[OSM-talk] Munzee - a sort of QR scavenger hunt, uses OSM

[Ben Pollinger]

Hello all,

I've not seen this mentioned on the list (I googled
site:lists.openstreetmap.org munzee)

Munzee  - http://www.munzee.com/ - a sort of scavenger hunt using QR
codes (and recently NFC tags) played with a smartphone app.

They have a map to show locations of munzees (i.e. the QR codes or NFC
tags) - http://www.munzee.com/map - which defaults to Google map view
but has options for OSM (mapnik) and Cycle (OpenCycleMap).

I've been playing with this for a few days and it has some addictive
potential! Some folk are hiding hundreds of these things under my
nose!

Beware:  if you have an obsessive tendency to record missing POIs
(particularly on your phone), you may be drawn in to 'capturing' (and
'deploying') munzees too...

Regards,
Ben
