ExpLife's travel mode turns a visit into a game. Everyone's map starts under fog, and every street they walk clears it and earns points. Partner cities and organizations add trails of their landmarks and goals of their own, so people go further and find the places you want them to see.
For tourism offices and visitor bureaus, downtown and main street groups, parks departments, campuses, museums and venues.
Pick three or more landmarks, venues or viewpoints and give the walk a name. The trail shows up for people exploring within a distance you choose, up to 100 km, and each stop stays hidden in the fog until they get close. Visitors earn 25 points a stop and, for finishing, a badge named after your trail.
Every city already has goals for exploring 25, 100 and 250 squares of it. Add up to 10 of your own, worth 5 to 250 points each, such as uncovering 500 squares of your city. Everyone who explores there sees them.
Put your landmarks on the map, each with how close counts as being there, from 50 m to 2 km. Venues such as stadiums and arenas also let people check in when they log a game or event there.
Email us with your city or organization and the places you'd like people to find.
Your team gets partner access inside the ExpLife app, where you draft trails, landmarks and city goals. No code and no spreadsheets.
We look over every draft with you, then put it live.
People exploring nearby with travel mode on see your trail appear, and your goals show up as soon as they're in your city.
We made ExpLife's first two trails ourselves, in Eugene, Oregon: Downtown and the river, five stops from the Hult Center to Alton Baker Park, and Track Town, four stops from Hayward Field to Pre's Trail.
Points only count when people really go there, and nobody's movements are on show.
ExpLife is coming soon to iPhone and Android, and we're looking for our first partner cities. Tell us about yours.
