Zusammenfassung:	A method for providing a treasure hunt in augmented reality includes presenting an indication of a starting point of a path through an environment that, when followed, allows a virtual gift card to be obtained. Then, as a mobile computer system travels through the environment from a location proximate the starting point, navigation indications to allow the path to be followed are presented. Presenting the navigation indications may include capturing images of portions of the environment, detecting locations corresponding to the path, modifying a captured image based on a detected location by compositing it with a navigation indication corresponding to a direction of the path; and displaying the modified captured image. That the mobile computer system has been moved to a location proximate an ending point of the path can be detected and may trigger an update to an account to associate the virtual gift card therewith.
