Scavvi for partners

Create experiences that give people a reason to explore your place.

Bring your place to life with things to find, notice and do together. You decide who it's for, what it's about and how it looks. We're designing the tools now, and looking for a small number of first partners to shape them with us.

Talk to usSee how it works
Point the camera at the code
The phone's own camera. No app needed.
What happens in this example
  1. At the door of the fictional Harbourside Museum, the phone camera spots a QR code. Tap to open the trail in the browser. No download.
  2. The family trail, in the museum's own colours. Choose a quick look or the full trail, and turn on step-free or read aloud.
  3. A stop in Gallery 2: find the painted fish and count its spots. You answer on the page, no camera needed.
  4. Done: the trail is complete, with an optional one-tap question about how it went.

for the people who visit

What people get.

  • Curiosity

    A reason to look closer. A carving becomes a clue.

  • Fun

    Missions, riddles and small wins.

  • Discovery

    The things they'd have walked past.

  • Together

    Made for groups: families, friends, couples, a class.

Before they arrive: a clear invitation that says what it is, how long it takes and who it suits.

You decide

What you can shape.

Who it's for
Families, adults, mixed groups or school trips.
What it's about
Any story or subject: your collection, your history, your food, your season. You decide.
The route
Short or full, step-free, indoors, or across several places.
How it looks
Your colours and your name.
The format
Explore a collection, discover a neighbourhood, a seasonal quest, an event-day challenge, a story to follow, or a quiet look-closer walk.

Three ways in

How it reaches people.

The same experience can open from a QR code at your door, sit inside the channels you already run, or appear in the Scavvi app.

  • A link or QR code

    Your own web experience, in your colours. People scan the code at the door, or tap a link before they come. No download.

    In development

  • Your own channels

    Inside your website, app, emails or tickets, or under your own name and web address.

    In development

  • The Scavvi app

    Where it suits families who already play Scavvi, with your name on it.

    The app itself is live on iPhone and Android.

One studio, eight steps

How the work runs.

Drafts, previews and what's live will be kept separate, and you'll be able to pause an experience at any time.

In development

  1. Step 1: Brief

    Who it's for and why.

  2. Step 2: Create

    Missions, clues and context.

  3. Step 3: Place

    Routes and practical checks.

  4. Step 4: Preview

    Try it as a visitor.

  5. Step 5: Review

    Your sign-off, then ours.

  6. Step 6: Publish

    Pick the way in and the dates.

  7. Step 7: Learn

    Answers to your questions.

  8. Step 8: Refresh

    A new edition next season.

It starts with a brief, not a story.

Here is the first step for a fictional evening walk for adults. Who it's for, what it's about, when it runs and what would make it worth doing. Everything after that builds on it.

How it works, and how we count

Learn

Learning what works.

Start with a question. Did people enjoy it? Could everyone take part? Which stops worked? We keep three kinds of answer apart: what we saw happen, what people told us, and anything that would need a proper comparison to prove.

Results will be grouped, with small groups hidden, and every chart will show how many people it covers. We never show an individual child, their photos or their route.

In developmentWhat each number means

Safety

Safety comes first.

Every experience will be checked before it goes live. No one can skip that step, at any price.

Where children may take part, extra rules will switch on: no photographing people, invite-only groups and no ads. Families don't need an email address to play. Scavvi never sees card details.

In development

Honestly

What's real today, and what we're building.

Available now

  • The Scavvi app on iPhone and Android.
  • 25 city trails in 20 cities on the same engine, with a photo check on every find.
  • Built by a family, with an 11-year-old deciding what goes in.
Live

What we're building next

  • The studio, from brief to refresh.
  • Your own web experience, from a link or QR code.
  • Experiences under your own name, or in your own channels.
  • Learn reports that answer your questions.
  • Made with you: we shape, write and walk-test it with you.
  • Trails made by schools and groups, and school-visit editions. Proposed
In development

We're looking for a small number of first partners to shape it with us.

Working together

Ways to work with us.

  • Made with you

    We'll shape it with you: the brief, the writing, the route and the walk-test. Most first projects start here.

    In development

  • Build it with your team

    Once the studio is ready, your own team can make, check and refresh experiences themselves, with us on hand.

    In development

  • Through a consultant or design studio

    If someone already designs your visitor experiences, they can build with Scavvi for you. You stay in charge of what goes live.

    In development

Prices. Prices aren't set. A first project is scoped with you, including content, set-up and support, not just software.

Working with consultants and design studios

If you design or advise on visitor experiences, you can build with Scavvi for more than one client. Each client approves its own experience, decides who sees its results, and sees only its own. You can draft and advise; your client decides what goes live. We'd like to shape this with the first consultants who work with us.

In development

Schools as partners

For schools, clubs and groups.

Schools, holiday clubs, youth groups and home-education groups could work with us too. It would be the same studio, set up for a group, not a separate product.

Today: play with the Scavvi app

Scavvi Pro covers up to 50 players and 30 items in a hunt, and you can write your own items for the trip. One person shares a five-character code, and nobody needs an email address to play.

LiveHow groups use Scavvi today

What we'd like to build: trails for your group

  • A trail for your school grounds, your local area or a trip, made in the same studio.
  • Or a place's school-visit edition of its experience.
  • Class or group codes, not children's accounts, and a simple view for the adult in charge.
  • Children photograph objects, never people. No public or nearby groups, and no ads.
  • Grouped results only, never an individual child.
Proposed

Before any school pilot, we'd agree a data processing agreement with you and work through a data protection impact assessment together.

Where to begin

Find your starting point.

Tell us about your place.

Tell us about the place, who you'd like to reach and what you'd like them to do. We'll tell you honestly whether Scavvi fits.

When we talk, we'll ask who checks the facts, who approves the route, who can pause it, and what happens after the first run.
