Tech setup in 5 minutes

You play Localnauts outdoors on a phone or tablet, in the browser. A little preparation saves you hassle on the way — especially with sound, the screen and the permissions. Run through it once before you start and the mission runs smoothly.

1 · Before you set off (best done at home on Wi-Fi)

Full battery — the tour lasts about 2–3 hours. Bring a power bank.

Have your game code ready (from the game organiser).

Quick test: open the game in the browser, enter the game code — does it all start?

2 · Set the device up right

Sound on

Nauti talks to you. Turn off the silent switch, volume up. If there's still no sound, tap 'Tap for sound' once in the game — browsers block auto-sound until you tap once.

Keep the screen on

So the display doesn't keep switching off: iPhone/iPad → Settings → Display & Brightness → Auto-Lock → 5 minutes or Never. Android → Settings → Display → Screen timeout → 5–10 minutes.

Internet on the go

For the map and GPS: turn on mobile data. No phone with a data plan? Turn on a hotspot on a parent's phone and connect the game device to it.

Location / GPS on

Switch on location services — otherwise the map doesn't know where you are.

3 · Allow in the browser — just tap 'Allow' when first asked

Location (GPS)

Map & navigation to the station

'Allow' — otherwise there's no positioning.

Camera

Logbook photos at the stations

Opens automatically at the first photo — no need to allow it in advance.

Microphone

For the repeat-after-me task (station 2, Czech greeting)

Tap 'Allow' when asked — or just tap 'We said it out loud'. Not required.

Privacy: GPS and photos stay only on your device — nothing is uploaded.

4 · If 'Block' was tapped by accident

No drama:

Photos still work — the camera opens at the station in its own window, independently of the permission.
The microphone isn't needed — just tap 'We said it out loud'.

Re-allow permanently (needed for GPS if declined by accident):

1.Tap the lock or info symbol on the left of the address bar.
2.Set the permission (location / camera / microphone) to 'Allow'.
3.Reload the page.

Important: once a permission has been declined, the browser can't ask again via a button in the game — only via this lock symbol. So it's best to tap 'Allow' the first time you're asked.

Quick checklist before you start

Battery over 60% / power bank with you

Sound on, screen auto-lock set high

Mobile data or hotspot on

Location / GPS on

Game code ready

Have fun, Localnauts!
