GOAL

Idea

Pre presentation

The games idea is to create adventure to everyday life. No matter where you are or what time of day or year it is, you can use Treasure Hunt. Just take your phone and push “New goal”. Get your feet on move and at the same time learn basic usage of coordinates on this location-based game. You get just your current coordinates and the coordinates of your goal. Finding the goal will give you XP needed to get to higher levels. On higher levels the distance grow.

Motivation

Well, at first our greatest motivation was to create at least something, that would be usefull to anybody. We invented that it could be some kind of location based game, and we started to develop the idea. We wanted to make something different and so the coordinates came in. Rest of the App was quite easily invented. There was so many ideas to add, but we desided to get the basics to work first and then add functionalities if we'd have time. We are that kind of type people, that either we do something well, or we don't do it at all.
