Hundreds of uploads. Several dozen challenges. Nearly every submission connected to a prompt.

That was the shape of one company photo hunt on Gather Shot. The challenges weren’t a small extra beside the photo collection. They were how nearly all of it came together.

A collection built around challenges

The event had several dozen prompts, with hundreds of media uploads linked to hunt completions. Instead of sitting only in a general gallery, those submissions were connected to individual challenges.

That’s a useful distinction when you’re planning an offsite. A general invitation asks people to share whatever they capture. A photo hunt gives them specific things to respond to, and gives the host a way to review responses by prompt.

Here, nearly all uploads followed that second path. The total counts submissions, not employees: one person can contribute to several challenges.

How Gather Shot fit into this company photo hunt

Gather Shot connected the challenge list to the photos people submitted. With nearly every upload tied to a hunt completion, the collection reflected what people did for each prompt, rather than just holding a loose set of event pictures.

For a company event, that puts the activity and its photo collection in the same place. Guests can open the hunt in their browser, choose a challenge and upload a response. Hosts can review submissions by prompt without having to sort a general gallery into challenges afterward.

Give your team a place to start

You don’t need several dozen prompts to try the format. Pick a handful from our office photo scavenger hunt guide , set a finish time and explain what happens to the photos afterward.

Offer ways to join without appearing in a picture. Someone can suggest an idea, arrange objects or help a teammate take the shot. Keep screens, badges and confidential documents out of frame.

In Gather Shot’s photo hunts , guests open a QR code or link, choose a prompt and upload through their browser. The host can review responses by challenge. If you want points, keep a separate score sheet: personal completion tracking isn’t automatic team scoring.

Before inviting uploads, check your gallery and moderation settings . Our company event guide and corporate photography resource cover the wider collection plan.

Try a smaller version at your next offsite

The free office photo pack gives you eight prompts, simple rules and a printable score sheet. Adapt it to your team, then test the upload link before sharing it.

For two different approaches, explore a community campaign that ran for weeks and a memorial collection that started before the gathering .
