Lost something on campus?
Post a bounty. Get it back.
BearHunt turns finding lost items into a scavenger hunt — other students hunt for your item and earn a reward when they return it.
Only @berkeley.edu accounts · Free to join
Post a bounty
Describe what you lost, where you think you lost it, and set a reward — $2 minimum, no cap. You decide what getting it back is worth to you.
- Your card is saved but not charged until you confirm you got your item back
- Higher bounties get found faster — set what it's really worth to you
- Bounty expires automatically after 30 days if unclaimed

Finders hunt & claim
Every Berkeley student is a potential finder. They browse active bounties, spot a match, and claim it by submitting a photo and location as proof.
- Finders search by description — “blue backpack near Wheeler” works
- Up to 5 proof photos submitted per claim
- You review the proof and approve or reject — you're always in control

Meet up & collect
Once you approve a claim, an in-app message thread opens so you can coordinate the handoff safely. Confirm receipt and the bounty is released automatically.
- 85% of the bounty goes directly to the finder
- Secure Stripe payouts to any bank account
- Built-in dispute system if something goes wrong
