Random Secret (Q&A) Source:
GET STARTED | Start by logging in. Click [Play Live] to find secrets near you now. Click [Explore] to explore any community by map. |
GPS/LOCATION SERVICES | Must be turned on to detect secrets. Learn How |
HOW | Explore the Map to find secrets. When in Live Mode, the game will show you pictures of any secrets nearby (usually within about 100 feet). Click a secret to answer it's question. Get points for correct answers. |
CREATE | Add your own secrets to the game at any time. Secrets are a combination of a picture, a question and an answer. When creating a secret, the answer must not be in the picture.
Find the answer first, then take a picture of something nearby and add your question. |
GPS FOR PHOTOS | The current location is attached to your photo. Always take the photo while you are on-site, never at home, as you don't want people visiting you! |
WHAT MAKES A GOOD QUESTION AND ANSWER? | Look around and find something that has letters and/or numbers, or something that can be described with a single word or two.
Be sneaky. Zoom in on words to keep the answer out of the picture. The answer must be visible nearby the picture location.
NOTE: You can supply multiple (comma-separated) answers. NOTE: The secret object must be permanent - ask yourself if the object will not be there in a few weeks. If so, don't use it as the secret. Examples of answers: House numbers. Street numbers. Words on signs. Statues, sculptures and permanent artwork. Fixtures like meters. Things with serial numbers. Words just out of sight in your picture. |
POINTS | There is a range of points for secrets from 10 to 50. If the answer is simple, give your question 10 points. Otherwise, give suitable points based on complexity. |
WHY ZOOM NOT CENTERED | When you click or double click the map, the centerpoint will be the middle GeoHash, often surrounded by its neighbours. |
WHAT ARE GEOHASHES? | GeoHashes are rectangular areas on a map that contain secrets. They are similar to geofences. We use geohashes of approximately 30 metres in live mode, except if within a mall or inside area, in which case we use 150 metres (since GPS doesn't work well inside). |
EXAMPLES OF REAL QUESTIONS? | Use the map and visit the Toronto Ontario area. Examine the secrets to get a sense of the questions. |
INVOLVE YOUR BUSINESS | Add a picture that is next to your business along with an engaging question to get people to come into your premises. |
Do create your own new secrets in your community - this encourages others to participate frequently. Do involve your business with a photo and question that entices people to come into your store or restaurant.
DON'TS
Don't create secrets from home - all pictures are automatically encoded with your current location, so you don't want people to come to your front door to look for your secret.
