Safety Guidelines
Please read before you play
Fetch Quest AR is played in the real world, on real walks, with your real dog. The adventure is meant to make your walks more fun — never more dangerous. Augmented reality places game elements over your camera view, but the pavements, roads, weather and other people are all still real. Keep these guidelines in mind every time you play.
🐾 The golden rule
Look up, not down. Your safety and your dog always come before any collectible, quest or reward.
Stay aware of your surroundings
- Stop walking before you interact with the screen. Don't walk and stare.
- Look up often and keep your head up between actions.
- Be especially careful in busy, crowded or unfamiliar areas.
Watch for traffic and hazards
- Never play while crossing a road. Obey all traffic signals and crossings.
- Stay clear of railways, water, cliffs, steep drops, construction sites and other hazards.
- Never play while driving, cycling, skating or operating any vehicle or machinery.
Keep your dog safe
- Follow local leash laws and keep your dog under control at all times.
- Don't let the game distract you from your dog's behaviour, health or comfort.
- Bring water, watch for signs of overheating or exhaustion, and take rest breaks.
- Be mindful of hot pavements, cold conditions and rough terrain that can hurt paws.
Respect property and the law
- Never trespass on private property or enter restricted or dangerous areas.
- Don't break any law or rule to reach in-game content — no reward is worth it.
- Respect other people, pets, wildlife and the environment around you.
Mind the weather and your wellbeing
- Check the forecast and dress for the conditions.
- Avoid extreme heat or cold, which can be dangerous for you and especially for dogs.
- Stop and rest if you or your dog feel tired or unwell.
Playing with children
- Children should only play with the permission and supervision of a parent or guardian.
- Talk with younger players about road safety and staying aware before they play.
In an emergency
If you or someone else is in danger, stop playing immediately and contact local emergency services. For your dog's health emergencies, contact your veterinarian.
