An entertaining real-world game that anyone can play by printing fun colorful eggs with QR codes on them and hiding them around a house or any location. Each code is unique and when scanned the player collects points, raffle tickets, candy, or prizes. Be careful as there are bad eggs as well that will take points off. Once you scan the start egg you’ll have a specific amount of time to find as many as you can. When the timer ends click your basket to see what you have collected.
