How Geotrackable Works

Geotrackable turns an object into a mission-based adventure. Create a free trackable, attach a code, place it in the world, and invite finders to add logs and stories as it travels.

The basics

What is a trackable?

A trackable is a physical object with an online identity. It carries a mission and invites finders to add logs as it moves. Geotrackable makes the setup free, QR-friendly, and approachable for individuals and groups.

What makes Geotrackable different is the combination of simple creation, mission-first storytelling, and resource support for families, clubs, scout troops, schools, and events.

Five steps from idea to journey.

1

Create a trackable

Name the object, create its page on Geotrackable.com, and give it a clear identity.

2

Add a mission

Explain where the item should go and what kind of update finders should leave.

3

Print or attach the code

Use a durable label, laminated tag, or attached card that can survive the activity.

4

Hide, share, or pass it along

Place it in an appropriate location or hand it to the next participant in a group activity.

5

Watch its journey

Read logs, review the map, and use the story for family memories, club recaps, or classroom reflection.

Safety and privacy

Make the adventure safe before it is clever.

Use public, permitted spaces. Avoid dangerous locations, trespassing, sensitive habitat, or anything that could alarm other visitors. For kids and school groups, avoid personal details in labels and public logs.

Geotrackable.net provides planning guidance. Geotrackable.com remains the product site where trackables are created and managed.
