Quick Guides
Item Types
The six item types in Seekt — photo and video evidence, text and numeric answers, multiple choice, photo matching, multi-part items, and collect objects.
Location Triggers
GPS-locked items with directional arrows that guide players to specific locations before they can submit.
The Hint System
Text and location hints with optional point costs that create strategic decisions for players.
Scoring
Time-decay scoring, first-finder bonuses, streak bonuses, and manual point adjustment on review.
Multi-Member Teams
Multiple players per team on separate phones, with join approval, captain roles, and leadership transfer.
The Game Zone
Drawing a play boundary on the map, out-of-zone flagging, and live zone alerts for players.
Hidden and Exclusive Items
Secret bonus items that unlock after triggers, and first-claim exclusive items that create a race.
The Live News Feed
Real-time colour-coded updates for players: rank changes, bonus alerts, timer warnings, zone violations, and more.
Safety Check-ins
Periodic safety prompts for team captains, configurable intervals, and overdue team alerts on the host dashboard.
Offline Mode
How submissions are queued locally and synced automatically when connectivity returns.

Managing a live game from one screen — leaderboard, submissions, announcements, timer, and safety monitoring.
After the Game
Final leaderboard, photo slideshow via AirPlay, sharing submissions, and reusing hunts for future events.

Joining a Game
The player join flow — QR codes, join codes, team creation, multi-member approval, and rejoining.

Built-in and personal item libraries — seventy-five ready-to-use items organised by audience, style, and setting, plus saving your own templates for reuse.
Planning Your First Hunt
Practical tips for new hosts — sizing, item variety, clue writing, testing, game zones, and home base.
