Traveler’s Quest: How much can traveling help your score?

Posted on by Ilene Jones

Traveler’s Quest is a game about location, but not your average check-in game. Actually, there are no check-in’s at all in Traveler’s Quest.

Grumpy Lumpy from Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA

Your goal, detect treasure around you with your treasure detector, or buy maps to near by treasures. Then go to where the map leads you to pick up the treasure. Easy enough right? What if you lived in Florida, and took a froggie with you to Seattle, and another player picked up that treasure and took it to Australia?  That’s exactly what happened to this Grumpy little guy.  We’re guessing he doesn’t like to travel much, but he has definitely gone the distance, and all that traveling was definitely worth while!

Australian Grumpy Lumpy - Worth a bundle half way around the world!

The difference is a local Grumpy Lumpy that has only traveled 3 hours, or 200 miles north is worth 34 gold per day if he were buried, but our new Australian transplant is worth a whopping 293 gold per day if he is buried, or if he were to be sold to the local store, the owner would receive 2,934 gold.  While most players won’t travel this far, you can see how much traveling can help you reach the top of the leader boards!

 

Happy Hunting!

Keeping track of Tropical Cyclones and Typhoons…

Posted on by Ilene Jones

Most people who have purchased Hurricane or Hurricane HD probably purchased it to track hurricanes during the Atlantic hurricane season.

Did you know that these two great apps also track Tropical Cyclones and Typhoons? With the South Pacific’s Tropical Cyclone season in full swing, and the West Pacific’s season nearing the start, it is great to know you can track these storms quickly and easily. From Satellite images that cover vast areas of the ocean, to the floater satellites which get you up close and personal with the storm, the tools you need to keep your family and friends informed are at your fingertips.

Did you know that Hurricane and Hurricane HD include text bulletins, JTWC forecast graphics and more? There’s lots of information at your fingertips!

Did you know that Satellites and Radar animated loops are available all year long, and anywhere that tropical systems are known to form? We include world wide satellites which can be used all year long, in the highest resolutions available.

Now, while it’s quiet in the Atlantic we are working on the latest updates, to help keep you informed, and prepared during the 2011 Hurricane Season. We look forward to another great year of storm tracking with you!
