Ping Hunt

Features
Read full description

Ping Hunt turns the real world into a game. Create your own outdoor treasure hunts using photos, GPS, and your phone camera. Set up a hunt by visiting real-world locations, taking photos, and saving each spot as a waypoint. Other players then follow the hunt, explore the area, and try to find the exact places you captured. Instead of simply walking to a map marker, players must look around, compare the real world with the saved photo, and line up their phone camera to match the image. When they find the right spot, they unlock the waypoint and continue the hunt. Ping Hunt is perfect for: • City adventures • Family activities • Tourist routes • School trips • Local events • Team-building games • Parks, campuses, and attractions • Fun walks with friends Create a private hunt and share it with friends, family, students, or guests. Or explore public hunts created by others and discover places in a more active and playful way. Whether you are building a mystery trail through your neighbourhood, a sightseeing route for visitors, or a simple outdoor game for your children, Ping Hunt makes it easy to turn real locations into interactive challenges.
