## What is Scavenger Quest?

Are you tired of the "guilt" of letting your kids stare at a screen... but honestly, keeping up with their endless energy is exhausting!
Born from the real struggles of parents, this magical app turns your everyday surroundings into an exciting playground. Boring days at home or the usual park quickly transform into a "treasure hunt".

Handing over the phone for YouTube just to get some quiet time... but lacking the stamina to run around all weekend. This app was created to solve that exact dilemma.
Instead of sitting and staring at a screen, kids use the smartphone camera to walk around and explore the real world! Parents just set the targets, and kids enthusiastically search for them. It saves parents' energy while nurturing children's observation and imagination. A new kind of active, educational game.

How to play is very simple! (Play in pairs: parent & child, or siblings)

[Hider (Parent)] Take 3 photos of "targets" in your current location!

[Seeker (Child)] Take the phone, walk around, and find the matching items!

[Battle] Find all 3, and a monster appears on the screen!

[Catch] Defeat and catch the monster with your ally!

Exciting Monster Encyclopedia
Caught monsters are recorded in your very own "Magic Grimoire".

100 types of monsters! Exciting gacha elements with rarity levels (Stars 1 to 5).

Authentic 3D encyclopedia where pages flip like a real book!

Simple, intuitive design for preschoolers and toddlers who can't read yet.

Premium version (paid) removes ads and powers up to 151 monsters!

Recommended for:

Turning regular weekend "home time" into a special adventure

Adding a fun twist to the usual park routine

A great mission game for outings to the zoo, aquarium, or shopping mall

Indoor play on rainy days, or as a communication tool for siblings and friends

[Message from the Developer]
The core system and the floating mascot on the top screen were designed by my 1st-grade son. It started from a child's simple idea, "Wouldn't a game like this be fun?", and became a treasure we built together.
We hope this app brings more smiles to families worldwide, while giving parents a well-deserved little breather!
