Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Well, it seems I missed out on one of the testing spots - if you make more available, please let me know :)

Up to 20 points after this morning's walk to work - more map revealed but it's just a long thin sausage of visibility now. Need to do some north/south wandering!

Loads of moneybags now on my map and nothing else.

Ahh - visiting on desktop tells me I found 12 quid. I thought the 'show toolbar' button was to do with the menu on top of the map, not my inventory/resources.

This game is certainly sounding interesting!

I found a loaf of bread by the River Trent; bet that's a bit soggy.
Also collected "44 quid" (presumably not described as actual money to avoid allegations of money lending :-) )

Definitely need to make moving home quicker/easier.

Ideally I'd like a button on the main "Home" screen where it would move the house to my current location, but that might be "moon on a stick" asking :)

Sorry, I'd also quite like a mode where I can see what happened on my walk - slide bar like on the training log with the objects as they were at the time - so I can see the bag of cash that I grabbed.

Not sure I'm making sense!

There is a 'find me' button for Fetchpoint. For Fetchworld, given that the Fetchworld grid moves with the point of view, 'find me' could act as 'move my starting point'.

So: having looked a bit closer at 'my' map, I can now see three loaves, but only one of them is 'mine' - how do I tell which one is mine? Does it matter? Whose are the others, should I be able to see that? Can I steal them, or can they steal mine? Plus, they don't seem to count towards the game score...

Not impressed - someone stole all the stuff I went out to collect. Now my grid is bare.

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
I have decided to build a new version of Fetchpoint, and for now at least I am calling it Fetchworld.

The original Fetchpoint was first launched in 2011 - and I don't know of anything else that was like it at the time. The closest thing I was aware of at the time was geocaching - but nothing virtual like this. It predated Pokemon Go by five years :-)

As with any code project, what started as a relatively clean chunk of code has taken on various bug fixes, workarounds and the code equi...
