## What is TAGS?

Everyone has played this game. You spot a plate from somewhere far away, you call it out, and for the rest of the drive you are watching every car that passes. TAGS keeps score.

Tap a state when you see it. The tile turns over to that state's real artwork, and it is yours.

RARITY THAT KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE

Not every plate is worth the same. TAGS rates each one from common up to mythic using real vehicle registration figures and where you actually are, so a New Jersey plate is ordinary around Newark and a genuine find out in California. Six places are always mythic, because you cannot drive to any of them: Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. One more mythic slot goes to whichever state is hardest to see from where you are, so it changes as you travel.

A plate keeps whatever it was worth the moment you called it. Driving on later never changes what an earlier find scored.

TRIPS AND BOOKS

A trip is one drive. You give it a start and a destination, and it scores what you spot on the way. A book never ends. It is the one you keep in the car and fill in over years. Trips can be folded into a book when they are done, so a drive counts once and lives in both.

Each trip picks how it scores. Classic gives a point per state however many times you see it. Weighted pays more for plates from far away from your route. Unlimited counts every single sighting.

EVERYONE IN THE CAR

Each person opens TAGS on their own phone. One of you starts a party, the rest join over the local network, and from then on the same drive is scored on every phone, with a small colored circle on each tile showing who called it. No accounts, and no cell signal needed.

You can also share a book through iCloud with people who are not in the car, and fill it in together over years.

CALL THEM OUT INSTEAD

Passengers can say the states out loud rather than tapping. Voice mode keeps listening, so a whole stretch of road can go by without anyone picking up a phone. Siri works too.

WHERE YOU WERE

The Trail maps the spot where you found each plate, so a finished trip is a record of the drive and not just a number. There is a home screen widget, a lookup that names a plate from a description, historical plates going back decades, and a fact about almost every one.

WHAT TAGS DOES NOT DO

No accounts. No advertising. No analytics, and no tracking of any kind. What you collect stays on your phone and in your own iCloud, because there is no TAGS server to put it on.

Never play while driving. TAGS is for passengers, or for the driver once the car is parked.
