Story
Get to Know Us
Hello player. Choose your path.
​
What if exploring a city felt like playing a game?
​
Inspired by the creativity and curiosity sparked by Minecraft, Mine the City™ transforms real-world exploration into an interactive adventure.
​
Mine the City is a plug-and-play tourism platform that allows cities to create interactive digital trails using QR codes. Visitors scan locations around town to discover history, solve challenges, unlock rewards from local businesses, and track their progress through a digital passport.
​
Cities can design trails centered around history, local legends, STEM challenges, or themed adventures—creating engaging experiences that encourage visitors to explore beyond the main attractions.
​
The platform is flexible and easy to launch. Communities can manage their own trails, partner with local businesses for rewards, or utilize full-service support for trail development.
​
Mine the City helps cities increase tourism, support local businesses, and turn everyday exploration into an unforgettable adventure.
​
Because every city has hidden gems worth discovering.
