Drop a pin. Tell the story of the hunt.
Every ColorCollect group hunt has a shared live map. Snap a great find and pin it so the whole room can see where the color was hiding — and it's completely opt-in: every photo stays yours until you choose to share it. Free, no accounts.
How the room map works
- Start or join a group huntSpin up a room or hop in with a 6-letter code, then everyone hunts the same color together. See how group hunts work →
- Hunt and snapPhotograph real-world matches as you spot them — a turquoise door, a tiled pool, a strip of morning sky.
- Pin the ones you love — opt-inTap a shot to drop it on the room's shared map. It's your call, photo by photo; skip any you'd rather keep to yourself.
- Watch the map fill up, livePins from everyone in the room appear in real time, so the map becomes a shared picture of where the color turned up.
You decide what lands on the map
The map is a bonus, never a requirement. It only ever holds what you deliberately put there.
- Opt-in, photo by photo — you tap to add each one
- Nothing is shared to the map automatically
- Only the people in your room see your room's map
- Skip the map entirely — the hunt plays exactly the same
The map is one half of the hunt
The room map shows where the color turned up; the group hunt itself turns everyone's winning shots into one shared montage plus a final-standings card. They go hand in hand — start a hunt, then decide what to put on the map.
Frequently asked questions
Is the photo map private?
Only the people in your room can see your room's map, and nothing appears on it unless you deliberately pin it. There is no public map and no global feed.
Do I have to share where my photos were taken?
No. Pinning is opt-in photo by photo — you tap to add each one, and skipping the map entirely does not change how the hunt plays.
Does ColorCollect track my location in the background?
No. Location is read only from the photos you choose to pin, only while you are using the app, and only for the room you are in.
Can we use the map if we are hunting in different cities?
Yes — that is when it is most fun. The room map zooms out to fit everyone, so a hunt split across two cities shows both, side by side.
