About Our Scavenger Hunts
The Barclay Mountain Co. creates community-wide scavenger hunt that celebrates local history and hidden gems. Families can explore the community with custom-designed playing cards. Each card features a QR code that leads to challenges—like taking a selfie at a local business or finding answers on a company’s website. Completing these challenges unlocks cryptic clues and puzzles that guide participants to hidden coins.
Our Fundraising Program
The cards in the custom scavenger hunt deck are designed to be sponsored by local businesses, offering a unique and engaging way to reach the community. Each card highlights local history or points of interest and features a QR code that unlocks interactive online gameplay. When scanned, the sponsor’s business is showcased as the presenting sponsor of that card, with their ad prominently displayed during gameplay.
Sponsors also become part of the scavenger hunt experience, as participants complete challenges that involve visiting their locations, engaging with their business online, or discovering key details about their services. By selling these sponsorships to local businesses—such as banks, real estate agencies, HVAC companies, and more—you can generate enough revenue upfront to fully cover the production costs of the playing card deck, the custom coins hidden during the scavenger hunt, and the prizes awarded to participants. Since sponsorships fund the event, every deck sold afterward is 100% profit for your organization!
