Questions, answered straight.

Gpsy is a city checklist app. You pick a city, work through curated lists of its best places, and check in when you are physically there. The server verifies your location, so every stamp is real. You earn XP, levels and badges, and climb the leaderboards. Version one is Hyderabad only.

Yes. The whole game is free during the Hyderabad beta: checklists, stamps, XP, badges, leaderboards, the guide and Plan my Saturday.

Gpsy is in a private beta for Hyderabad, built for both iPhone and Android. Join the waitlist and we will email you when your spot opens. We are letting people in in small batches, starting with the first 500 on the list.

Your phone sends a fresh GPS fix when you check in. The server accepts it only if the fix is under two minutes old, accurate to 150 metres or better, and inside the place's radius. It also rejects mock-location apps and impossible travel (faster than 120 km/h), and sends odd cases for review. You get one stamp per place per day.

Not easily. Mock locations are detected and rejected, and the server checks speed and daily limits. We are also working on device-level attestation for extra protection. A stamp on Gpsy is meant to be worth bragging about.

No. Gpsy asks for your precise location only when you check in or look for places near you, and you can withdraw consent at any time in Settings. We do not sell your location, and your profile is private unless you turn on a public profile.

Hand-picked places across seven collections, from Charminar, Golconda and the Qutb Shahi Tombs to Irani cafés, biryani institutions, lakes, markets and nightlife. Every place is confirmed by at least two sources before it goes live. Places are added as we verify them.

Main places are the icons of the city and count toward your 'X% of Hyderabad' figure. Side quests are the extras worth the detour, like a café, a trek or a market. They are never in the percentage, but they pay +50 bonus XP and unlock their own badges.

XP is paid only for the first verified stamp of a place, ever. You can stamp it again after 24 hours for the memory, but there is no extra XP. This keeps the game about exploring, not repeating.

Not yet. Bengaluru, Mumbai and Pune are on the list and show as Coming soon in the city picker. Hyderabad opens first so we can get it right.

Gpsy is for people aged 18 and over in version one. Social features include reporting, blocking and hiding, and posts cannot contain links.

Gpsy already builds routes and runs a daily puzzle from our own curated data. We are adding Claude to write fresh riddles and local trivia for each place and to act as a city concierge. It is grounded in our curated place data, so it does not invent places.
