Avery Scavenger Hunt is the companion app for the team scavenger hunt run by the student organizers of Avery House, a residence at Caltech. • Live leaderboard — every team's points update in real time; tap a team to see exactly which checklist items they've completed. • Photo & video proof — complete checklist items by capturing a photo or short video in the app and tagging it to the item. Counted items ("how many…?") score per unit. • Works with spotty signal — captures are saved on your phone and upload themselves when you're back in coverage. • Shared feed — see every team's latest uploads as they happen. • Your team at a glance — your checklist progress and teammates. The hunt is a friendly competition with no prizes — bragging rights only. Sign-in uses a personal access code emailed to registered participants; there is no public registration. You can close your account at any time from the Team tab. Curious how it works? Tap "Preview the app with sample data" on the sign-in screen. Built and run by Avery House student organizers. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the California Institute of Technology.
