Ginger Spotter — Pokémon Go for gingers
A privacy-conscious spotting game that turns sightings of red-haired people into caricatures, collectible scores, and a coarse heat map.
Field notes
The project describes three input routes—camera, upload, or a booth demo—and converts each into a fairground-style caricature rather than retaining the captured face. A player keeps the drawing and a Ginger Power score, while the map receives only an approximately one-kilometre pin. The page also says pins can be placed by hand and local history can be wiped. Its heat map is explicitly presented as illustrative, not as a verified live player map.
