Hello Product Hunt 👋 I'm thrilled to announce the official release of my latest sideproject. The MVP for Scavengar was built for the Product Hunt Global Hackathon that took place last year. I've submitted it to the Augmented Reality Category where it was awarded with the first place. From there on I kept refining the concept, polishing the look and feel while adding a couple new ideas. I wanted to make sure that everyone can not only experience hunts but also create their own content. That's why I integrated a hunt editor that allows you to craft your own hunts, to share them with the world. If there is no hunt available in your city I invite you to try out this feature. Within a hunt you will be able to collect a variety of items, that realistically reflect their surroundings and gather points to win the game. A more sophisticated feature lies in the tasks and riddles you can solve. Powered by computer vision and machine learning, you’ll need to interact more with the “real” world to truly master the enigmas. I.e., finding objects, colors or obstacles within a certain time frame, or answering questions about the memorial which is located in the park nearby. Special thanks go out to Stefan Wirth for hooking me up with the backend and my friends Marc and Alex as well as lots of other people for their support! 😘 Scavengar was built natively in Swift and is powered by ARKit, SceneKit and CoreML. It runs on iOS 11.4 upwards and on iPhone 6S or better. I'm really excited to see want kind of hunts you will create and look forward to your feedback! Happy hunting Arthur

@arthurschiller_ this looks to be a really cool app. I’m setting up for a weekend event and would like to use your app as our featured Scavenger hunt game. The event usually has around 400 families and typically 50-100 people will participate. Are there any limitations to how many people can play one game at a time? My plan is to create a specific hunt on Friday and allow participants to play during the weekend. Is there a way to see standings or scores of all those that are participating? Thanks in advance for your response.

@wholelifeorl great to see you like the app and want to use Scavengar for your event. Even if all 400 families participate in your scavenger hunt, it will work perfectly fine, so nothing is standing in the way! There are quite a lot of premium features like marker-based localization, analytics dashboard, custom 3D-asset-integration, custom branding, and the list goes on... However, for an implementation today, that might come a bit too short notice. Give us a shout at hello@scavengar.world and we can hop on a call to discuss this further, maybe even before you set them up today.

Looks like a great product! Wish I could try it out but I'm on Android 😞. Is there any hope for AR for non-iphone users? (although there's probably like 5 of us).

@dbrereton As I've mainly worked on Scavengar by myself and in my sparetime I didn't have the capacity yet to work on an Android Version as well. I would love to provide one but of course there would need to be enough request. For the moment I'm really sorry. Maybe you can try it out on a friends phone? I purposely didn't use something like Unity for the development as I wanted provide a really smooth feeling, native iOS UI experience.

Hey Arthur, This is AMAZING! I've never really been a fan of AR apps or services, but this concept is on a whole different level. I've just finished the tutorial hunt, and my head is already bursting with ideas on how to use Scavengar in the future. Seriously, it's fabulous! The thing I love the most about it is the possibility to use it as some sort of local guide across cool places in a given city, for example. I mean, it should work, right? I'll definitely try it this weekend and update you on the results. :) Just imagine visiting a new place and joining a hunt across its cultural legacy... Or the best local pubs. Man, I really hope this app gets around the world, it would be a blast!

@mirimesque Thanks so much Ivan and glad you enjoy it! 😊 Looking forward to hear more about your experience with it! And yes – exactly that was one of the main usecases I had in mind when developing Scavengar. In the long run I imagine it as kind of a tool where people can share nice walks or anecdotes around places they like (with a personal touch added on top) or guided tours along interesting places, historic sights, and so on… I'm also working on removing some of the friction from the initial localization process. The app will then be able to automatically figure out you real world position with enough precision so you can dive straight in to the hunting.
