TreasureQuesting

Build treasure hunts. No app. No code.

What it does

TreasureQuesting is a browser-based tool for creating and playing interactive treasure hunts. I built it because I love puzzle hunts and escape rooms, but most tools felt either too static or too complex. You create hunts using puzzles, riddles, maps, real world locations, and QR codes. Players progress by solving challenges, not by clicking through text. Everything runs in the browser. No apps, no downloads, no coding. The editor is visual, simple, and built specifically for treasure hunts.

    Hey Folks, I’ve been really annoyed with the search part of finding gifts. It’s hard to use keyword search for something when it’s an “I’ll know it when I see it” kind of deal. So I thought, what if we scraped/indexed TONS of products and then just focused on removing the things we don’t want and then see what’s left to see if there’s anything cool? I built it in Flutter so it's both iOS and Android but it could be web too. I’ve only just started the scraping/tagging of products and if anyone has suggestions for bulk tagging images/content I would love to hear them. That’s the…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
