I'm launching a GPS dragon treasure hunt game in few days. Want to be early and help shape it?
Hey Product Hunt fam!
I'm a solo maker and in just a few days I'll be launching TatsuVault here – a mobile game (Currently PWA) that turns your real city/neighborhood into a living adventure map.Think: Pokémon GO vibes mixed with geocaching and light dragon-raising RPG (in development).
Here´s what you can do right now in TatsuVault:
Hatch and raise mythical dragons (Tatsuki) by exploring outside
Drop encrypted treasures at any GPS spot (excluding restricted ones) for others to find
Jump into spontaneous Battle Drops when creatures appear on the live map
Create multi-location treasure hunts with clues and stories for friends or the community
100% free to play/ explore and hunts – no paywall on the core fun
I've noticed that most geocaching apps focus on just one or two features, but the whole real-world location gaming trend is still just getting started. So I built TatsuVault to combine the best of geocaching with real gaming elements — creating communities, encouraging exploration, and bringing fresh ways for influencers, businesses, and creators to interact with their audiences. In short: I turned the entire world into a living game. Right now the app is already playable at tatsuvault.app (early version).I'd love your help before the official Product Hunt launch:
Try it out on one short walk or toggle virtual mode and explore from home and tell me what you think
Which city are you in?
What change feature would you love to see?
Any bugs, ideas, or suggestions?
If you like location-based games, dragons, treasure hunting, or just turning daily walks into mini-quests – drop a comment below! Even if you don't try it yet, just say hi and tell me what would make you actually go outside and play
?
Super excited (and a bit nervous) to share this with you all. Thanks for any feedback – it really helps a solo dev!

If nothing else is interesting.. imagine you´re away from home, from your loved ones on a day that you supposed to be together.. You use TatsuVault and give a unique surrprice to anyone you want, anywhere in the world by dropping private drop at their exact, near or special location. Only this person or group can unlock it and see the content.
And the beauty of it is, you don´t need paid membership for that.
This is something that made me think, why not.. It´s social, It´s active .. It´s useful in many ways you can imagine.
