Seek - Rewards through Adventure

Signing up for the game is free; simply register to create an account and the app will bring up a map of your area with numerous different "seek chests" nearby. Like "Pokemon Go," you have to leave the house to open the chests; with "Seek," however, you can use any mode of transport to reach it — be that a bike, car, bus, or your own two legs. When you approach the chest, the app uses your phone's camera to display the chest. You have to be between five to 10 feet away to open the chest through AR and retrieve the virtual coins and prizes inside. There are different levels of chests which determine the range and likelihood of prizes: Common chests, Rare chests, Epic chests, and Legendary chests. In order to open the higher level chests, coins are used in the app to buy keys. The more difficult to open the chest, the more lucrative the payout when you finally crack it.

Like "Pokemon Go," players must be willing to give the app access to their movements and phone camera, which may make some players a bit uncomfortable. What's more, while the app is free to download and play, "Seek" is looking to engage with brands by offering businesses the opportunity to place chests outside their stores or special events to attract customers and create buzz — so do with that what you will. "Seek" also partners with businesses by offering company's products and discounts as some of the prizes, with the promise that this provides reliable tracking of consumer interaction with said brand.
