About the app
Skattejagter is a free iOS app aimed at people who enjoy travel and outdoor navigation. It offers family-oriented treasure hunts that mix mobile gameplay with real-world exploration, turning walks and outings into interactive scavenger experiences suitable for all ages.
How to play
After selecting and purchasing a hunt, players receive step-by-step directions, including compass bearings and distance readings to the next waypoint. As you get closer, the on-screen compass becomes active and the app reveals extra context or occasional quiz questions that can earn bonus points. The clues are designed to lead you from one checkpoint to the next, encouraging discovery of new neighborhoods, parks, and local sights.
Notable capabilities
- Continuous location tracking that runs locally on the device without sending your position to outside servers, preserving privacy.
- On‑screen compass and live distance indicators that update as you move, helping you navigate between checkpoints.
- Occasional quiz prompts and bonus challenges that appear near certain waypoints to make hunts more engaging.
- Family-friendly design and varied difficulty levels so groups of different ages can enjoy the experience.
Privacy and data handling
The app updates your position in real time to provide accurate directions and proximity alerts, but it does not upload those coordinates to external servers. That design keeps location data on your device and reduces data retention concerns.
