Now in 6 languages โ€” plus better maps, weather, and restrooms on tap ๐ŸŒ

A big update from the beta: TinyTravlR now speaks six languages, the maps got a major upgrade (a live โ€œyou are hereโ€ dot, restrooms on tap, and parking near the start), and every city page shows the weather so you can pick the perfect day.

It's been a busy few weeks since our last update, and there's a lot to share. Grab a coffee โ˜• โ€” here's everything that's new.

TinyTravlR now speaks your language ๐ŸŒ

The whole app and our website are now fully translated into six languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Menus, clues, riddles, the homepage โ€” all of it. Switch languages any time, and the adventure follows along.

We also added a friendly Help page inside the app that walks you through how everything works โ€” including how to add TinyTravlR to your phone's home screen so it opens just like a real app.

A big upgrade to the maps ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ

Maps are at the heart of every hunt, so we rebuilt them from the ground up. They're now our own custom maps โ€” sharper, smoother, and you can pinch-zoom right in to read the street names. Plus a few things families kept asking for:

  • โ€œYou are hereโ€ โ€” an optional live dot shows exactly where you are on the route, so nobody gets turned around.
  • Restrooms on tap ๐Ÿšป โ€” flip a switch and public toilets appear on the map. If you've ever explored a city with kids, you know why this one matters.
  • Find parking near the start ๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธ โ€” one tap opens directions to parking right by where your hunt begins.
  • A more reliable compass that points the way more steadily.

Check the weather before you head out โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

Every city page now shows a few-day weather forecast, right next to the travel tips โ€” so you can pick the sunniest afternoon for your adventure. Each hunt also shows its walking distance and rough time, so you know what you're signing up for before you set off.

Your suggestions, out in the open ๐Ÿ’ฌ

You told us where you'd love to play โ€” now you can see what happened next. On the suggestions page, every city or feature you've suggested shows its status: under review, planned, in testing, or live. And if you've sent us a bug report, you can now edit your own reports when you think of something to add.

Rock-solid behind the scenes ๐Ÿ”’

We also spent real time on the unglamorous stuff โ€” security, speed, and stability โ€” so the app stays fast and safe as more families come on board. You won't see most of it, and that's rather the point.

What's next

More cities, and the final polish on the road to a public launch. As always, the cities you ask for most get built first. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Want in?

The beta is still open to family testers โ€” play new adventures first (free during the beta), in your language, and help decide what we build next.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Become a tester โ€” we read every application personally.

See you out there! ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ โ€” Iris
