iPhone/iPod Touch app!

We've been busy the last few months with the iPhone and iPod Touch.  The result is a new iPhone app that allows you to play tours and treasure hunts!  All directions and clues are shown on the screen as well as pictures.  Now you can create tours and treasure hunts that incorporate images to make your tours more interesting or create more challenging treasure hunts.

A demo video is available on the CellGuided website.

Races!

We've been hard at work to make treasure hunts a more social activity.  Now you can turn any treasure hunt into a race!  CellGuided does all the work of starting the race and tracking who's in what place.  You can also announce each user's position when they call in.

Setting up a race is as easy as selecting an existing hunt and specifying a starting date/time.  There are options to:
  • Allow users to self-register or register thru the website
  • Limit the number of racers
  • Print a flyer with tear-off tabs
  • Announce positions
  • Monitor the race in realtime via the website
Users waiting for a race to start will hear a countdown to the start, ensuring that everyone starts at the same time!  We're really excited to see the races people create!

Route Types

Routes in CellGuided can now have a type.  Currently there are 2 types:
  • Hunt
  • Tour
Hunts take users to one or more locations. At each location the user is given a task which must be solved in order to proceed. This is great for routes like treasure hunts.

Tours take users to one or more locations. The user can freely move from location to location. This is great for routes like historical house tours.

We'll be introducing more types of routes in the future!

What is CellGuided?

Well, we're glad you asked! CellGuided is a modern version of traditional treasure hunts. The difference is use of a mobile phone in order to receive directions and solve clues. And any mobile phone will work!

What does this mean for you? Suppose you want to create a treasure hunt for your next community event, family gathering, or your significant other. Then CellGuided is exactly what you need! You can enter all your information about what to find, where to find it, and how to find it into CellGuided. Then give out the phone number and code for your route. That's it! Your friends, family and colleagues will be impressed by how you got it all to work over a phone. Plus CellGuided will track how long each person takes to complete your routes. Imagine the possibilities for competitions that you organize and host!
