## What is Ping Hunt?

Ping Hunt turns the real world into a game.

Create your own outdoor treasure hunts using photos, GPS, and your phone camera. Set up a hunt by visiting real-world locations, taking photos, and saving each spot as a waypoint. Other players then follow the hunt, explore the area, and try to find the exact places you captured.

Instead of simply walking to a map marker, players must look around, compare the real world with the saved photo, and line up their phone camera to match the image. When they find the right spot, they unlock the waypoint and continue the hunt.

Ping Hunt is perfect for:

• City adventures
• Family activities
• Tourist routes
• School trips
• Local events
• Team-building games
• Parks, campuses, and attractions
• Fun walks with friends

Create a private hunt and share it with friends, family, students, or guests. Or explore public hunts created by others and discover places in a more active and playful way.

Whether you are building a mystery trail through your neighbourhood, a sightseeing route for visitors, or a simple outdoor game for your children, Ping Hunt makes it easy to turn real locations into interactive challenges.

How it works

Create a hunt
Add photo waypoints at real locations
Share the hunt or keep it private
Players follow the route
They match each location using their camera
Each correct match unlocks the next step

Ping Hunt is designed to get people outside, moving, exploring, and noticing the details around them.

Create. Explore. Match. Play.
