Vufind is an interest recognition platform and API that enables apps and brands that target users based on their Interest Graph.

Vufind publishes apps and augmented reality geoSocial games that let users play, share and earn real-life rewards/deals based on their interests.

Vufind’s unique approach to interest recognition and inferring the Interest Graph is frictionless and seamless.

Vufind’s flagship mobile social real-life games branded VuHunt are Risk-inspired board games played on real-life neighborhoods as the battlefield to conquer places, build an empire and win rewards and real-life deals based on the player’s interests.

The VuHunt games have a unique advertising model where advertisers bid on the objects of the hunt, specific locations, sponsor an entire hunt, visual checkin contests and/or Groupon-style daily deals.

Meet VuHunt! Your life is the game!

VuHunt is a real-life Risk board game on top of the world that blends with your daily routine, and offers you actual rewards/deals that match your tastes and interests.

VuHunt is a fun real-life strategy game that lets you build an empire on top of the real-world, explore and checkin at places you like, follow friends you love, and share interests and activities in a cool visual way.

Your goal is world domination! Build the coolest vast empire, earn the highest honor titles such as Emperor of the US, Prince of Paris, or Duke of Madrid, all while collecting wealth and earning great real-life rewards. The honor titles are based on the number of castles you have conquered in a particular city, state or country.

VuHunt has an economic model: castles have revenue and upkeep, travel to far away castles costs extra dollars, and you can use your wealth to buy unicorn, dynamite, or guard battalions to protect your castles.

Brands and merchants sponsor premium castles that have their own contests, rewards, and media content.
