Participate in AI-personalised treasure hunts where each clue is a physical location. Earn on-chain rewards and onboard a million users

The problem Khoj solves

  1. Lack of Engagement in Web3 Adoption: Web3 adoption faces barriers due to its technical complexity and lack of relatable, engaging entry points for non-technical users.
  2. Decline in Real-World Exploration: In a digital era, people often miss out on physical-world experiences.
  3. Limited Interactive Marketing for Brands and DAOs: Brands and blockchain communities struggle to engage users meaningfully.

Core Gameplay

  • Progressive Riddles: Each hunt consists of multiple interconnected clues that tell a story. This is procedurally generated by the AI.
  • Location-Based Verification: The answer to each clue is a physical location.
  • Personalised Clues: The clues are tailored to the user's taste using AI while still keeping the answer same.
  • Multiple Attempts: Players get 3 attempts per clue to verify their location
  • Real-time Collaboration: Built-in video chat for team coordination.
  • Rewards & Reputation: Fastest players win rewards based on a reputation score generated which can be redeemed later.

Web3 Integration

  • Multi-chain deployment (Base, Moonbeam, BNB Chain).
  • Seamless login via Coinbase SDK and NFT-based registration.
  • Decentralized storage (Walrus Network) and on-chain clue attestations.
  • Smart contracts for hunt registration and rewards.
  • Token rewards for achievements and milestones.

Use Cases

  1. Co-branded Hunts: Promote products or services creatively.
  2. Airdrops: Distribute tokens through gamified participation.
  3. Community Engagement: Strengthen DAOs and NFT communities.
  4. Educational Hunts: Engage students and visitors at museums or landmarks.
  5. Tourism Promotion: Drive interest in cultural and historical sites.
  6. Team Building: Foster collaboration within corporate teams.
  7. Event Engagement: Enhance festivals and expos with interactive hunts.
  8. Fitness Incentives: Gamify physical activity with rewards.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Designing the overall workflow and all taking all architectural decisions was difficult.
  2. Integrating Lit Protocol as a sponsor took a lot of time.
  3. Figuring out how to stream to YouTube via Huddle.
  4. Integrating all the different pieces and interactions between the frontend, backend and the smart contract.
