7. Huntaz

It suits players who enjoy the world more than the answers. Play a Quick Hunt on your own, the Daily Hunt everyone shares each day, or team treasure hunts in Scheduled Multiplayer and Sponsored Multiplayer.

- Street View treasure hunting
- Free access
- Free to play with a free account
- Level
- Easy to start: no geography knowledge needed
- Platforms
- Web browser on desktop and mobile
Good for: explorers, families and teams who want an adventure rather than a test.
Worth knowing: it will not drill you on capitals or flags; pair it with a quiz game for that.

A different kind of geography game
Explore the world instead of quizzing it
Quizzes test what you already know. Huntaz is about what you notice. Each hunt takes you to real places in Google Street View, and the treasure chests hidden around each location reward players who look carefully at the streets around them.
You do not need to know a single capital to play, and you will see corners of the world you might never have visited otherwise.
