Make it a night to remember

  • Assign a specific theme to each color, like red foods, yellow cars, or blue skies, to make the hunt more creative.
  • Add a challenge to each color, such as only outdoor photos, one photo per day, or no repeated objects.
  • Make shared photo albums. Create an album for each color so you can see all your red photos together, all your yellow photos together, and so on. It’s a fun way to track your hunt and compare your finds!
