Treasure hunt template app

A treasure hunt app template that Timescope offers to tourist sites: any museum, town or nature park can dress it in its own colours.

The hunt revolves around points of interest that visitors are encouraged to seek out, each with a short description. It works a bit like an audio guide, though not always with audio. Most stops are multimedia: videos, augmented reality, immersive scenes to try with a phone, or quizzes whose answers are found on site, on an information panel or in the landscape. Each of these is a block. Some come with every app, and each client picks the others.

So the app had to be modular, with every block working whatever the others around it, and easy to brand. One version has an industrial theme, another a medieval one, another is very modern and close to street art. That took a kind of headless design system: components that carry the structure and the behaviour but no visual identity, so each client’s theme can dress them without breaking anything.
