 ## How It Works
 
-1. **Organizers** create a "hunt" and generate printable QR code cards
-2. **Players** scan hidden QR codes to earn points — first find gets the most points
-3. **Leaderboards** track top players per hunt and globally
+1. **Admins** create hunts, manage all content, assign roles, and reset passwords
+2. **Organizers** create and manage their own hunts with printable QR code cards
+3. **Players** scan hidden QR codes to earn points — first find gets the most points
+4. **Leaderboards** track top players per hunt and globally

 Players earn points only once per package. Re-scanning lets you update the package hint.
 
+### Roles
+
+| Capability | Admin | Organizer | Player |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Create hunts | Yes | Yes | No |
+| Manage/edit/delete own hunts | Yes | Yes | No |
+| Manage other users' hunts | Yes | No | No |
+| Download QR code PDFs | Yes | Own hunts | No |
+| Password reset | Yes | No | No |
+| Delete any image / clear hints | Yes | No | No |
+| Assign organizer role | Yes | No | No |
+
+### Features
+
+- **QR Code Cards** — Printable Avery 5371 format PDFs with double-sided backs
+- **First Finder Photos** — First scanner can upload/replace an image per package
+- **Hints** — Most recent scanner can leave a message for the next finder
+- **Player Profiles** — Stats, rank, hunt breakdown, and recent activity
+- **Dark Mode** — Toggle with system preference detection and localStorage persistence
+- **Relative Timestamps** — "3h ago" format with full date on hover
+- **Flash Messages** — Feedback on actions (create, edit, delete, upload, etc.)
+- **Paginated Leaderboards** — 25 per page with navigation controls
+- **Admin Dashboard** — Hunt stats, top finders, discovery rate, recent scans, role management
+
 ## Tech Stack
 
 - **Node.js** + Express
-- **SQLite** via better-sqlite3
+- **SQLite** via sql.js (WASM)
 - **EJS** templates
 - **PDFKit** + qrcode for printable QR sheets
 - **Docker** deployment via Portainer
