PURPOSE | To get people (walk-in traffic) to physically come to your location. It's like "Pokemon Go" for business, using things hidden away in plain sight as scavenger hunt items. |
SECRETS | Secrets are things found in plain sight in your store or at your booth. To get people to come into your location, you need to add a photograph of something physically near the secret. It can be on a table or on your wall or next to your cash register - something that will be there throughout the life of the game. |
GET STARTED | Start by registering your business. |
ADD YOUR SECRET | Decide what your secret is and take a picture of something close to it.
Don't include the secret in the picture. Add a question about the secret and add the answer.
For example, if your secret is a word on a sign, you can take a picture of part of the sign and the challenge would be to answer with the last word on that sign.
But remember this: the image must be of something within eyesight of the secret. |
GEO TAGGING | Your image will be automatically tagged with its GPS location. It's actually called a GEOHASH, and it usually has a resolution of perhaps 10-20 metres. |
ADD YOUR PRIZE | Prizes attract customers. Since you are part of a community of merchants, your prize becomes part of the prize pool. |
External Images | External images in your extended description must be hosted on a secure (HTTPS) server. |
PREPARE EARLY | If you are participating in a short event, figure out your secret early. |
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.
