Rags to Royalty: Poke a Coin
Open the app on your phone (Android Chrome or iOS Safari) — allow camera and location permissions.
Tap '📷 Start Camera AR' (iOS) or '📱 Enter AR' (Android). Point your phone at the ground.
Coins appear in front of you. Tap them to collect cash. New coins auto-spawn every few seconds — just walk and tap to collect.
Every 10 coins collected = +1 level. Your class evolves as you grow.
Pennies ($1 each), basic rags
Silver dollars ($5) unlock
Gold bars ($100) & cash briefcases ($1,000)
You rule the streets
Red radar zones appear on your map at Level 4 — these are police enforcement areas. They start small (20m) and grow larger (50m, then 100m+) as you level up.
Collecting coins inside a red zone without a license costs 20% of your wallet in fines.
Buy a Vendor License ($500) on the Empire page — makes you immune to fines forever.
Once you have $1,000,000, go to the Ground map, stand at a location, name it, and claim it.
Anyone who collects coins inside your territory pays you a 10% tax automatically.
Tap another player's flag on the map and pay 2× its value to seize it from them (Buyout War).
At Level 16+, a '🔍 Banker's Eye: Scan' button appears in AR mode.
Tap it to spawn a hidden vault — crack it open for a $5,000 bonus. 30-second cooldown.
Hunt tab — AR coin collection (your main income)
Ground tab — map of territories, police zones, and buyout wars
Empire tab — stats, class ladder, and vendor license purchase
Goal: Start with $0 as a street hunter, collect enough to become Royalty who owns the city's turf. Walk, collect, claim, and conquer.
Rags to Royalty: Poke a Coin is an augmented-reality urban empire game that turns the streets around you into a playground for scavenging and empire-building. Using your phone's camera and GPS, it overlays digital coins, hidden vaults, and claimable territories onto the real world. You start with nothing and climb from Street Hunter to Royalty through exploration and strategy.
Coins are scattered around your surroundings for you to collect, police enforcement zones add risk to your hustling, and territories can be claimed, rented out, and bought out by rival players — making every block you walk a new opportunity.
