AR scavenger hunts for real streets

Walk your city.
Follow the spark.

Find a hunt, play the first 3 stops free on standard routes, and let the AR compass turn an ordinary walk into a small bit of magic.

Find a hunt

City Seekers is a mobile-based AR Scavenger Hunt. You pick a city, follow a trail of written clues to real-world landmarks, and use GPS plus an Augmented Reality (AR) compass overlay to navigate — turn your phone toward the next stop and a guidance arrow floats over the live camera feed. At the end of any hunt, you'll find history, trivia, or a new Curiositter — one of the collectible creatures you catch as you explore.

How it works

Pick a hunt

Browse hunts by city or neighborhood. Each one is a continuous walk of 5 to 40+ stops.

Solve the clue

Every stop gives you a short puzzle pointing at a specific spot — a mural, a plaque, a particular stairwell.

Walk there

GPS confirms when you've arrived. Stuck? Text hints, an AR compass, and a map unlock in escalating order.

Unlock the story

Each arrival reveals more of the route, and every finished hunt leaves you with history, trivia, or a new Curiositter.

Difficulty levels

Hunt difficulty controls how much navigation help is available while you solve clues. Tap an Easy, Medium, or Hard tag for a quick explanation.

Easy

Relaxed exploring

Map and AR compass guidance are available whenever you want them. Best for families, visitors, and first-time players.

Medium

A clue-first walk

The map remains available, but the AR compass only unlocks once you are within 1 mile of the next stop.

Hard

Puzzle-first mode

No map shortcut appears during play, and the AR compass waits until you are within ½ mile of the target.

What's the AR part?

AR stands for Augmented Reality — digital guidance painted on top of the real world.

Live camera view

When you tap a stop, the rear camera turns on and an Augmented Reality compass arrow overlays the live view, pointing you toward the next clue. A gentle "you're close" beep gets louder as you approach, and a treasure-chest animation pops out of the ground when you arrive — a Curiositter leaps out of the chest and joins your collection. The kind of thing you'll walk an extra block to see again.

Meet the Curiositters

Every stop you crack releases a magical creature called a Curiositter. There are dozens to find.

Arrive at a stop and the chest pops out of the ground — a Curiositter leaps out and joins your Bestiary. Common, uncommon, rare, and legendary. Each one's lore stays locked until you've found it.

Browse the Bestiary

Dozens of Curiositters to find — some very rare.

Three flavors of hunt

Every hunt belongs to one of three formats. Pick the one that fits your day.

Stuck on a stop?

Clue A short, atmospheric puzzle pointing at the spot.
Hint 1 A creative nudge — thematic or sensory, no street name yet.
Hint 2 More grounded: a neighborhood, a landmark, cross-streets.
AR compass An on-screen arrow pointing at the target as you walk.
Map The exact location pinned. The puzzle is over — just go.
