About The Game
How GeoCrossing works
GeoCrossing turns real places into a discovery game built around special coordinates called XINGs.
What is a XING?
A XING is a coordinate on the GeoCrossing grid where latitude and longitude align to whole degrees, 10-minute steps, or 1-minute steps. Examples include 48°05'N 17°03'E and 48°10'N 17°31'E.
How do you find XINGs?
Use the mobile app or the web map, look at the XINGs near your location, and walk toward one. When you reach the allowed area around it, the visit is recorded.
Why are some XINGs not active yet?
XINGs are released over time so new players can still discover fresh locations. Each release time is computed deterministically from the XING code, so everyone sees the same schedule.
How does scoring work?
Points are awarded by discovery order. The first player gets 1000 points, the second gets 500, the third gets about 333, and so on. Each device can claim a given XING only once.
How do I sync my mobile finds to the web?
Sign in inside the GeoCrossing mobile app first. Then open the web app profile, show the QR code, and approve the sign-in from your phone. Your account stats and found XINGs will then appear in the web app.
Where can I explore on the web?
The public site is static and focused on discovery. The interactive map and account features live in the GeoCrossing web app.
