Turn your Cars & Coffee into a car hunt.
Your crowd scans a poster and works the rows, photographing cars. The judge names each one in a few seconds and scores it by rarity. A live board at your table shows who's ahead, and the first shot of a rare car can take over the screen. At the close, you read out the winners.
Every row is in play.
Your crowd already walks the rows with a phone out. Now each new model they find counts.
Scan in at the coffee line
The poster's QR, the meet link or your 4-character code opens the game in the phone's browser. Sign in with an email and a 6-digit code, pick a tag, go.
Work the rows
Shoot a car and the judge names it (make, model and years) in a few seconds. Each result reads ON THE MEET BOARD, and hunters see their rank and the time left. STILL OUT THERE lists models others have found at your meet that they haven't: make and rarity, never where it's parked.
Race to the rare one
The first hunter at the meet to file a model gets FIRST HERE and +2. If that first find is rare or legendary, their photo can take over the screen at your table for 10 seconds, tag and all. The screen allows one takeover every few minutes.
Podium at the close
When the meet closes, the standings stay up on your screen, and the live board shows the podium, the rarest find and the best shot. You read out the winners.
Rare pays. Repeats don't.
Each different model a hunter files at your meet counts once, scored by the judge's rarity grade. Every meet starts from zero.
The first hunter at the meet to file a model.
One hunter who finds the only Lancia Integrale can beat someone who shot 40 Miatas. Get there early. Walk the far rows.
Ties go to whoever got there first.
A poster, a screen, a live board and a podium.
Something to announce before the meet, a screen at your table while it runs, and winners to read out at the close. It costs you nothing.
An 11x17 poster with a QR code and your meet's 4-character code. Tape it at the coffee line, the entrance and your table. Print it from the app, or we send it to you.
The board full screen on a tablet or TV: the standings, a big SCAN TO PLAY QR and the code, a countdown and the photo strip. Rare and legendary first finds take over the screen for 10 seconds with the hunter's tag, one every few minutes. It keeps the screen awake.
A web page anyone can open: standings by show score with first counts, the rarest find and best shot so far, a live grid of the photos landing, and how many hunters are shooting now. Share it before the meet and it shows when it opens.
On the live board: the podium, the rarest find and the best shot, ready to read out. Hunters can share a recap card of their meet with a QR back to your board.
What's on the screen at your table.
This is the TV board for a made-up meet with made-up hunters, filled with the site's own car photos. The live board on any phone or laptop shows the same standings, plus the rarest find, the best shot and, after the close, the podium.
Example only. The meet, tags, scores and times are made up, the photos are the site's own, and the QR won't scan.
Only your lot. Only your hours.
Built for the organizer who asks, "Can't someone just game it?" The board ranks photos taken on your lot during your meet. Nothing else.
Inside the fence, inside the hours
Only photos taken inside the fence pinned around your lot (300 meters by default, about 1,000 feet) during meet hours rank. Photos from home, or from last month's show, don't.
Location on to rank
Location has to be on for a photo to rank. Without it, the photo still goes to the hunter's Registry, just not to the board.
Real cars, not screens
The judge rejects photos of screens and prints. Press shots don't count either.
Provisional, then locked
Results stay provisional until an hour after the close, so offline shots from hunters already on the board can still arrive. Then they lock.
Tags, never emails
Every photo on the board is credited to the tag of the attendee who shot it. Handles only.
Never where the car is
The board never shows where a car was found. STILL OUT THERE lists make and rarity, not location.
Two ways to set it up. Both free.
Schedule it yourself in the app today, or tell us about your meet and we'll set it up with you. Anyone who joins through the poster, the link or the code lands on the same board.
Yourself, in the app
- Sign in at hunt.tyrehunt.app and open MEETS.
- Tap HOST A MEET. Add the name, place, date, and start and end time. Share the link.
- At the lot, stand in the middle and tap PIN IT AT THE LOT. That sets the fence.
- Tap PRINT POSTER for your 11x17 poster.
- On the day, open the app on the tablet at your table and tap TV BOARD ↗ on your meet.
On a meet we haven't checked, two people shooting the same car from the same spot can be flagged as a copy. Expecting a crowd? Have us set it up instead.
Schedule your meet in the appWe set it up with you
We pin your lot, set the times, mark it a checked meet, and send you the poster and the TV link.
A checked meet is built for a crowd: everyone can photograph the same car without it counting as a copy (only a re-upload of the same picture does), and shots a few seconds apart are fine.
On the day: your whole job
Before you tape up the poster.
What does it cost?
Nothing for organizers. There's no paid organizer plan. Hunters play free with 30 judged photos a day, and Hunter's Edition ($4.99/month) raises that to 150. The daily limit applies at meets too.
Does my crowd have to download anything?
No. The poster's QR, the meet link or the 4-character code opens the game in the phone's browser. Hunters sign in with their email and a 6-digit code, then pick a tag, the name the board shows.
Twenty people will shoot the same car. Is that a problem?
Not on a checked meet. Everyone can photograph the same car without it counting as a copy (only a re-upload of the same picture does), and shots a few seconds apart are fine. On a meet we haven't checked, two people shooting the same car from the same spot can be flagged as a copy. Either way, only the first hunter to file a model gets FIRST HERE.
Our lot has weak signal. What happens to shots taken offline?
Shots saved offline at the show can still arrive in the hour after the close, while results are provisional, as long as at least one of that hunter's shots reached the board before it closed. Then they lock.
We meet every month. Do I set it up once?
Each meet is scheduled on its own today, with its own code, poster and board, and scores start from zero. Run it as often as you meet.
Do you provide prizes?
No. Prizes are your call, whether that's a trophy, a free coffee or just bragging rights. The app shows the standings.
Give your crowd a reason to walk every row.
Free for organizers. Tape up a poster, put the board on a screen, read out the winners.
