Unbox and set up your Adventure Challenge Solo Camera Bundle in a few simple steps. Get your instant camera ready for solo date nights and start scratching off adventures alone.

Quick Answer

To set up your Solo Camera Bundle, first unbox the camera and check the contents, then insert film, power on the camera, and pair it with the scratch-off adventure book. This guide walks you through the entire process.

Before You Start: What’s in the Box

The Solo Camera Bundle includes 30 scratch-off adventures designed for solo dates, plus a signature instant camera. You’ll find the camera body, a USB charging cable (likely micro-USB; check your unit), and the adventure book inside. The film pack is not included and must be purchased separately—make sure you have a compatible 10-pack of Fuji Instax Mini film on hand before starting.

Camera Compatibility and Limitations

This bundle uses a standard instant camera that works only with Fuji Instax Mini film. The camera does not have a rechargeable battery indicator light, so charge it for about 2 hours before first use to avoid a mid-date dead battery. There is no memory card slot—the camera relies entirely on physical film prints.

Step-by-Step Setup Process

Unbox and Inspect Contents: Remove the camera, adventure book, and charging cable from the box. Verify the camera body is undamaged and the scratch-off book hasn’t been tampered with. Common mistake: skip the damage check and later find a battery issue or missing film. Always do a quick visual inspection first.
Charge the Camera Battery: Plug the USB cable into the camera and a USB power source. Let it charge for 2 hours before the first use, even if the camera seems to turn on. Checkpoint: The camera may not have a charging indicator; a full 2-hour charge ensures you don’t run out of power mid-adventure.
Load the Film Pack: Open the film compartment on the back of the camera. Insert a fresh pack of Fuji Instax Mini film with the yellow alignment mark matching the yellow mark inside the camera. Close the compartment door firmly. Common mistake: opening the film compartment after the pack is inserted exposes the film to light and ruins it. Only load film in a dim or shaded area.
Power On and Test Exposure: Press the power button (usually top or side). The lens extends automatically. Point the camera at a neutral subject and press the shutter. Wait about 5 seconds for the print to eject—don’t shake it, just let it develop face-up. Checkpoint: The first print is often a dark cover sheet that ejects automatically—that’s normal. The next one will be your first photo.
Open Your First Scratch-Off Adventure: Flip through the adventure book and pick the first scratch-off page. Use a coin or your fingernail to reveal the activity. Read the instructions and take the camera with you on the solo date. Common mistake: scratching off the whole page at once so you lose the surprise. Scratch only the area you plan to do that night.
