Some of the best memories I’ve ever made didn’t come from fancy venues or expensive plans. They came from laughter in the middle of a scavenger hunt, unexpected team-ups during a challenge, and that rush of seeing your name climb the leaderboard while your friends try to catch up.
Over the years, my friends and I have hosted dozens of events—from bachelor parties and cruises to company retreats and casual weekends—where we used custom games, challenges, and point systems to keep the energy going. It completely transformed those experiences. People who had never met were suddenly laughing together. Quiet moments became bursts of excitement. And even bystanders got curious and joined in.
That’s the spirit behind Thrillify.
What is Thrillify?
Thrillify is an interactive event platform and companion app that transforms any gathering into a challenge-driven adventure. Organizers can create custom events filled with real-world mini games. The platform currently supports photo, video, and gps challenges, as well as trivia, with many more challenge types on the way. Build scavenger hunts, dares, sightseeing routes, puzzles, and more. Guests join using a simple event code, complete challenges to earn points, and track their progress on a live leaderboard.
Whether you’re running a corporate team-building day, planning a cruise itinerary, or just making your friend’s birthday weekend extra memorable, Thrillify helps you make the experience more engaging and connected.
Why It Matters
We’ve all been at events where the energy dips or the group splinters. Thrillify was built to fix that.
It gives people a shared sense of purpose and a reason to interact. It creates natural moments of connection. And it adds something extra to fill the downtime between meals, meetings, or nightlife, without feeling forced or awkward.
Having seen this work again and again at events we’ve planned, I wanted to turn those ideas into something that anyone could use, with a smooth and simple interface that takes the hassle out of running it.

Who It’s For
Thrillify is designed to work with any kind of event, whether it’s big or small, personal or professional. Here are just a few ways people are using it:
For Company Offsites and Team Building
Replace awkward icebreakers with interactive challenges that actually get people moving and working together. It’s a fun, low-stakes way to build relationships and boost morale.
For Parties and Gatherings
Add structure and fun to bachelor/bachelorette weekends, birthdays, bar crawls, or reunions. Thrillify makes it easy to tailor games to your group’s sense of humor and style.
For Schools and Camps
Engage students and campers with educational or just-for-fun activities that are easy to set up and even easier to join. Perfect for orientations, field days, or summer programs.
On Cruises and at Resorts
Fill the in-between hours with custom activities that encourage guests to explore, engage, and compete in a low-pressure way. It’s a great way to mix strangers into new friend groups and keep things exciting throughout the trip.
Built with Passion, Growing with Ideas
This isn’t just a side project for me—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. The memories we’ve made through these kinds of experiences are the ones that still come up years later, and the photos and videos make them easy to relive. With Thrillify, I’m not just recreating those moments for myself. I want to give you the tools to create unforgettable moments of your own.
I’ve got a lot of exciting ideas I plan to build out: new challenge types, themed event templates, better team mechanics, and tools to bring even more creativity and spontaneity to your events.
