A free photo scavenger hunt app — no accounts, just a code
ColorCollect turns any group into a photo scavenger hunt in under a minute: share a 6-letter code, hunt the same color, watch everyone's shots land on a live shared grid, and vote the best ones into a montage.
Why colors beat item lists
Most photo scavenger hunt apps hand you a checklist — find a fountain, find a statue — that someone has to write and that only fits one place. ColorCollect's prompt is a color, and a color works everywhere: "find turquoise" is a different game in a city center, a supermarket, or a forest, and no two players ever bring back the same photo. That's what makes the voting round the best part.

One app, many occasions
The same room code works for a birthday party, a team icebreaker, a classroom color lesson, a road trip, friends playing from different cities, or a couple using it as a daily long-distance relationship activity. Planning an offline round first? Start with the color scavenger hunt guide and lists.
Frequently asked questions
Is ColorCollect really free?
The core game is free with no ads: the daily color, solo hunts, group rooms, and sharing your montage. Optional one-time in-app purchases add extras: Premium (every grid size, the Gradient and Film frames, no watermark) and tips to support development. There are no subscriptions, and you never need to buy anything to play.
Do players need to create accounts?
No. The host creates a room and gets a 6-letter code; everyone else joins with the code or an invite link and just picks a display name.
How is a color hunt different from a photo scavenger hunt with an item list?
Item lists run out and need writing in advance. A color prompt is infinite — "find coral" works in any city, any season, for any age — and every player's answer is different, which makes the voting round genuinely fun.
Does it work for team building?
Yes — a room code, a color, and 30 minutes make an easy icebreaker. Everyone's photos land on one shared grid, the group votes, and the result is a montage of the team's finds.
