Hi Guys

I'm Chris from MandelDuck, I created a couple of bitcoin tipping games on iOS called SaruTobi and Game of Birds.

We have just finished testing a bitcoin geocaching game called "takara" The app lets user drop bitcoin tips anywhere in the world however collectors must visit a location where bitcoin has been dropped to pick it up.

We plan to launch soon as beta testing has finished.

You can checkout a demo video of the app here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpGK1JozTio

Our basic idea is to get people engaged in bitcoin via gaming as it is zero risk and requires no exchange registration, KYC ect

If you have any questions/criticisms or ideas I would be happy to answer them!

Chris

  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinplanter.android No I have not heard of it but thanks for sharing, it seems CoinPlanter is Andoird only which is good because takara is iOS only. Have you used CoinPlanter? It looks like it does not have a map in the app?

  Apparently the coinplanter app has not been updated since 2014 and there is no map integrated in the app. There is a map here https://coinplanter.com but does not appear to give any info about any of the caches or hints how to find them. Would be nice to have an android version of Takara cause this coinplanter app seems a bit rudimentary.

  Seems like you have to go the rough area where bitcoin has been planted and walk/click around until you find it, I have emailed the dev to ask about it. We do plan to make an android version however these kind of apps have a lot of trouble with GPS faking and hacking etc, iOS is much more robust against these kind of exploits.

  The creator of CoinPlanter attended our local Bitcoin meetup group, until he moved a year or two ago. I have not used the app.
