TerraHunt

Turn a city into a game board. And colleagues into a team that hunts for treasure, cracks ciphers and scores points together.

TerraHunt is a gaming platform by Brno-based Z-AGENCY for adventure games and corporate team building. It links real places with digital tasks: players head out into the streets or into nature, look for checkpoints and answer questions together. The same app also guides them through a story game or a virtual escape room. For TerraHunt (formerly Treasure Hunt), we developed native apps for Android and iOS. On a phone or tablet, players have the map, instructions, time and score at hand. The technology helps run the game, so the team can focus on what matters: agreeing on a strategy, solving the next task and enjoying the shared experience.

Find a game and head out for the experience

A historic town center, a castle park or an adventure from the comfort of home. The game overview helps players choose an experience by setting and language. Outdoor games are sorted by distance, so players can quickly find what they can do nearby.

  • Outdoor and virtual games in one place.
  • Filters by language, setting and category.
  • Join a private game with a QR code or an access code.

The map shows the treasures. The team works out the strategy.

In Treasure Hunt, players see checkpoints placed around the area on a map. They decide for themselves where to go and in what order to complete the tasks. GPS links the game map to the real location, and the app keeps track of the time and the points earned.

  • A game map showing the player's position and the treasures.
  • Players choose their own route and order of checkpoints.
  • Live score and team rankings during the game.

A story the team works through together

Each task moves the game forward. Text, images and questions draw players into the story and leave room for teamwork. Besides answers, the game can include photo tasks; photos taken during the event are saved to that game's gallery.

  • Questions and tasks enriched with a story and images.
  • Photos as answers to selected tasks.
  • Team photos can be taken during play as well.

Out in the field or at home. Ready for a weak signal.

On the game page, players can read the rules and browse accompanying content before the start. They can download the game data in advance to play offline. Virtual mode then unlocks the questions one by one, without searching for checkpoints out in the field.

  • Game description, photos and video before the start.
  • Game data download in case the connection drops.
  • Virtual escape rooms and quizzes to play at home or in the office.

Mobile apps, a shared experience

Mobile apps, a shared experience

At a corporate event, a team can play on a loaned tablet; in a self-guided game, on their own phone. Native apps for both mobile platforms bring the same gameplay to different devices and situations — from treasure hunts in the city to solving puzzles together remotely.

Inside the app

On tablets too

“The mixedApps development team did a great job. The Treasure Hunt app for Android works exactly the way we needed. The corporate program we use it for is currently one of our best sellers, and more than a thousand satisfied clients took part in it over the course of a year. We look forward to a long-term partnership.”
