Welcome to Joy Scavengers
A monthly hunt for everyday joy.
Each month, we send out a new scavenger hunt and feature one person who pays close attention to the world.
A Quick & Brilliant Announcement
Our December Featured Scavenger, Joshua Peterson, will be performing in River & Rail’s upcoming production of Every Brilliant Thing!
When Joshua pays attention, he makes room for someone else to change the story.
Share What You Found
Add your photos or anything inspired by the hunt here. A blurry shot, a poem, a short story, a painting?
It all belongs!
Know a Joy Scavenger?
Some people really embody what it means to be a joy scavenger. If someone you know would make a great featured scavenger, we would love to hear more about them!
Joy Shop
A tiny excuse to add more joy to what is already there.
Each magnet is made by hand, so no two are exactly alike. Stick them over photos, postcards, grocery lists, or anywhere else that could use a little bit of joy.
Mini set- 5 tiny magnets (about 1 inch each)
Regular set- 2 magnets (about 1.5-2 inches each)
Inspired by December’s Featured Scavenger, Joshua Peterson. This sock dog painting represents a moment from the production, Every Brilliant Thing.

Only seven prints of each month’s illustration are made.
The original artwork is gifted to that month’s featured Scavenger as a thank you for their contribution to the project.
Every print purchased helps fund future postcards, illustrations, and featured Scavengers while keeping the monthly hunt free for everyone.
