The Digital Wedding I Spy & Photo Scavenger Hunt
Replace printable I Spy cards with an interactive smartphone experience. Guests snap, upload, and compete — all from their phones. No app download needed.
Why Printable I Spy Cards Fall Flat
The classic wedding I Spy card is a great idea with terrible execution.
Cards get lost or spilled on
By the end of the night, most are crumpled under the table or soaked in wine.
No way to collect the photos
Guests take photos on their own phones with no shared destination. You never see 90% of them.
Zero engagement tracking
Did 5 guests participate or 50? You'll never know. There's no way to measure engagement.
No competitive element
Without a leaderboard or progress bar, there's nothing driving guests to actually complete the challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wedding I Spy game?
A wedding I Spy game gives guests a list of photo challenges to find and capture during the reception — like "Selfie with the Bride" or "Best Dance Move." Traditionally done with printed cards, the digital version lets guests snap and upload photos directly from their phones with a live gallery and optional leaderboard.
How does a digital wedding scavenger hunt work?
Guests scan a single QR code to open the scavenger hunt on their phone — no app download needed. They browse the challenge list, tap a challenge, snap a photo, and upload it instantly. A live gallery and optional leaderboard track progress in real time.
Do guests need to download an app to play?
No. My Wedding Trivia's I Spy scavenger hunt runs entirely in the phone's web browser. Guests scan a QR code and start playing immediately — no app store, no sign-up, no friction.
How many photo challenges should I include?
We recommend 10–15 challenges for most weddings. This gives guests enough variety without feeling overwhelming. You can pick from 25+ ready-made templates or write your own custom prompts.
Can I customize the scavenger hunt prompts?
Absolutely. You can create fully custom challenges with your own titles, descriptions, and emoji icons. You can also mix custom challenges with our curated template library of 25+ wedding-specific prompts.
Is the I Spy scavenger hunt included in all plans?
Yes. The Photo Scavenger Hunt (I Spy) is included in all paid My Wedding Trivia plans alongside trivia, shoe game, photo wall, photo booth, and wedding bets.
