GPS and Hidden Locations

In an interactive route, the participant’s location can determine when a question becomes available.

When the route uses geolocation, the device requires access to location. The creator can associate content with specific points and define activation conditions.

A route can display locations so that the participant follows an itinerary or hide points and provide clues to discover them.

Example: in a local heritage visit, a clue describes an architectural element that the participant must find before answering the question.

  • Choose accessible and safe locations.
  • Avoid requiring the participant to access private or dangerous places.
  • Write clues that are precise enough to avoid confusion.
  • Physically test the route before sharing it.

GPS accuracy can vary depending on the environment and device; this should be considered when designing the activity.
