How it works
The Local Loot isn't just cash. It's a city‑wide game with five hunt modes, permanent landmarks, and local businesses backing real rewards you actually want.
It's not just cash.
Five steps. Zero gimmicks.
We hide the loot.
Cash, gift cards, merch, or experiences — stashed in safe, public spots across your city.
We post the clues.
One clue at a time, on a timer, right in the app. Notifications fire the second a drop goes live.
You hunt it down.
Follow the clues. Optional warmer/colder GPS hints keep it fair without giving it away.
You prove the find.
Punch the unique code, snap a selfie, upload your proof shot. We verify — no hacks, no favorites.
You keep it.
No fees, no catch, no lottery. Whatever's in the envelope is yours.
Hunt modes
Cash Drops
Our flagship hunt. We hide a real envelope, post clues one at a time, and the first hunter to the code keeps the prize.
Golden Drops
Sponsor‑funded mega drops. Bigger payout, tighter GPS hints, gold‑bordered winner card — and a permanent Golden badge.
Bounty Drops
Walk into the sponsor's business, scan the QR, grab the prize. Guaranteed foot traffic for the shop, guaranteed loot for you.
Physical Chests
Hidden lockboxes with unique claim codes. Find the chest, punch the code online, reveal your prize (cash, card, merch, whatever's inside).
Permanent Pins
Historic plaques, murals, quirky spots. Walk up, unlock an AI‑written fun fact, collect a Passport stamp — and sometimes a coupon from a local sponsor.
The community layer
Stay ready. Pay attention.
Turn on notifications so you're first to the clue. Drops can go live any time.
