Strollhunt - Create, publish and play games for the real world

To propose to my girlfriend, I created an Augmented Reality experience in Barcelona; the idea was to discover points of interest in the city but not by being told what to do and where to go (what I call the status quo with travel and local products), but through a combination of game mechanics. After testing it with people I didn't know, and seeing the smile on their face, I decided to give this concept a chance and turn it into a product at first, and now a platform. Strollhunt's mission is to turn cities into playgrounds by enabling anyone to create, publish and play games for the real world, straight from a mobile phone. If you enjoy going on walks in your city, Strollhunt will turn your casual walk into an exciting adventure. The Strollhunt Platform is composed of three elements: - Strollhunt Create: The no code tools for creators to easily create games for the real world, straight from the Strollhunt mobile application. - Strollhunt Publish: The services that allow creators to easily distribute the games created with Strollhunt Create to players on Strollhunt Play. - Strollhunt Play: The Strollhunt mobile application that allows players to find and play games for the real world. We are inspired by real world games like Pokémon Go and Geocaching but target a more mainstream crowd and have designed the app to make users more present in the real world. At launch, Strollhunt will be available to play in a select number of cities (San Francisco, London, Paris and Barcelona), but if you're not living in one of these cities (and it's fair to assume that the majority of the users won't), you will be able to very easily create a new game for your city. V1.0 of our Creator tools are not ready for prime time just yet, but we've included in the app a minimum version to test user's reception (it's far from being a great user experience but it works). What's more exciting, is that soon you'll be able to create and publish a new game for your city straight from the app! Here's a sneak peak for the Product Hunt community: https://drive.google.com/file/d/... We hope you will be interested in creating a game in your city and see Strollhunt as a new canvas to share your love for your city with the world through play. I wrote a more detailed article about Strollhunt on Medium in case you're interested: https://medium.com/@lucasbraunsc...

Looks like amazing project! my friend has leading agency that creates tourist strategies for cities in Ukraine. When Creator tools will be ready hit me up we can launch Strollhunt games in 10 Ukrainian cities.

This is a great app to get to know your city better and discover hidden gems during your walks!

This is something! When I was a kid I remember playing a game similar to this where we design a game and then we find clues searching everywhere in nearby localities. However that was not digital. But this product is built for modern times. I totally love the essence it brings to the table for people. It has multi-industry applications. This could be a game changer for travel and tourism sector. You should work with bigger Giant in Hospitality sector or Government travel boards to get this application travel experience. I would love to know your plans for it.

Some pretty cool work here @maker. Looks fun. How many people can play a single game? Are stats available during/after the game? That would be so sick.

This is a super interesting way to learn new things about a city while having fun with your friends!

Great idea that definitely changes the way you navigate through cities that you are visiting. Both as a part of a planned trip (a game with your friends) or as a tool for when you don't want to prepare a visit but still want to discover it with new friends in a funny way. It helps discovering a city, or those usual hidden jewels, also making new friends...and probably a great idea for restaurants, venues to get some visibility as well! Godspeed to the creators!

YES!!! We have been publishing scavenger hunt games for new medical students in Nicosia, Cyprus for a few years, slowly moving from paper based ones to a dynamic website experience. This might just be what it takes. Installed, eagerly awaiting 1.0.

looks like an amazing app to discover cities! especially when you are tired of going from one point straight to another. when is the Asia expansion pack coming?

Tried it and loved it. Can’t wait to travel again and try in other cities. The London experience is 👍
