Run year-round tours or seasonal scavenger hunts to get people downtown or around your community

Apptivities are app-based activities that can be added to your community's mobile app (initial setup fee applies). Examples include walking tours, scavenger hunts, StoryHunt™ Adventures for kids, and other contests and games that use the mobile app and cutting-edge proximity technology.

A virtual tour guide

Stops can be featured on an interactive map and, with the use of Beacon technology, as they approach, content appears on their phone automatically, with pictures, animations, audio narrations or video with information or instructions. 

Many downtowns can run historical homes or historical building tours, art walks or mural tours, and more to highlight the culture and history of their community.

At the same time, seasonal adventures encourage locals and visitors alike to visit your community for St Patrick's Day pub crawls, Mother's Day walks, Halloween Trick-or-Treating and a lot more. District Managers receive detailed participant reports and Apptivities can be rethemed and reused as often as you like.
