Google Launches Field Trip App For Android
Google’s Niantic Labs has launched a new Android app called Field Trip. The company is describing it as “your guide to the cool, hidden, and unique things in the world around you.”
The app runs in the background on your phone, and when you get close to something “interesting,” it pops up a card with details about the location.

The Armchair Treasure Hunt Club
http://www.treasureclub.net/publichunts/
The Armchair Treasure Hunt Club publishes its own exclusive hunts for its members but also keeps track of current hunts available to the general public - through the bimonthly newsletter and online bulletin board.
Public hunts come in many shapes and sizes and are published for a number of reasons. Some are devised to promote charities or causes, many are written by budding hunt-setters on a non- or low-profit basis, whilst others are commercial. But with hunts you often don't get what you pay for, so don't assume the free hunts are any less well-crafted and enjoyable that the commercial hunts.
