Trick or Tree

Inspiration

Inspiration came from the Discord chatbot, which assists us in many ways especially in Hackathon events. in this Covid situation, people are skeptical to visit and interact. But Halloween is there and we want to give candies maintaining the social distance. Also, these days we are hurting our environment badly. The least we could do is plant as many trees as possible. So, to make children/youngsters/everyone encourage the planting of trees.

What it does

We can give the WhatsApp chatbot number outside the door. Anyone can scan the code and play trick or treat with a chatbot on their phones. The chatbot will ask Trick or Treat. Then it goes through multiple steps like giving the user a quest to solve. And have an option to select from a treat or Tree. If a user selects tree, then he or she will be given a plant along with candies(A bumper prize hidden). Owner of this game will receive a message with name of person who has selected tree or treat. Then Owner can create candies and tress and have a name on top of it. This can be placed outside the house, keeping social distance and people can come and check for their treats.
