About

Odyssey is a web app built on a three tier architecture. The app is a social media game that allows users to accumulate points and badges by creating and solving quests as they travel around the world.

The Team

The developers of Odyssey are a group of 8 students, dubbed Everyware, from the University of Canterbury's SENG302 class of 2019. We wanted to create an application that the university could use for events such as open days. This application was developed over the course of eight months of university work, so we hope you enjoy it!
