Indoor Team Building with Interactive Posters
Interactive posters and QR codes that turn conference rooms, hallways, hotel lobbies, or a full venue into the game environment.
What this is
If you're running a corporate event indoors and want something more interactive than trivia or a sit-down session, onsite poster games turn any indoor space into a team activity. Posters with hidden clues, puzzles, and QR codes go up around your venue. Teams of five to ten move between them, solving challenges, snapping photo and video missions, and racing each other on a live leaderboard. The room looks transformed before anyone plays, and the gameplay rewards teamwork, creativity, and quick thinking. Posters fit a single conference room, a full hotel, or anywhere with wall space.
How it works
Six steps from setup to wrap-up.
- 1
Posters arrive pre-printed. Themed to the chosen game and right-sized for your space. Larger venues or larger groups get the same poster set repeated in multiple zones, so teams aren't crowded around the same wall.
- 2
Posters go up around your venue based on the space available. Conference rooms, hallways, hotel lobbies, breakout rooms, outdoor areas, beaches, library spaces, full property. Challenges have been customized to whatever your space is. Your game knows what's around it.
- 3
Teams form at kickoff. Five to ten players per team depending on group size. Smaller groups (under 50) usually run with teams of four to six. Larger groups (200+) often run with teams of ten ("our table"). Team sizes are flexible and Social Scavenger will recommend a size based on your headcount.
- 4
One device per team runs the Social Scavenger app. A briefing video sets the goal. The video can be customized to your group, and optionally introduced live by an onsite host.
- 5
Teams move between posters in any order. They scan QR codes, unlock challenges, solve puzzles, decode hidden clues, complete photo and video missions, and take on AI-driven twists.
- 6
Live leaderboard, surprise reveals, and a wrap-up. Real-time scoring throughout. Optional twists shake up the standings late-game. Wrap-up includes a leaderboard reveal, an instant slideshow, and an optional custom highlight reel.
Where it works
Posters work anywhere with wall space (or freestanding mounts). Common setups:
- One conference room. Posters cluster on walls within a contained space.
- Conference room plus hallways. Posters spread out for movement without leaving the venue.
- Multiple breakout rooms. Each room becomes a station, teams rotate through.
- Hotel lobby, ballroom, or pre-function space. Posters use the venue's existing flow.
- Full property. Posters spread across a hotel, resort, or campus for a 90-minute property-wide game.
- Office spaces. Open-plan, common areas, hallways, glass partitions, easels.
- Indoor with outdoor extensions. Posters anchor indoors, but video missions and other challenges can flex outside (a beach, a courtyard, the street out front) where it makes sense.
The format scales from 20 people in one room up to 500+ across a property.
Available titles
Three game titles plus a fully custom option. Different styles, different lead times.
Great Scott! The Time-Traveling Team Adventure
Five decade-themed posters spanning the 80s through the 2030s, packed with nostalgia, hidden clues, and puzzles. Off-the-shelf, ready to play, works for any group and any indoor space. The most popular Social Scavenger poster title.

Who Kidnapped YOUR Boss?
A two-hour mystery where five of your own team members become the suspects. Custom suspect posters carry their photos, motives, and personalized clues. An optional AI-generated kickoff video creates a custom blockbuster intro. Premier-tier with custom assets and a four-to-six-week lead time. Best for groups that want their own people in the story.
See how Who Kidnapped YOUR Boss? works →Where in the World is the Crystal Snow Globe?
A global travel themed game. Players travel around the world solving puzzles and tracking down the lost crystal. Currently runs as a QR-code game; the posters can be produced for your event if you want the full poster experience.

Custom Poster Games
Built around your event theme, your company values, your industry, or whatever narrative fits. A recent example: a custom pirate-themed poster game ("Grand Line Treasure! A Straw Hat Crew Adventure") proposed for a streaming network's campus event, with the game built around their pirate adventure show. Custom poster designs, custom challenges, custom narrative. Pricing depends on scope and lead time.

- You're at a hotel or conference center and would rather stay onsite. → Indoor Team Building
- You're planning a leadership conference and need polished, low-friction logistics. → Leadership Conference
