What
The idea for our application came from one of our team members' obsession with recording everything he's ever done and everywhere he's ever been. So originally we planed on building an application where people upload or message using their phone Geo-tagged photos of places they've been and we create a trail of their journey on a map. The idea then evolved to a treasure hunt to include a wider range of people who might be interested. Using our application people will be able to compete in treasure hunts or create their own.

When you try to add a treasure for the first time to a hunt it won’t show up in the list. but if you go back and select the hunt, it will show you the list of treasures that already exist and if you add more, they will be added to the list and show up.
The css is badly broken on firefox and safari. Love the idea, just a shame that the zeep service is US only :(
Yeah I couldn’t add treasure and the hunt I created got doubled, it appears. Nice idea and good, clean design.
Am I missing something? I tried to add a treasure a couple times, but it didn’t seem to take. Love the idea though, and I hope you keep this app online after the rumble!
