TUAW's Daily iPhone App: Traveler's Quest

by Mike Schramm Jun 7th 2011 at 8:00AM

Traveler's Quest is an oldie but a goodie in the App Store -- it's a GPS-based treasure hunting map that will send you searching around your own area for virtual treasure with a game layer on top of it. It's simple to play and learn, but there's an addictive quality to hunting down and finding a certain location with your iPhone's GPS that will keep you playing while out and about, whether you're wandering around a vacation spot this summer or just exploring your own neighborhood.

The app just got updated to version 3.0 as well, and the new version adds a whole list of interface improvements, along with a "Message in a Bottle" feature (allowing you to leave virtual messages along with any treasure you happen to claim -- kind of like virtual geocaching, and very fun) and some new Game Center achievements to chase after. Great app -- Traveler's Quest is a free download on the App Store, with various features available for an extra in-app purchase price.

The pricing changed first thing this morning from paid to free for the week of WWDC, so people who immediately clicked on the link, saw the price change. Please take a look again, and find the app for free in the store now!

it is free for a week and then it goes back to its regular $.99. Contact www.kittycode.com if you need assistance with the free week.

I've been playing the game for over a year and it is the only game i play every single day. i love the game. the developers are there and on top of things. they have a great facebook group page. the TQ community is fun and helpful, as well. well worth the price of the game.

same in Canada. Not free. As an active Geocacher, this looks interesting, but I don't feel like paying yet another dollar to try something and trash it if it's not that great. (I know, $1 isn't much, but I've already bought many apps for $1 that I only used once or twice).

So... it's like geocaching but you don't actually have to find anything?

Strange, it isn't free in Switzerland…
Well it says it's free, but then you get a popup saying that the price has changed and asks whether you'd still like to buy it or not.
Anyone else having this?

Same here in the US. I just went to download it but it comes up under search as free, but when you tap it to go to it's page it says it's 99 cents. Fail.
