QR code treasure hunt across Moscow
Came across this nugget of awesomeness today. Seems the Russians are using QR codes to have a treasure hunt across Moscow. You find the code. You get the clue. Sounds like fun. The site’s in French so here’s the translation for you (thank you Google Translator thingy):
With the new mobile Internet technologies, many urban games thrive
3 examples of using the mobile games and geolocation:
* A treasure hunt in augmented reality for Volvo
* The teaser at Twitter (Daffy’s)
* The hunt for Levi’s is open
In the same way, a new urban game was launched in Moscow. This treasure hunt based on QR codes starting at the subway station Paveletskaya and invites players to find 7 other QR codes by answering riddles.
Until September, every week a new adventure is proposed and a new award to be won.
It makes me think of this video. (YouTube wont let me embed it, the sneaky buggers).
So here’s my idea: QR codes. Plus awesome party in secret location. Who’s keen? I am. Call me.

Location. Location. Location. This isn’t just a phrase that real estate agents like throwing around, nope this is the fad that has everyone talking. Location-based services and how to best utilise them to create a connection with customers (plus getting footfall into stores).Our dear friend, Mark Zuckerberg, couldn’t let this opportunity pass him by and introduced the world to Facebook deals.
