2 points by myskill29 7 months ago | hide | past | favorite
Hey HN!

I’m working on Waypoints, a mobile app that gamifies visiting local restaurants, bars, and shops. Users earn points, unlock achievements, and complete challenges (like “Visit 3 coffee shops” or “Try 5 different cocktails”) to redeem real rewards like discounts and freebies.

How it works:

Check in at businesses via GPS, QR, or NFC Complete challenges to earn points & achievements Redeem rewards like discounts, free items, and exclusive perks Businesses attract more customers with gamified incentives We’re starting in Charlotte, NC, and I’d love to get your feedback:

What do you think about the concept? Have you seen similar models work before? Any ideas on making the incentives more engaging? Would love your thoughts!
