PlateQuest recognizes real plate designs and turns them into a collecting game for all 50 states, DC, and Canada’s 13 provinces and territories. Snap a plate, build your atlas, race your friends each week, and be a design’s first finder — with no ads or subscription.
From first snap to full atlas, PlateQuest keeps the hunt moving.
When you're a passenger, on foot, or safely parked, point at a license plate and tap. PlateQuest spots it and logs the catch — no careful lining-up needed.
Captures are reviewed before they join your collection. We identify the plate design, not the vehicle owner, and never extract or store the plate number as text.
Plates fill in state by state and province by province. Grab a 1ST badge when you're the first explorer to ever find a design — and go Pro to chase the rare specialty plates too.
Explore a growing catalog of standard, specialty, electric, military, vintage, and university designs from across the US and Canada, with a separate Canada atlas for all 13 provinces and territories. Your first plate in every state and province is free to collect; one optional Pro unlock opens design-level collecting after that.
Point and tap — that's it. PlateQuest finds the plate, frames it, reads the state or province right off it, and submits the catch without careful lining-up. Quick Capture keeps the camera ready for the next plate, and you can follow every catch through review. No signal? Your catch is saved on your phone and sent when you're back online.
Canada has an atlas of its own: all 13 provinces and territories, from the Maritimes to the bear-shaped plates of the North. Catch a Canadian plate at home or across the border and it counts toward Canada.
Every week is a new race. Trade a race code with family and friends to see who spots the most plates, or race your own last week. Racers see names, scores, and latest finds, never photos, and you can block or report anyone from their card.
Start a road trip and every plate you catch joins its story. When you get home, share a Road Trip Wrapped card with the states and provinces you reached, your new designs, and your best find.
Every state and province you catch earns a sticker. Catch more of its designs to upgrade the sticker from bronze to silver to gold, and finish a region to win a roof topper for your car.
Design your traveler and the car they drive: hair, hats, outfits, paint, wheels, roof gear, a co-pilot, and the road you cruise. Some options unlock as you play, your favorite stickers ride on the car, and Pro puts your own letters on a real plate design.
Every design you haven’t caught gets a wanted poster, so you know what to look for on the next drive. Once you catch it, your own photo takes its place.
Every day you catch a plate counts, and a break between trips never costs you one. Milestones celebrate the big moments: your 10th state, your 25th, and the full 50.
Be the first player ever to photograph a design and you earn its 1ST badge. Find a design the catalog is missing and it can be added for everyone else to hunt.
PlateQuest is ready for the road. Be among the first explorers to join the hunt — free to join, free to play, and built to make every mile more fun.
