## What is Color Hunt?

A photo scavenger hunt for holidays, parties, family trips and long weekends. Everyone draws a different color, then goes looking for it.

Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, the 4th of July, or any season: pick a color pack and the whole group hunts in the colors of the day. Orange and black for a Halloween party. Red, green and gold for Christmas. Pastels for an Easter egg hunt with the kids.

Nine finds make your grid - a painted door, a bus seat, somebody's jacket, a ribbon on a present.

The catch is that nobody sees anybody else's photos. Your finds appear to the group frosted beyond recognition, next to the four strongest colors in the shot. Enough to be intrigued by. Not enough to tell what it is.

So the hunt runs with everyone half-blind. You watch the grids fill up. You poke whoever has been sitting on two out of nine since Tuesday. And then the host starts the reveal, and every grid clears, one hunter at a time.

HOW A HUNT GOES

Someone starts one and shares a six-character code. No account, no email - pick a name and you're in.

Everyone gets a color the moment they join, from the pack the host picked: holiday, seasonal, or the classic twelve. Or wait in a lobby and draw them all together. Want more mystery? Make it anonymous, so nobody knows whose grid is whose until the votes are in.

You go hunting. Shoot as much as you like; only the nine you place are shown. Drag them into any order until the deadline.

The reveal. Every grid un-blurs, and then you hand out gold, silver and bronze. Never to your own.

Post it. Export one 3000x3000 image, or nine files numbered so they assemble correctly across a social profile grid.

GREAT FOR

Halloween parties. Christmas with the family. Easter egg hunts. Valentine's Day dates. Summer road trips. Fall weekends. Birthday parties, class trips, team days, and the slow middle of any holiday.

NOT SURE YET?

There's a demo hunt on the home screen. It plays on its own, no group and no sign-up needed, so you can see the whole arc before roping anybody in.

WHAT WE DON'T DO

No account. No email, no password, no phone number. You choose a display name and that's the whole of it.

No location. Photos are re-encoded before they're uploaded, so the camera metadata - including where you were - never leaves your phone.

No tracking. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs. Nothing follows you anywhere.

Free to play. The only thing for sale is an optional color reroll.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-10-12

Holiday color packs, and hunts that start the moment you make them.

• 15 new colors and 10 color packs: Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, 4th of July, Spring, Summer, Fall, and the Classic 12. Pick one in a tap. The pack for the time of year comes first.
• Start right away: you get your color as soon as you make the hunt, and everyone else gets theirs the moment they join. No waiting in a lobby.
• New color reveals: a shuffled deck deals everyone's color, a prize wheel spins for yours, and confetti in your color when it lands.
• Drag your photos to any square on your grid while the hunt is on.
• Photos you take in the app are saved to your camera roll (you can turn this off).
• Hosts can hide the point totals on the results and just show the podium.
• Smoother typing when you set up a hunt, and easier-to-read buttons for dark colors.

### 1.4 — 2026-10-05

Anonymous hunts, medal voting, and a tidier home screen.

• Anonymous hunts: the host can keep whose grid is whose a secret until the votes are in. Names come out with the results.
• Voting is now medals. Give one grid gold, one silver and one bronze, and see your picks at the bottom of the screen before you submit.
• Start a hunt and Join stay at the bottom of your hunts list, however many hunts you've played, and older hunts tuck away behind "Show all".
• Not feeling your color? The reroll option is easier to find, and keeping your color is always free.
• Fixed: dragging squares to rearrange your grid now saves.
• Fixed: the sign-up screen no longer flashes up when you open the app.
• Guesses and hints have been retired to keep the hunt simple.

### 1.3 — 2026-09-26

Rerolls, and a hunts list that tells you what to do next.

• Not feeling your color? Reroll it before you place your first photo. Buy one reroll or unlock unlimited. Nobody else in the hunt sees you do it.
• Rerolls spin through the palette with a tick, a chime and a haptic buzz before landing on your new color.
• Every hunt on your list has a nine-square grid that fills in your color as you find things, with a count of what's left.
• Each hunt shows a countdown to the deadline and a plain line for what to do next: "Find 6 more pink things", "All nine in · waiting on 2 hunters", "Cast your ballot".
• Text now scales with your Dynamic Type setting.
• A friendlier start screen: "Let's find some colors."

### 1.2 — 2026-09-18

Your grid, your shape, your framing.

• Choose the shape of your grid: square, 3:4, or tall 9:16. Everyone sees your grid the way you built it.
• Pinch to zoom and drag to choose exactly what fills each square. Change your mind any time before the reveal.
• Give your hunt an emoji — flags included — and house rules the whole group can read.
• Notifications now appear while you have the app open, and tapping one opens the hunt it's about.
• Swapping a square no longer notifies everybody.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-17

Fixes and a smoother way to play.

- Fixed a bug that could cost you access to your hunts if you hadn't opened Color Hunt for a while. You now stay you, even after deleting and reinstalling the app.
- Fixed a bug that could jump you to a different hunt's screen in the middle of playing.
- Tap an empty square to take or choose a photo for it. Camera and Library now sit right under your progress bar.
- Photos no longer spill outside their squares.
- Joining is easier: copy the whole invite message, tap Paste, and the code is found for you.
- Invite links now open a page with the join code and a Copy button.
