## What is The Happy Stone?

Beautiful Happy Stones are hidden everywhere. Hand-painted by thousands of artists. Ready to be found.

Get out there. Walk unknown paths, discover hidden spots and take in views you would never have seen if you'd stayed home. Every treasure on the map opens a new adventure.

DISCOVER the world around you. Open the treasure map and find Happy Stones hidden in parks, forests, on beaches and places you've never been before.

SCAN & REVEAL the story behind every treasure. Who painted it? How many countries has it passed through? How far has it traveled?

COMPETE for the top. Who finds the most treasures? Who spreads the most? Join the monthly leaderboard and daily challenges.

PAINT your own Happy Stones. Register them with a QR code and follow their journey live on the treasure map.

GET NOTIFIED the moment your treasure is found — and see where the adventure takes it next. Already discovered in Japan and the Canary Islands.

Every treasure has a story. What will yours be?

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 (46) — 2026-08-08

We've given the leaderboard a fresh look: four leagues (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond) with cosy group names, real monthly promotion, and a special title for each month's top Diamond stone hunter. Hiding a stone now lets you fine-tune the pin on a map before confirming. Sharing a find now always includes your message, not just the photo. Plus small text fixes and improvements throughout.
