The Three Realms
BuzzExplore is a real-world adventure game across Jefferson, Shelby, and St. Clair Counties. Solve riddles, discover hidden gems, connect with strangers, and climb the leaderboard. The only way to win is to actually go.
Three Counties. Three Worlds.
Each county has its own identity, its own lore, and its own locations. You can explore one world or conquer all three.
Once a land of fire and iron, the Ironveil is where ancient furnaces still glow in memory and forests have grown over crumbling mines. The old city pulses with forgotten power — industrial magic forged from generations of builders, fighters, and dreamers.
Deep south of the Ironveil, the land softens into rolling hills, singing creeks, and forests that breathe with life. This is a realm of hidden faces in living trees, cascading falls over mossy rocks, and paths that lead to places only the curious ever find.
Beyond the known lands, where the horizon stretches wide and still waters mirror the stars, lies the Shimmering Reach. A realm of quiet wonder, old stone courts, and small kingdoms where time moves gently and every corner holds a secret.
Simple to Start. Hard to Stop.
No equipment needed. No special skills required. Just curiosity, a phone, and a willingness to actually show up.
