StreetComplete – Mapping Made Fun
Client Background
A small group of open-source contributors and map nerds who wanted to make contributing to OpenStreetMap feel like a mobile game. No data layers. No GIS jargon. Just real-world quests that make the world’s free map more complete
What
We Did
We helped streamline the UI into a clean, intuitive interface that made users feel like urban explorers. Each “quest” feels like a micro-task — quick, rewarding, and meaningful. We prioritized clarity, joy, and efficiency.
The
Challenge
They needed to keep the spirit of open-source collaboration alive… while designing a front-end that didn’t scare off non-technical users. The app had to be welcoming, fun, and dead simple — without dumbing anything down.
We turned a crowdsourcing tool into something your little cousin and your grandpa could both enjoy.
The Outcome
StreetComplete has become a go-to for casual contributors and map hobbyists worldwide, with tens of thousands of downloads and thousands of daily contributions. It’s gamified civic engagement — and it works.
