Loquiz alternative

The Loquiz alternative without per-device fees

Loquiz is a powerful platform with deep game logic. But players need to install an app, pricing is charged per device, and there is no free plan beyond a trial. HuntHopper plays in the browser, has flat transparent pricing and a permanent free tier, so a normal-sized group doesn't cost per head.

No app, plays in the browser Flat price, not per device Built-in AI

HuntHopper

That's us

A scavenger hunt app built for team events, parties and company outings. Players join in the browser, no download. You build your hunt in minutes and everyone competes on a live leaderboard. Simple to set up, with flat pricing and a free plan.

  • No app needed, plays in any mobile browser
  • Flat pricing, no per-device fees
  • Free up to 3 players or teams
  • AI writes challenges and reviews photo submissions
  • Fast to learn, first game ready in an hour

Honestly: Loquiz has deeper branching and conditional logic. If you want to build intricate, rule-heavy games, its engine is more advanced than ours.

Loquiz

An Estonian gamification platform for games, tours and team building, with a powerful rule engine and offline play. Players install a native app. Pricing is per device: a monthly or yearly base plus a fee for every device that plays, or pay-per-use.

  • Players must install the native app
  • Per-device pricing that adds up for larger groups
  • No free plan, only a 14-day trial
  • Only a beta object-recognition AI, no challenge writing or judging
  • Powerful branching game logic

Fair note: for complex, conditional game design and rugged offline city tours, Loquiz's depth and control are a genuine strength.

Pricing

Flat price versus per device

The pricing models are fundamentally different. Loquiz charges a base plus a fee for every device that plays, so a bigger group costs proportionally more, and there is no free plan. HuntHopper charges a flat amount per event or per month regardless of how many people join, up to your plan's limit, and starts free.

HuntHopper Loquiz
Free plan Yes, up to 3 players or teams No, 14-day trial only
Pricing model Flat per event or per month Base + per device (e.g. €9/mo + €9/device)
~100 players €299/mo, unlimited events (up to 200 each) Pay-per-use ≈ €900 at €9 per player
One-off event From €29 (10 players), €199 (60) Pay-per-use, €9 per player (min €9)

Loquiz counts a "player" as a device that gives at least a few answers. For larger groups the per-device model adds up quickly. HuntHopper's full pricing is on our pricing page.

Where they really differ

Loquiz is built for depth and control. HuntHopper is built for a quick, competitive event without friction.

No paying per head

Loquiz charges a fee for every device that plays, so a 100-person event on pay-per-use runs to around €900. HuntHopper charges a flat amount, a one-off ticket or a monthly plan, no matter how many people join up to your plan's limit. For anything beyond a small group, that is a big difference in cost.

No app to install

Loquiz players download a native app and the game onto their device. HuntHopper players scan a QR code or open a link and start in the browser. For a one-off corporate group or a mixed crowd, skipping the install removes a real barrier at the start of the event.

Faster to set up

Loquiz's rule engine is powerful but complex, which is great for intricate games and a lot to learn under time pressure. HuntHopper is designed to get a first game ready in about an hour, with an AI challenge generator to fill it out. Less depth, much less setup.

AI that judges photos

Loquiz has a beta object-recognition task but no AI content creation or judging; you handle photos on a web results wall. HuntHopper writes challenges with AI and takes the first pass at photo submissions, and you approve or reject live from the app (video tasks you review yourself).
