Games your youth group will ask to play again

Every youth leader knows the challenge: phones compete with everything you plan. EventBattle flips that — the phone becomes the game. Players join with a 4-character code (no accounts, no sign-ups), complete photo tasks in teams, and watch the leaderboard shift in real time.

It works for a two-hour youth night, a weekend retreat, or a full week of camp. Leaders see every submitted photo, and any player can flag an inappropriate post — so you stay in control without hovering.

Three ways youth ministries use EventBattle

Weekly youth nights, summer camps, and all-church family events — one app covers the whole calendar.

Youth night games

A 45-minute photo scavenger hunt inside and around the building: verse hunts, team challenges, service tasks. Set it up once during the week, hit publish when the group arrives.

Camps & retreats

Multi-day games with a fresh leaderboard every day keep energy up all week. Landmark selfies, cabin challenges, and a big-screen leaderboard at evening sessions.

VBS family nights & all-church events

Family-night formats work best in teams sharing one phone: adults run the phones and the whole team hunts together. Tasks stay on-site and photo-based, so every family can join without extra apps or accounts.

Common questions from youth leaders

Is EventBattle suitable for church youth groups?

Yes — youth ministries are one of the most common EventBattle organizers. Leaders write the tasks, so the content matches your program: verse hunts, service missions, camp challenges. Players join with a 4-character code and a nickname; no accounts or personal details are required to play.

How do leaders keep the content appropriate?

Every submitted photo is visible to the game creator, and any player can flag an inappropriate post — a post reported by several players is hidden automatically. Photos live only as long as the event needs them: they are deleted automatically about two weeks after the game ends, and the organizer gets a heads-up email before that happens.

Does it work for a whole week of camp?

Yes. Games can run multiple days — you pick the start and end and the hour when each game day closes — and the leaderboard can rank each day separately or the whole camp combined. Every day is a fresh start, but the week still crowns an overall winner.

What does it cost for a youth group?

The free plan covers 3 players — enough to test a full game before youth night. A 10-player group plays for $29 (Party), up to 25 for $59 (Battle), and bigger camps use per-player pricing. One price per game, no subscription.
