Your whole city is the game board
Who said scavenger hunts are just for kids? MapRaiders turns your entire city into a living hunt: create GPS quests with audio clues, send strangers on adventures through your neighborhood, and solve the mysteries others have hidden for you.
Enter the gameGeocaching is brilliant.
But it's stuck in the past.
Geocaching is a great concept, but it's outdated in execution. Hide physical containers, look up coordinates, make silent entries in a logbook. Perfect for introverted nature lovers, but too rigid for those seeking social interaction, spontaneous creation, and urban adventure.
Existing scavenger hunt apps either target children or require so much preparation that setup takes longer than the fun itself. And they all lack the critical piece: a living community that constantly reinvents quests and responds to other players' discoveries in real time.
What's missing is a scavenger hunt social app where creating and solving are equally important. Where your self-created riddle actually sends real people through the city, and where you watch in real time who follows your clues.
GPS quests that come alive
Quests on the Live Map
Drop GPS waypoints at any location and connect them into a quest route. Other players see your scavenger hunt on the community map and set out to solve it in the real world.
Quest Chains with Stations
Quest chains lead you from station to station and tell the season's story on the way, with card finds glowing along the route. It feels like a real adventure, not just a notification.
Quest Territories
Completed quests strengthen your territory at those GPS points. Quest creators can see who has finished their creation. Clans can organize competitive scavenger hunt events.
Clan Hunt Challenges
Create hunts exclusively for your clan or open them to everyone. Perfect for group events, team-building activities, or spontaneous weekend adventures with friends.
3 steps to your GPS scavenger hunt
Drop quest pins on the map
Open MapRaiders and tap any locations on the live map. Place anchor points at interesting spots, in front of a unique building, at the park fountain, by the unusual street art. Each point becomes the next stop in your hunt.
Record audio clues
At each point, record an audio echo: an encoded message, a riddle, a direction to the next waypoint. Other players hear it automatically when they physically reach that location. Your voice guides the adventure.
Publish and watch it come alive
Publish your quest to the community or just your clan. Watch in real time as players discover your hunt, follow the clues through the city, and complete your creation. Add new hints if someone gets stuck.
For everyone who wants to
rediscover their city
For creatives and storytellers who've always wanted to use their environment as a stage for an experience. MapRaiders gives them the tools, GPS, audio, community, to create genuinely interactive adventures without coding or logistics.
For groups and teams looking for team-building events or group activities that actually connect people. A collaborative scavenger hunt through a neighborhood creates shared memories that no escape room can match.
For city explorers and the curious who want to discover their own city after years of living there. Quests created by others lead to places and perspectives you'd never notice otherwise.
