Hunting for food and treasure satisfy our primal instincts! This is the reason Treasure Hunt is a game that instantly excites all of us alike: be it energetic and active children, frivolous and chivalrous young men and women, or grave and serious looking senior citizens. From children parties to modern versions like:

Geocaching and Geodashing, a game of well-organized Treasure Hunt never loses its charm.
With Zoment, Treasure Hunt for adults can become even more stimulating and challenging. Unlike Geocaching or its better-known predecessor Letterboxing, you do not need to hide boxes with clues all over the region you want participants to cover when you play Treasure Hunt using Zoment.
The drawback of boxes with clues have been that they can easily get destroyed or lost disrupting the game for participants. The reason of damage could be excessive rain, fire in forests, strong winds or even an animal who decides to chew it around and check if it was edible. Occasionally, people or monkeys passing the place would become interested in the box, pick it up, play with it and throw it elsewhere. It is difficult to guard letterboxes or caches all the time.
With Zoment, your clues will never get lost. They safely reach the smart phones of the participants just when they reach the right location.
So, all you have to do is to set who all will receive clues as text or voice messages, when they reach a specified location. So, your friends will receive a clue at the starting point, the next one when they figure it out and reach the next location, and the next one there until they reach theprize.

HOW TO PLAY TREASURE HUNT WITH ZOMENT?

Let's assume Alok is organizing a graduation party for his friends Zara, Amy, Meenakshi, Pratap and Azhar with the Treasure Hunt theme.
  • Using Zoment, Alok invites his friends to the game through SMS or email. If his friends are not using Zoment, they get a link to download the App. Once his friends accept his request, they appear as his Contacts under the Zoment tab.
  • Alok chooses Location message icon under My Zoments, composes clues as voice or text messages, and chooses his friends as recipients. When his friends reach the specified locations, they will receive clues for the next location.
  • Alok can also set a perimeter from the location, so when his friends are within this perimeter, they get the message. The perimeter can range anywhere from 200 meters to 25 kilometers.

It means that if his first clue leads his friends to Sikandra – where Mughal Emperor Akbar is buried, he can make sure that they receive the second clue right at the gate of Sikandra - leading them to the popular Bhagwan Talkies in Agra, where they can get their third clue to reach Taj Mahal. Isn't that cool?
If you have a group of friends who love a bit of adventure and mystery, play the Zoment Treasure Hunt and enjoy. Show those kids that adults are smarter and funkier!
