Show HN: Interactive scavenger hunts based on audio

https://www.zaphunt.com/
2•nssmeher•6mo ago
This is my first ever submission to HN. Hope to receive some constructive criticism. Plan to submit more.

ZapHunt is an interactive audio scavenger hunt, where in each audio episode leads to another after finding an item in your home. No sign up needed.

This idea came from my journey as a parent — my daughter used to be overstimulated by noisy toys and screen time (not much anymore). I imagined as my kid grew older, I would want to find something to entertain without too much screen involvement. I noticed everyone liked scavenger hunts but they are like TODO lists, they get boring after a certain point of time. So, I combined it with a twist. Scavenger hunt with stories. Although, I intended for kids ages 7+, If you are a kid at heart you can try and give me feedback.

I’d love feedback from the community on a few things:

Did you want to play another after completing the whole story ?

Did the audio interactions feel smooth or confusing?

Should I pivot ZapHunt’s audio scavenger hunt concept to a new format?

Are there any industries or areas where these kinds of interactive audio experiences could be useful? I usually lean towards edutainment, but I'm wondering if there are other niche areas that might benefit from this idea, especially ones with fewer restrictions/laws around it ?

Any bugs, friction points, or parts that felt off?

Discuss – Do AI agents deserve all the hype they are getting?
