How to use it
- Pick who is playing. Little kids get only bold, unmistakable colors. Kids get a mix of easy and medium ones. Teens and adults get the in-between hues nobody agrees on.
- Pick how many colors. Six is a ten-minute hunt for small children; twelve is a proper afternoon for a group of adults.
- Generate until you like it. Every click draws a fresh set of colors and a fresh "where to look" hint for each one. Turn the hints off for a harder hunt.
- Print and go. The print button prints just the sheet — no website around it. Print one per player or one per team.
Which colors each age gets
The generator sorts every color by how hard it is to find, not how hard it is to name. These are the three pools it draws from — tap any color for a full list of things to find in it.
Easy: bold colors for little kids
Medium: added for kids 7–11
Hard: in-between hues for teens and adults
Little kids draw only from the easy pool, kids from easy and medium, and teens and adults from medium and hard.
Keep the photos, not just the ticks
ColorCollect is the same hunt on a phone: everyone photographs their finds, and the shots snap into one shared photo montage. Friends join with a 6-letter room code — no accounts.

Frequently asked questions
How does the color scavenger hunt generator work?
Choose who is playing and how many colors you want, then press Generate. It picks that many colors at the right difficulty, adds a real-world hint for each, and lays them out as a printable checklist with a swatch, a tick box and a line to write the find.
Is the generator free?
Yes. There is no signup and nothing to download — generate as many lists as you like and print them straight from the page.
Will two players get the same list?
Only if you print one list for everyone. Press Generate once per player and each gets a different set of colors, which stops copying.
Can I use it in a classroom?
Yes. A different sheet per table keeps groups from following each other around, and the little-kids preset uses only colors young children can name.
