I'm Lloyd... I quit trying to be a tourist to build the world's first treasure hunt marketplace

Hi everyone!

I'm Lloyd, founder of HUNTA... and today is our launch day, so I'm finally introducing myself properly.

Quick backstory: I kept meeting people in small towns and islands who knew every hidden corner, legend and secret spot... and watched them scrape by while big tour platforms took all the tourism money.
So I built HUNTA, a marketplace where locals turn their town into a self-guided treasure hunt, publish it in minutes, and earn 60% of every sale. Think Airbnb for walking treasure hunts... players get an authentic local adventure on their phone, creators get paid for what they already know.

Right now we have live hunts across the UK, Italy, France, Thailand, New Zealand and Greece... from a pub-twist trail in a small English market town to a sunset riddle walk through Oia in Santorini.

What would make you build a treasure hunt of your town?

We launch tomorrow... a marketplace where anyone can turn their town into a self-guided treasure hunt for free and keep 60% of every sale.

Honest question for this community: what would it take for you to actually build one? Time? Confidence in your writing? Proof others are earning? Better route-mapping tools?

I want to know where the friction is from people who'd be our first creators. Tear it apart... it genuinely shapes the roadmap.

HUNTA - Treasure Hunts - Self-guided treasure hunts created by locals

HUNTA turns any town into a treasure hunt. Locals build self-guided hunts from the secrets they already know... free to create, in an afternoon, no coding. They earn 60% of every sale, forever. Players get a real-world adventure: follow clues, find hidden corners, learn what guidebooks never tell you. 25 hunts live across the UK, Italy, France, Greece, Thailand and New Zealand... every new town comes from a creator who lives there. Build one for your town, or play one this weekend.
