Currently working on a take on Pokémon GO + Pokémon Snap but for birding. The goal is to explore your neighborhood, find birds, take good photos of them all. Next month, I'll be doing an event to find a rare bird, excited to see how it goes!
It's still a small closed alpha, if anyone is interested: https://testers.birdlego.com
Here is a rough trailer of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVpR8aafFjI
I got super excited thinking this was for real birds. I would love someone to gamify birding.
I guess it's not intensely gamified, but I have a couple friends at like 80-90% on Merlin. It's their excuse to travel and live abroad
What’s missing from eBird?
Certainly gamified a bit as I learned from:

I want something more gamified. I want to go on missions or complete challenges or something. Not just identity and log stuff.

Oh I was hoping for this but with real birds in my neighborhood. Still neat!
I would pay for this. 100%.
OK, I would pay for this. Definitely following!
What a good idea, sounds fun!
