The EssentialSpots app engages users by guiding them through a scavenger hunt experience. Users download the app to start the game and are presented with a series of clues that lead to featured physical locations. Leveraging Beacon technology, users discover points of interest by following clues using their mobile devices. Upon reaching each location, the beacon technology automatically detects the users presence and awards a badge. Upon collection of all the badges, the game is completed and the user submits their email to win their reward.
