Check in, earn points, win prizes
The Explorer isn't just a map — it's a game. Every check-in earns points, and completing challenges can trigger a random prize drop with real local rewards.
Every check-in pays
Bank 10 points every single time you tap check-in at a local spot — points stack toward badges and Explorer ranks.
Surprise prize drops
Finish a challenge and the app rolls the dice — you could win a random reward on the spot, from small perks to rare legendary drops.
Keep your streak alive
Check in on back-to-back days to build a streak. Longer streaks unlock bigger challenges and better odds at the good stuff.
Real local rewards
Wins are real — think a free local coffee, member-only deals, and other perks you actually redeem at Pinellas businesses.
Not every drop is equal
When a prize drops, the app rolls from a pool of rewards. The rarer the tier, the lower the odds — so those legendary wins really mean something.
Everyday perks that drop the most often.
Better rewards with a lower chance to hit.
The rare, jackpot-tier wins worth chasing.
