When Is the Best Time to Run a Scavenger Hunt Competition?

Run scavenger hunts during launches, holidays, or seasonal events. Click to see why timing boosts engagement and visibility.

The best time to run a scavenger hunt is when excitement is naturally high — such as:

  • Product launches
  • Holiday campaigns (Valentine’s Day, Back to School)
  • Flash sales or limited-time offers
  • Milestone events (anniversaries, 10K follower celebrations)

These moments give you a built-in narrative and increase participation. For seasonal timing ideas, check our February Giveaway Ideas Guide.
