Celebrate Labor Day with the Nearby® Scavenger Hunt for iPhone

Calling all nature lovers, urbanites, families, neogeographers, and mappers of all kinds: Add places, take pictures and explore to win!

Prizes:

  • A Trip for Two to New York City for the annual Conflux Festival starting September 11th!
  • Other great prizes to be announced right here, and on our twitter feed very shortly, as soon as we decide on what they are :)

When it’s going down:

  • RIGHT NOW through Monday September 1st at 11:59 PM Pacific.

How to Play:

  1. Download Platial's Nearby for iPhone
  2. Link your iPhone to a Platial account (No strings attached.)
  3. Configure your account to post directly to this map from your iPhone
  4. Print out or view this list of the 150 items you will be seeking
  5. Get as many of the 150 items into just 25 photos as you can (some items are worth bonus points).
  6. Remember, you have a limit of just 25 final submissions by the end of the contest

    Too complicated? Need screenshots? Read this blog post that has more detailed instructions or see if Jason has his AIM turned on

A Few Guidelines:

  • All submissions must be shot with your iPhone's camera, no digitally combined items, but getting as many items in one shot is the way to go!
  • Working in teams is highly encouraged!
  • Watch submissions live, on the worldwide game map.
  • Playing is open to anyone, but winning prizes needs to be subject to some official legal stuff, like being old enough to travel, and being somewhere where it's not illegal to win stuff in these kinds of games, etc.
  • Last of all, have fun and be creative!
