Gadgets & Inventory

Gadgets are power-ups that you can send to rival teams. When a team receives a gadget, a visual effect takes over their screen — an explosion, a shower of hearts, a cracked screen, and more. They’re temporary, harmless, and add a competitive twist to the game.

LoveHearts rain down across the screen
FireworksFireworks burst on screen
Broken ScreenThe screen appears shattered with cracking sounds
Inverted ScreenThe display flips upside down

All effects last a few seconds and then disappear. They don’t affect your score or progress — they’re just for fun (and distraction).

MethodHow it works
Challenge rewardComplete a challenge that has a gadget as a prize
Walking distanceWalk a certain distance (tracked by GPS) to unlock a gadget
AR pickupFind and collect a 3D gadget floating in augmented reality
  1. Tap the Gadgets tab on the navigation bar
  2. You’ll see your gadgets with icons and remaining quantities
  3. Tap the gadget you want to send
  4. Choose the target team from the list
  5. Confirm

The effect appears on their screen immediately. Your quantity for that gadget decreases by one.

Some events include collectible items — keys, tokens, artifacts, or custom objects the organizer defined. These are different from gadgets: you collect them, but you don’t send them to other teams.

Items appear in the Inventory tab on the navigation bar.

  • Complete a challenge that awards an item
  • Pick up a 3D object in AR space
  • Walk a configured GPS distance

Some challenges require you to have specific items before they’ll activate. If you try to start one of those challenges without the right items, a message tells you what you’re missing.

Items can also be part of the event’s storyline — the organizer uses them to create scavenger hunt mechanics where you must find certain things before unlocking the next phase.

The Inventory screen also lets you take notes and photos during the event. Tap the camera icon to capture a photo for your own reference — useful for remembering clues or recording things you see along the way.
