Why our “Quest with Us” (Nyomozz Velünk) mobile app is unique?

The unique feature of our award-winning application is the AR function, which makes it second to none compared to other scavenger hunt mobile games.
 
The best known app of this kind is probably the Pokémon GO, but playing “Quest With Us” is not just fun, but also learning about the history of the place, a real flow experience, and is therefore classified as a serious game.
 
The game can mostly be played at a specific location using the GPS signal of the mobile device. Internet / WIFI connection is basically needed just for a short time to download the framework app, game data and to load map data. Once these ra done you can disconnect and play the game offline with GPS on. When the game is over you’re recommended to switch it on again, so your results, photos or videos will be uploaded to the server.

More about Augmented Reality

If you have never played with Pokémon GO, it’s hard to imagine that you haven’t heard of this world-famous “mobile game craze” with amazing download records. And this game has been tried by almost all ages, it is still playing today.

Let’s just look at the two cute grandmothers as they play Pokémon. Yeah, “they don’t have a smart phone, but they’ve tried what Pokémon Go that everyone plays with. It’s hard to start, but they couldn’t make a mistake in the end.” (Source Indavideo, Jul 30, 2016)

But what does it have to do with our “Quest with Us” mobile game? Well, just like Pokémon Go, in our game, we tag the image “seen” by the smartphone / tablet camera with some building, statue, and other landmark information, displaying a new layer on the screen. This is done with the augmented reality (AR) function.

Augmented reality adds computer-generated virtual elements to the real physical environment, the world we see with more information. All of this is displayed in real time on the display of modern mobile phones and tablets.

If you are pointing the device’s camera to an object at a particular location – a statue, plaque, or other feature – then the app will detect it, display a new layer on the phone or tablet screen.

In our mobile games this can be a contemporary photo, video, newspaper article detail that can give you a key to progressing in the game, or just providing you pieces of unique information that you can’t find in popular travel guides during a sightseeing tour. And you can only get this experience if you visit the site during the scavenger hunt game.

Well, this makes the “Quest with Us” treasure hunt games unique and thrilling. Hope you will enjoy it.
