Eggtrail turns it into a quest.
Hide QR codes or pin stops on a map. Each one opens a card on a phone: treasure to grab, a question to answer, a monster to fight, a boss locked until your team finds the sword. No app. No sign-up to play.
Your first 5 players are free, no card. Then $1 a player.
A team on one phone counts as one player.

Their hosts put them on the map. Find one near you, take a phone with internet to the venue and join there — free to play, no app to install.

One stop holds treasure. One holds a merchant. Another holds this. Press Fight. Practice only — nothing is scored or saved.
The Guardian is guarding. Strike through the gap.
How it works
Pick a ready-made adventure — every card is already written. About 10 minutes to pick a story, print the sheet and cut the codes. Or write your own by talking to the AI assistant you already use: about 30 minutes, $1 a card, art included.
Print the QR sheet and tuck each code somewhere — a shelf, a plaque, a sheltered post. Or pin each stop on a map and share the trail's link: nothing to print, nothing to replace after rain.
Teams scan a code with the phone's own camera, or walk to a pin and tap it, and the card opens in the browser. One phone per team, however many people are in it. Internet at every stop; a GPS trail also needs location permission and a usable outdoor position.
Inside a trail
The treasure is on your phone. The adventure is outside it.

Before you start
A playable trail on Eggtrail. A QR trail comes with a PDF to print, cut and hide. A GPS trail puts its stops on a map, with nothing to print. Either way: one phone per team, and mobile data or Wi-Fi at every stop — neither mode works offline. A GPS trail also needs location permission and a usable outdoor position. Walk the route once before you start.
One phone per team, and a team counts as one player — however many people are in it. You enter how many players you expect — the one number a trail asks for — and each costs $1.
Your first 5 players are free, no card. Then $1 a player. 25 players come to $25. You pay in Gold Eggs, 1 Gold Egg a player, and they come in packs: 20 for $20, paid once, no subscription. Every story in the library is included. Writing your own costs $1 a card, art included. GPS costs nothing extra. A player is one phone, any number of people.
Only a tick in the terms box. Joining names the team: no app, no email, no password, no date of birth. On a GPS trail the phone shares its location to check a stop, and no player's position is stored. Keeping the team afterwards is optional and asks for one email.
Yes. Trails run in English, Spanish or German, and the story is written in the language you choose.
