City Seekers

Private venture

A location-based mobile scavenger hunt product where city walks become clue-driven browser adventures.

Story

What this project is really about

City Seekers turns a city walk into a structured treasure hunt. The product is built around authored stops, safe public destinations, geofenced arrival checks, and a clue layer that can sit over a live camera feed without pretending to be full 3D AR. The important design work is not only the interface; it is the pacing of a real walk, the safety of where a group can stand, and the satisfaction of a final stop that feels worth the route.

The source reads like a product that cares about field operations: hunt authoring, destination locks, store-listing material, payment rules, smoke tests, and production checklists all live close to the app. Denver is the first city, but the structure is meant to scale to repeatable city content.
