hey, would you be interested in writing an iphone ap that would be a Scavenger Hunt generator? like it would read where you are, and generate a Scavenger Hunt list for you?

I probably don't have the extra time for another app project. But where would it get the scavenger hunts from? Would it also make them or get them from some established scavenger hunt repository?

I suppose it would have a set list of things that can be found in a city, suburb, rural area, or mall or something, but also maybe it could use the location info to do a google search for local parks/monuments/museums/landmarks or something and take the content to generate things like a photo of the washington monument (if you're in DC) or a bit of hay from the largest hay maze in north america... or something... but maybe that's too ambitious?

could just be simple and have a list of items you could get anywhere and not bother with the location. but maybe instead you can send your list to the other people's phones... I dunno.
