Tikers

Real-world quests across Lebanon: go there, prove it, stamp the map.

Tikers is an iPhone and Android game about exploring Lebanon in person, for players aged 16 and over. Explorers pick real-world quests on a 3D map of the country, go to the spot and take a photo or short video in the app; once the place and time are checked, the quest is stamped on their map.

The problem

Lebanon's best places are spread out, and many are only at their best at a certain hour or season.

A sunrise at the Pigeon Rocks, the olive harvest in Koura or a snow day at Zaarour each need the right spot at the right moment. A game that rewards going there also has to trust that players really went, without staff reviewing every photo, and it has to run in English, Arabic and French on the mid-range Android phones common in Lebanon.

What we built

A Flutter app that turns Lebanon into a 3D board of quests, each one verified on the spot by the server.

Explorers browse quests on a three.js map of the country, start one, and get an arrival alert from the phone's own geofencing when they reach it. They take the proof with the in-app camera; a Laravel API checks the GPS fix against the quest's radius with PostGIS, the time window (including sunrise and sunset windows) and Firebase App Check. A verified quest is stamped on the map, becomes a postcard in the explorer's passport and is posted to the feed.

Inside the product

What it does.

01 A 3D map of Lebanon A three.js board with 19 landmarks and a themed pin per quest; pins close together merge into bubbles.

02 Proof checked on the spot Location, time window and a genuine app are checked automatically on every proof, with no manual review.

03 Works without signal Proofs taken offline wait on the phone and upload once it is back online; the catalogue is kept offline too.

04 Quests that follow the sun Windows set by hours, weekdays, seasons, one-off dates or sunrise and sunset, worked out for each day.

05 Postcards and leaderboards Each verified quest becomes a shareable postcard; a nearest-first feed and weekly leaderboards follow.

06 English, Arabic, French The whole app and every quest are in three languages, with a right-to-left layout in Arabic.
