Beacon Hunt

About Beacon Hunt Android App

Designed for use with Estimote Beacons (http://www.estimote.com), Beacon Hunt will help you wow the neighbors and excite your customers by making clever use of beacons for hunts.

Beacon Hunts can be conducted either online with a connected hunt driven by push notifications or in offline mode, with individual finds timed and logged when the user is online.

Create an awesome Easter Egg Hunt by concealing a beacon inside a plastic egg and hiding it.

Online hunt (Connected mode):
- Build your hunt by creating a six-character PIN for use by the guests.
- Send this PIN via email from within the app.
- Guests and customers join this 'gated' hunt by inputting the proper PIN and can search for the beacons with the app.
- If a guest comes within a meter of the beacon, a button appears and they can 'claim' the beacon - Mint, Blueberry, or Ice color by pushing the appropriate button.
- A push notification is sent to the members of the hunt when a beacon is 'claimed'.
- Enhance the hunt by adding prizes of your own if a beacon is found.

Offline hunt (Orienteering mode):
- The app requests that a user inputs a name or handle for tracking.
- The hunt can begin! A timer starts, and when a user finds a beacon and presses the 'claim' button, the find is logged and will appear when the user is back online.
- The user has access to the Lost and Found and Trophies sections which log all finds, and your own finds, respectively.

Great for Afikomen searches, scavenger hunts, egg hunts, and just for fun both indoors and outdoors. Gamify your brick-and-mortar store's shopping experience, enhance a party, and make life up close and personal with Estimote beacons!
