🎁 Opening Chests & Claiming Rewards

Chests are at the heart of the BKINDNESS gamified experience. They encourage exploration, reward engagement, and strengthen partnerships with local businesses. This section explains how users interact with chests and redeem rewards, including how QR validation works.

📍 Chest Types & Map Interaction

Users explore a GPS-based map with different chest types:

• 🟡 Common Chests – Accessible to all, small daily rewards.

• 🔵 Business Chests – Located at partner business locations.

• 🟣 Event Chests – Special limited-time or sponsored experiences.

• 🟠 Secret Chests – Only visible after completing specific actions or challenges.

💡 Each chest is geofenced and requires user proximity to interact.

🔓 Opening a Chest

1. Approach the chest location

• Map updates based on GPS data.

• Once within interaction radius, chest becomes tappable.

2. Tap to Open

• Engaging animation plays (custom to chest type).

• A randomized reward system determines the outcome:

🧾 Claiming Business Rewards via QR

Many chests are sponsored by businesses and offer real-world perks like discounts, gifts, or experiences. These require in-store verification.

Flow:

4. Merchant scans the QR using the BKINDNESS business app or scanner.

5. Once verified:

• Reward status changes to “Claimed”.

• User receives confirmation and XP.

• Business sees analytics on their dashboard.

✅ QRs are time-limited and single-use for security.
