## What is NFC Treasure Hunt?

Treasure hunts are an awesome way to have some fun with family members, couples with an anniversary coming up, and even company events. You've probably played a Treasure Hunt where you follow clues written on pieces of paper that lead you to the next clue. And so on until you find the last clue with the treasure at the end.

Now you can create even more entertaining Treasure Hunts using only NFC tags and this app!

Use Near-field Communication(NFC) tags to create your own "Markers", that when scanned by the Players, reveal the clue you left behind for them. Find them all to win!

This app helps guide you through and you'll easily be creating your very own Treasure Hunts within minutes.

Any Player with this app downloaded running iOS11 or later can SCAN and play.

### 5/5 — Let the hunt begin!

*2024-10-16*

This is a great app! For those looking to make an exciting game. I will say you do need familiarity with NFC tags to use this. Over all super easy and it does have a tutorial. I’m making a scavenger hunt for my best friend’s birthday and instead of using paper for clues this app brings it to the 21st century. Over all really awesome. Thank you to the creator this was just what I was looking for.

### 2/5 — Nice features, flaws in the app

*2023-05-31*

Every time I save my work, all the clues get mixed up. The order in which I program them to be in never stays. So, the next nfc that is supposed to be scanned is the wrong one.
