Once the quarry is in site, users can choose to be assigned an alteration dictated solely by chance: create a funny character, conceal it, add a family member, photograph it at night, make it “pretty,” and so on.

Best for: A variety of age ranges.

Price: $4.99

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5; Requires Android 2.2 and up.

Features: After completing a scavenge, users can upload it to the map and see what scavenges are going on around them. Users can also share their scavenges through Twitter and Facebook and before embarking on a new hunt.
