Hack The Hunt

What is it?

Hack The Hunt is a Social Engineering game where individuals are rewarded for expanding the player base, collaborating with teammates, and deceiving opposing team members.

Inspiration:

• The idea of creating something with viral potential
• The seemingly unused QR system which the Hack The North team had given us on our lanyards
• Creating a game for a specific event and situation

What we're proud of

• Reverse engineering the HTN API for login and user information
• Having complex interactions while keeping the UI simple and beautiful
• Creating an awesome, collaborative game where people are driven to make new friends
• 3/4 of us learnt meteor on the job. That was pretty intense.
• Finishing 8 hours early so that we could run around doing sales

Challenges we ran into

• Working with CORS
• Finding a good QR reader library which worked on iOS and Android web browsers
• Managing the DB
• Explaining the concept
