What is an AR treasure hunt?
It basically works like in the good old days: Look for clues or search for items as a group or in teams to advance and eventually finish the game.
AR comes into place to enhance the storytelling experience of the treasure hunt. Instead of relying on written notes to tell the story, AR turns this into an interactive experience by inducing digital item into the adventure.
