Build your own treasure hunt

Hide targets outdoors and send the children off. They watch themselves walk across the map — and the map may be one you drew yourself.

🎯Search & find

Targets with a riddle or a QR code, surprises when one is found, and a sonar tick that quickens the closer you get.

👻The pursuer

Optional: it walks towards you and blocks collecting while it stands there. Brisk walking is always enough — nobody should be running with their eyes on a phone.

🗺️On any map

Hand-drawn, historical, photographed. Your real GPS position travels across that very picture.

What it looks like

The map during a round: targets as pins, the tally along the top,
                the pursuer as a glowing ghost.
On the map: what has been found, what is still open — and where the pursuer is standing.
Camera view of a sunlit forest track with labels floating over it,
                naming targets and their distance.
In AR the targets hang in the camera view, with direction and distance.
AR view at a lake shore: the pursuer is 71 metres away and the next
                target lies behind you.
71 metres. Walking briskly is enough — nobody should run.
A find announced in the middle of the AR view: congratulations,
                ten points, the target was called Parkplan.
Found: points, the name of the target — and on to the next one.
A round's closing card: 105 points, 9 of 9 targets, 26 minutes,
                1980 steps.
At the end: targets, time and steps — and your best run so far.
The summary of a round played: 40 points, 4 of 4 targets, and every
                find with the time it happened.
Every round stays — each find with the time it happened.
A list of your own hunts with thumbnails and a button to build a new
                one.
Your hunts: open them, edit them, send them.
A hunt's settings: map or AR, and sliders for the pursuer's speed,
                head start and lives.
You set the rules: with a map or AR alone, and how merciful the pursuer is.

How you build a hunt

  1. Photograph a map, pick one from your gallery, or simply frame a section of a live map.
  2. Set a few points whose real position you know — with a framed section that step disappears entirely.
  3. Hide the targets: by hand, or from suggestions of things already standing out there.
  4. Send the map as a file — and set off.

What else is in it

Not only for playing

🎉Celebrations

A birthday party, a company event or a wedding party: one group, one occasion, fun in front.

🎒Groups out and about

A school trip or a youth camp: discovering a place instead of just being told about it.

🧭A place to explore

City marketing, a holiday region or an open-air museum: not one event, but many visitors, again and again.
