Description

Build a location-based game framework combining zkGPS privacy proofs with collaborative mapping for treasure hunts, collectibles, and IoT-anchored discoveries.

Use cases:

  • Conference treasure hunts with provable location without disclosure
  • Collectible elements anchored to physical locations
  • Crafting/combining discovered items
  • Mycelial network growth between discovered nodes
  • IoT hardware integration (NFC tags, BLE beacons)

Game mechanics:

  • Proximity proofs ("I'm within 50m of X" without revealing where)
  • Hot/cold navigation using geohash precision degradation
  • First-finder rewards with timestamp proofs
  • Group discovery requiring N players in proximity
  • Spore collection and mycelium cultivation
  • Fruiting bodies when networks connect

Integration points:

  • zkGPS commitments for hidden locations
  • Mycelium network for discovery propagation
  • Trust circles for team-based play
  • Possibility cones for "reachable discoveries" visualization

Acceptance Criteria

  • #1 Discovery anchor types (physical, virtual, IoT)
  • #2 Proximity proof verification for discoveries
  • #3 Collectible item system with crafting
  • #4 Mycelium growth between discovered locations
  • #5 Team/group discovery mechanics
  • #6 Hot/cold navigation hints
  • #7 First-finder and timestamp proofs
  • #8 IoT anchor protocol (NFC/BLE/QR)
