TweetHunt

TweetHunt helps people run fun things on X: photo scavenger hunts, design contests, trivia nights and hashtag challenges. It's for community managers, small businesses, libraries, clubs, teachers, creators and anyone else who wants their followers to do something together rather than just scroll past.

What's here

The kit builder on the home page turns a few choices (format, dates, number of clues, prize) into a ready set of posts: the rules post, one post per clue or round, a judging rubric and a winner announcement. Each post has a character counter that follows X's counting rules, a copy button and a button that opens X's composer with the text filled in. A checklist covers the points from X's promotion guidelines that organizers most often miss.

The guides cover the rest: the platform's rules, the US legal basics of contests and sweepstakes, hunt ideas, fair judging and a little history.

Where the name comes from

Back in 2008, this domain hosted a fan-made design contest: people were invited to create a beer label inspired by Twitter's famous over-capacity page, the one users called the Fail Whale. It was the kind of playful, community-made project that early Twitter was full of. We liked that spirit and built the new site around it. You can read more in our short history of the Fail Whale and early Twitter culture.

Who we are

TweetHunt is written and maintained by the TweetHunt Team. We check X's published guidelines before we write about them and update the guides when they change. If something looks out of date, please let us know.

We don't run contests on anyone's behalf, sell followers or engagement, or take payment for coverage. The site has no ads, no affiliate links and no tracking.
