How a photo challenge works
A photo challenge — or photo scavenger hunt — gives guests a short list of moments to capture: a selfie with the couple, the oldest and youngest guest together, the best dance move of the night. It turns “take some photos” into a game, and it sends people looking for exactly the candid shots a photographer cannot be everywhere to catch.
The part most challenges miss is the upload. Photos taken for a scavenger hunt end up on forty phones, just like the rest. That is why every card here carries a QR code: a guest completes a challenge, scans, and the photo lands where you collect everything else.
How many challenges, and which ones
Eight to twelve challenges is the sweet spot for most events: enough variety for every table, few enough that guests actually finish. Mix easy ones anyone can do in a minute (a toast, the view from your seat) with a few that make people move around the room (someone you just met, the guest who travelled furthest).
Print one challenge per card and scatter them across the tables, so each table gets a different mission — or print the full list on one sheet per table and let guests race through it. Both formats print on A4 or US Letter, four cards to a sheet.
Collecting the answers
Point the QR code at an EventUploader page and every challenge photo arrives in one gallery, from any phone, without an app or an account. On paid plans you can then sort the answers into albums — one per challenge, for instance — and share them with your guests after the event.

Common questions
What is a photo scavenger hunt at a wedding?
+
A list of photo prompts guests complete during the reception — a selfie with the couple, a toast in mid-air, the best dance move. It keeps guests mingling and fills your album with candid photos the photographer could not catch.
How many photo challenges should I use?
+
Eight to twelve works for most events. Fewer feels thin; many more and guests stop before the end. The generator lets you pick 6 to 16 and add your own, up to 20.
Can I write my own challenges?
+
Yes. Every challenge on the list is editable, you can remove any of them, and you can add your own — inside jokes and place names make the best ones.
How do guests send the photos?
+
They scan the QR code printed on the card. Point it at your EventUploader upload page and the photos land in your gallery directly — or at any shared album link you already use.
What paper should I print the cards on?
+
Card stock of 250–300 g/m² (90–110 lb) keeps the cards standing on a table. The sheet splits into four A6 cards on A4, or four quarter-page cards on US Letter, with the cut lines printed in.
