# Loot Hunt
A digital alternate reality game — find and scan hidden QR codes in real life to earn points and climb the leaderboard.
## 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
### Point System
| Scan Order | Points |
|-----------|--------|
| 1st scan | 500 |
| 2nd scan | 250 |
| 3rd scan | 100 |
| 4th+ | 50 |
Players earn points only once per package. Re-scanning lets you update the package hint.
## Tech Stack
- **Node.js** + Express
- **SQLite** via better-sqlite3
- **EJS** templates
- **PDFKit** + qrcode for printable QR sheets
- **Docker** deployment via Portainer
## Quick Start (Development)
```bash
cp .env.example .env
npm install
node src/setup-admin.js admin yourpassword
npm run dev
```
Visit `http://localhost:3000`
## Docker Deployment
The project deploys via Gitea Actions → Docker build → Portainer stack update.
```bash
# Build locally
docker build -t loot-hunt .
# Run
docker run -p 3000:3000 -v loot-data:/app/data \
-e SESSION_SECRET=your-secret \
-e BASE_URL=https://loot-hunt.com \
loot-hunt
# Create admin user inside container
docker exec -it loot-hunt node src/setup-admin.js admin yourpassword
```
