Hello ProductHunt! Creator here. My friends & I love Pokemon Go & wanted to figure out a way to reward players & local businesses for taking a friendly stance toward Pokemon players. Thanks for upvoting! I'm off to catch some more Eevees (working on that last Eeveelution, Jolteon!)

Fundraising Academy by Finta

Wow! This is hustle and timing right here. @James Futhey, how will you activate the lures at these locations if your not there in person?

@thesiskar Thanks for the kind words! You will need to visit the business in person, for sure, to claim the reward and deploy the lure.

Hunt Pokemon

Just a quick question. I haven't played the game yet but wouldn't it make more sense for a business owner just to download the Pokemon go app and put the lure there themselves?

@sabrisjourney When I built this, registrations were locked to new users (a local business owner complained she couldn't sign up for an account). Probably due to obvious server scaling issues. Even though this might not be true, I think something like this could create a mutually beneficial ecosystem for players and local businesses looking for a bump in foot traffic. Circle of life, y'all!

“Partnering” with 7 Eleven to add thousands of locations. All of US & Canada should be covered. Free Small Slurpie's for everyone!

Where can I find an iPhone 7?

@futhey but that "partnership" is only good for 7/11 Day (today), right? ;)

@thetylerhayes Yes. Hopefully this just accelerates adoption and makes the experience better for new users today.

I'll put out the word in the Minneapolis/Twin Cities market. Have some friends that do marketing for local tap rooms. Could be a fun addition to the beer.

@futhey OK, I'll keep you posted. I may even float this by the Chamber for its members.

@futhey Hey James. I'm planning on giving a short lunch presentation to one of the Minneapolis area Chambers next week. Guess the word got out to the Minneapolis Star Tribune based on the call I just got. I'll give you guys a mention if they call asking for more info.
