Your mission. A local adventure. Created for free.
Let’s build an adventure in your city. We’d love to create a free, custom Find the Idol game for your organization to help your community discover what you do and connect with your mission.
Limited availability. Each adventure takes time and care to create, and our capacity for free games is limited. We’d love to hear your idea, but submitting a request doesn’t guarantee a free game.
Find a game. Visit the spots. Collect the idols.
2. Head to the featured spots
Each game features local businesses, events, and points of interest around the area.
3. Collect the idol
Find the physical wooden idol and scan its QR code, or check in from your phone for a digital idol.
4. Earn points
Each new idol you collect earns that task's points, saves the idol to your collection, and reveals any available reward from that business.
Bonus: Help unlock game rewards
Invite friends to collect idols and help unlock bigger prizes in games that offer them. Winners are decided by skill and final leaderboard results. Free to play. Winning isn’t guaranteed. See the game page for prizes, rules, and who can win.
