I have been building QuestSpot (https://www.questspot.co), a mobile scavenger hunt game. When you start a hunt, an AI picks a set of real places and writes a cryptic riddle about each one, never naming it. No two players get the same hunt. You work out where each place is from the riddle, and if you are nearby, you walk there and your phone confirms you are standing in the right spot. You can play from anywhere. Pick a hunt in your own neighbourhood or in a city on another continent and solve it from your couch. Every spot you crack mints a collectible made just for that place: a fridge magnet, a postal stamp, or if you are lucky, a trading card. Visit every spot in a hunt in person and the game writes you a sea shanty about the places you walked. When a riddle has you stumped, there is a sidekick you can talk to. It will nudge you without handing over the answer, and arguing with it is half the fun. You earn coins along the way that you can spend or trade with other players. You can also race a friend through the same set of spots, hunt together as a crew, or set up your own hunt with a prize for whoever finishes first. It is not in the app stores yet. If this sounds like your kind of afternoon, join the waitlist on the site and I will personally get you set up on your phone and walk you through your first hunt. Not ready to sign up? I would still like to hear what you think. What would make you play, what sounds off, what would you want from a game like this? Comments here are great, and there is a feedback form on the site if you would rather write privately.   submitted by   /u/MylarSome [link]   [comments]
