Launched as a free app on both major stores, Treasure hunters allows players to hunt for real treasures, scattered around the country.
Displayed on their in-game map, the search areas, containing the treasures, can be narrowed down by using special skills.
Strategically placed checkpoints allows players to earn various bonuses and commercial partners to carry out digital advertising and marketing campaigns.
With a smooth account creation, users can easily jump into the game. Furthermore, they can choose for a customizable avatar during the sign-up process.
In addition to their detailed profile, users can customize their avatar, check overall statistics and participate in challenges to unlock bonuses. Built-in sponsorship allows them to earn Treasure Hunters coins, in-game currency for store use.
Quests are limited in time, with a fixed amount of treasures players can hunt. Some may require a small entry fee. Users can also sort quests to find the best one available near them.
Players can unlock various tools such as compass, binocular, thermometer, etc. In addition to unlocked bonuses at checkpoint or with challenges, players can buy coins, clues and skills to speed up their hunt.
We focused on a top oriented navigation to encourage players to use the app with both hands, trying to limit app usage in cars, on bike, etc. where it can be dangerous. Players can find strategically placed checkpoints to reach in order to get bonuses such as coins/skills/coupons.
Once discovered, chests can be opened using augmented reality. Though, some are not locked, some requires special skills such as keys, codes, that can be hidden elsewhere.
