JAKARTA: Following reports of widespread vandalism across Indonesia, viral location-sharing app Jagat has announced a major shift in the gameplay of its most attractive in-app feature and game, treasure hunt.
Jagat’s initial goal of helping users connect with friends and family has been overshadowed by the frenzy surrounding its new coin hunt feature, where players use their phones to track down hidden, bottle-cap-sized coins scattered in everyday locations.
