Challenge	Hidden City Hunts, founded by Adam Lack, was faced with the challenge of creating an interactive scavenger hunt game that could be played on a mobile browser. The goal was to provide users with an engaging and educational experience while exploring new places. The challenge was to develop a system that would allow users to choose a trail, book it, and then play the game on their smartphones.

Solution	The solution was found in Bubble, a no-code platform that allowed Adam to build and launch a fully functional and customizable web app without any limitations. With Bubble, Adam was able to create an app where users could explore scavenger hunt trails, read descriptions, and view public leaderboards for each trail. After signing up, users could book a trail and pay via Stripe, then receive their trail link to play on their smartphone. The game was designed to be played via the phone's browser, eliminating the need for a separate app. When the trail begins, players receive their first cryptic clue and move forward by submitting their answer. The scoring for each game is recorded using both a points and time system. Read More Log in to view content
