Very archaic

No explaining how to use this app. It’s super archaic and needs a MASSIVE update. Should not have to enter language every time. Should not have to enter distance length desired every time. No option of feet and inches. Unfortunate it’s so unhelpful.

Vielleicht

Vieles ist mir (noch?) völlig unklar! Das Spielen hat irgendwann dann doch Spaß gemacht. Aber z. B.: Obwohl ich die finalen Koordinaten erhalten und die Dose gefunden habe, kann ich Wherigo nicht beenden; mir wird immer wieder „Fortsetzen” angeboten.

FAQ

What is Wherigo?

Wherigo is a platform for GPS-enabled adventures in the real world. Users can download and play 'cartridges' which are essentially interactive stories that guide them to specific physical locations using their device's GPS.

How do I get cartridges?

You can download cartridges for free directly from the official Wherigo™ website within the app. Alternatively, you can download them to your computer and transfer them to the app via iTunes or by dragging and dropping .gws files.

Do the cartridges expire?

No, cartridges are retained for as long as you need them and do not expire. The time estimates provided are for expected playing time.

What devices are compatible?

The app is designed for iPhone. When downloading cartridges, it's recommended to select 'PocketPC' as the device for best results, though any device should generally work.

What kind of experiences can I have?

You can experience GPS-enabled adventures where you navigate to real-world locations to interact with virtual objects and characters. It's like a digital scavenger hunt or an interactive story unfolding in your surroundings.
