The bachelorette the bride will still talk about at the wedding
Scavenger hunts for hen dos, stag parties, and mixed bachelorette groups. Teams race through the city with bride-specific photo missions and checkpoints. Works for 6 to 30 people. Free to try.
Three steps from group chat to the hen do itself
No app to install. No facilitator to book.
Pick or build
Browse ready-made hunts for groups, or use GaiaGuide to build one tuned to the bride. Name drops, inside jokes, a specific ending bar.
Share one link
Everyone opens it on their phone. Teams form from a dropdown. 2 to 6 per team. Leaderboard optional.
Let the group run it
The hunt does the moving. You do the photos. Someone always starts a side bet before checkpoint three.
For every shape of pre-wedding party
Hen, stag, mixed, or something quieter.
Hen do
Classic bachelorette. Bride and her closest crew, 90 minutes of clues and chaos in the city before dinner.
Stag do
Groom's version. Same format, different photo missions. Works even when the group has strong personalities.
Mixed sten party
Co-ed bachelorette. Everyone invited. The hunt format works the same regardless of who's coming. Mix teams however you like.
Destination bachelorette
Flew to Barcelona or Lisbon for the weekend? A hunt anchors day one so the rest of the trip has energy. The bride isn't just drinking on a beach.
Low-key bride
She said 'nothing too crazy'. A City Guide hunt walks the group through the city at a relaxed pace, photos, wine bar at the end.
Second marriage
Older crowd, smaller group, different tone. The hunt adapts. No embarrassment challenges unless you want them.
Build one that's about the bride
Tell GaiaGuide who's getting married, where you are, and what the bride is like. It writes photo missions around her, checkpoints with inside jokes, and an ending that lands. You review and launch.
Our bride is Priya. Hen do in Lisbon, 8 of us, next Saturday. She hates surprises but loves photo challenges. Want 90 minutes in Bairro Alto, ending at a rooftop.
Built a route with 7 checkpoints. 4 photo missions are Priya-specific: she has to recreate a pose from her prom photo, find the bar where she met her fiancé, and two more. Walks 2.3km.
Ending at a rooftop near Miradouro de Santa Catarina. Want me to add a group toast checkpoint?

Questions planners ask
Is this just for bachelorettes, or does it work for bachelor parties too?
It works for both. The format is the same. You just pick or build a hunt with photo missions that fit the group.
The bride doesn't want anything cringe. Can we tone it down?
Yes. Pick a City Guide hunt for zero embarrassment, or use GaiaGuide to build one without cringe prompts. The bride sets the tone, you just brief the AI.
What about a mixed hen and stag party?
Works the same. Everyone's on the same hunt. Mix teams however you like. The bride and groom can be on opposing teams if you want that kind of energy.
How many people can play?
6 to 30 comfortably. Teams of 2 to 6 each. We've run larger events with custom routes. If the group is over 30, get in touch and we'll scale.
Can we end at a restaurant or rooftop?
Yes. Either pick a hunt that already ends somewhere good, or use GaiaGuide to route to a specific venue. Book the table separately.
How does pricing work?
Public hunts are free to play. Custom hunts built with GaiaGuide are free during beta. Most hen dos pay for their own drinks at the end and that's it.
What planners say
From maids of honour and best men who ran a hunt.
I was the MoH for my sister's hen. Ten of us, three teams, 90 minutes around the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona. She still talks about it. I didn't have to plan a single game.
Built the stag party hunt for my best friend through GaiaGuide. Added photo missions with stuff from our uni days. Cost me nothing and the chat was unhinged for weeks.
Sten party for our friends. Ten of us, mix of the bride's and groom's crew. The hunt was the best icebreaker I've seen at one of these. People who'd never met were in the same team, laughing, by checkpoint two.
