Plate Hunter

Going on a road trip with family or friends? Tap Share on any trip to invite others via iMessage, AirDrop, or link. Everyone spots plates on their own phone and the trip syncs across all devices in seconds — combined progress, combined bingo, combined celebration. If two players call the same plate, whoever saw it first gets credit. Shared trips use iCloud; no accounts or logins required. GAME CENTER — NEW IN 1.3 Plate Hunter is fully integrated with Apple Game Center. Earn 19 achievements across every device you play on, and compete on four global leaderboards: High Score (rarity-weighted points across all trips), All-Time Plates, Best Single Trip, and Longest Streak (consecutive days with a spot). ROAD TRIPS Create a separate trip for every journey. Each trip tracks its own spotted plates, points, bingo card, and achievements — so your summer road trip stays separate from your weekend getaway or family vacation. Switch between trips anytime, right from the home screen. POINTS & RARITY Every plate is rated by rarity — 1 star for common plates, up to 5 stars for ultra-rare finds like Wyoming, Rhode Island, or Nunavut. Rare plates award more points. Compete with yourself to beat your high score on every trip. 19 ACHIEVEMENT BADGES Unlock badges as you build your collection: · First Spot, Getting Started, On a Roll, Quarter Century · Plate Hunter, Halfway There, Plate Chaser, Fifty Down · All 50 States, O Canada!, Grand Master (all 63) · Regional sweeps: Go West, Southern Comfort, Yankee Doodle, Heartland Hero · Special challenges: Coast to Coast, Rare Collector, Border Hopper, Friendly Neighbors Every badge unlocks with a celebratory animation and sound effect, and reports to Game Center. BINGO MODE Generate a random 5×5 plate bingo card. Plates auto-fill as you spot them during normal play. Get 5 in a row — horizontal, vertical, or diagonal — for BINGO! Generate a new card anytime for a fresh challenge. MAPS · Pin Map — See exactly where on the map each plate was spotted, pinned and color-coded by rarity. · Region Map — A visual grid of all US states and Canadian provinces, showing your spotting progress at a glance. PLATE DETAILS Tap the info button on any spotted plate to explore: capital city, largest city, population, land area, time zone, state flower, state bird, and a unique fun fact for every state and province. TRIP LOG A chronological timeline of every plate you've spotted — with the exact date, time, and point value of each find, plus a running total. SOUND EFFECTS Satisfying audio feedback for every action: a two-tone chime when you spot a plate, a fanfare arpeggio at milestones, a triumphant chord when you unlock a badge, and a rapid celebratory burst for BINGO. Sounds play alongside your music or podcasts without interrupting them. PROGRESS TRANSFER Moving to a new phone or playing with family? Share your progress between devices with a simple export/import code that preserves every timestamp. NO ADS. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Plate Hunter is a one-time purchase. All 63 plates, all features, all future updates — included forever.
