Getting started

How Grave Discoveries works

Use the app before, during and after a cemetery visit. Plan at home, explore respectfully in the field, and add research later.

Open Explore and start GPS

Find mapped cemeteries near you, search by name or location, or add a cemetery that is missing.

Enter a cemetery

Playable cemeteries show Discoveries on a map. Gold indicates places you have not explored; green shows those already found.

Follow a clue

Open a Discovery, read the clue and use the map to reach the location. Field claims require location verification.

Take a Tour or start an Adventure

Tours provide ordered stories and optional narration. Adventures are timed challenges for Solo or Group play.

Record your own find

Interesting graves or features can become Contributions. A field Contribution requires GPS and a photograph; research can be expanded later at home.

Build your Journal and Collections

Your Cemetery Journal records visits and notes. Collections let you track whatever catches your interest.
