WanderBeasts

Inspiration

heavily inspired by pokemon go (And how it got a lot of indoor people outdoors!) It brings together the physical world and fantasy characters.

What it does

It is an app that works to connect tourists or young people with the local economy, helping everyone explore what the under appreciated have to offer, whilst helping people out with discounts and freebies at cafes, restaurants, parks and attractions

How we built it

We built WanderBeasts using React for the mobile app interface, supabase for user data and location tracking, and mapbox for geolocation features. We integrated email ticketing using Resend for the discount system. A business dashboard was built to allow local shops to create challenges and track engagement.

Challenges we ran into

How to randomly generate different "Beast"
What would motivate others to explore local areas.
Login and verification of businesses and players, item collection and challenge progression ## Accomplishments that we're proud of Completed a fully functional frontend web app and backend. It is a fun, and interesting game we both would play! ## What we learned How to develop a create a fun game what includes both businesses and players. Multiplayer for raids and challenges. ## What's next for WanderBeasts Collaberating with other local communities and businesses for community days and good travel advice for others visting the areas
