Turn every round into a treasure hunt. gVault is a collecting game for golfers. Point your camera at any golf ball you find, and gVault reads the model, grades its condition, and assigns it a rarity tier — from everyday Commons to the Mythics fewer than five people own. Every find lands in your personal vault. SCAN & IDENTIFY On-device AI reads the printing on the ball and judges its condition as Mint, Ok, or Poor. No typing, no guessing — just point and scan. BUILD YOUR VAULT Every ball you scan is displayed by rarity in your own vault. Locked slots show what you haven't found yet, turning the whole catalog into a checklist worth chasing. Re-find a ball to level it up and keep its best-ever condition. EARN & SPEND Rare finds pay out coins. Complete daily and weekly quests for more. Spend them in the shop on animations for your 3D avatar — idle loops, dances, and emotes, with fresh deals every day. CLIMB THE RANKINGS Every find grows your Account XP. Compare your collector level against players worldwide on the global leaderboard. COLLECT BADGES Earn permanent badges for collection milestones, scanning streaks, and seasonal events all the way through 2027. Grab your phone, hit the course, and start your legend. Your rarest find is still out there.
