DIGIVESTASI - After the popularity of the Pokémon Go phenomenon, which became a trend among various age groups in 2016, a new location-based game called 'Jagat - Find Family & Friends' has now emerged. This treasure hunt game, known as Koin Jagat, has gone viral on social media, particularly on TikTok, in the past few weeks.
The Jagat app is available for free download by Android and iPhone (iOS) users, although it offers in-app purchases.
In this game, Koin Jagat invites players to hunt for virtual coins scattered across various public locations in major cities in Indonesia, such as Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya. Iconic locations, such as Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) in Jakarta and Alun-Alun Surabaya, have become popular hubs for the treasure hunt, attracting many players.
The coins found can be exchanged for cash, with values varying depending on the type of coin discovered. There are three types of coins to search for: gold, silver, and bronze, which can be exchanged for cash ranging from IDR 300,000 to IDR 1,000,000. Silver coins are estimated to be more valuable, though the complete details have not yet been announced. Meanwhile, gold coins are considered the most valuable, offering a grand prize of up to IDR 100 million, making them the primary target for players.
While Koin Jagat offers an enjoyable social experience and allows interaction with other players in the real world, this game also has the potential to create negative impacts, both in terms of data security and social effects. The Jagat app requires various access permissions from its users to enjoy the virtual coin hunting features, including permission to access the user's location and other personal information. One of the permissions requested is access to the user's precise location, which is directly linked to the app.
