What is foursquare?

Foursquare is a location-based mobile platform that makes cities easier to use and more interesting to explore. By “checking in” via a smartphone app or SMS, users share their location with friends while collecting points and virtual badges. Foursquare guides real-world experiences by allowing users to bookmark information about venues that they want to visit and surfacing relevant suggestions about nearby venues. Merchants and brands leverage the foursquare platform by utilizing a wide set of tools to obtain, engage, and retain customers and audiences.

foursquare by the numbers (last updated April, 2011)

  • Community: Over 10 million people worldwide
  • Over a billion check-ins, with millions more every day
  • Businesses: Over 500,000 using the Merchant Platform
  • Employees: Over 85 between headquarters in New York, NY and an office in San Francisco, CA

What is SCVNGR?

SCVNGR is a game. Playing is simple: Go places. Do challenges. Earn points! You'll unlock badges and rewards and share where you are and what you're up to with friends.

 

A challenge? What's that?

A challenge is a quick, fun, casual thing to do at a place. Things like checking-in (1 pt), snapping a picture (2 pts), scanning a QR code (2 pts), completing some activity (2-5 pts) or doing the social check-in by bumping phones with your friends (2 pts for each person you check-in with). Of course, the whole fun of challenges is that anyone can create them at their favorite places. Make fun things for your friends to do, for your patrons, or just for random strangers discovering the places you love.

 

How do I play SCVNGR?

Start by grabbing the free app for iPhone & Android. Then go to a place. Do challenges there. And earn points!.
