Collection credit requires using Vistory while you are physically within 25 meters of the marker. A QR can identify a marker, but possession alone does not earn credit.
A collectible historical icon unlocks instantly with a verified narrative. Your discovery is added to your collection and shared with your group in real time.
Group members see your discovery instantly — even those who couldn't be there. React, celebrate, and plan your next visit together.
Two tiers of collectible icons recognize how you made the discovery — and Group Finds keeps your whole group connected.
Awarded to the first member of your group to reach a marker. The pioneer. The trailblazer. Gold is earned, never given.
Earned by every group member who visits in person — whether before or after someone else has been there. Your visit. Your icon.
When a teammate reaches a marker before you, it's added to your trips under Group Finds — so you stay connected to the discovery and have every reason to go earn the icon in person yourself.
"Away at college. Deployed overseas. Recovering from surgery. Couldn't make the trip. When your group discovers a place without you, Vistory adds it to your trips and keeps you in the moment — with every reason to go see it yourself."The Human Story Behind Vistory

Vistory is a GPS-based historical tourism app for iPhone and Android. When you physically visit a historical marker, GPS proximity unlocks a collectible historical icon with a verified narrative about that location. Think of it as Pokémon Go for history lovers and families.
Vistory awards collection credit only when you use the app while physically within 25 meters of a historical marker. The server checks the visit; scanning or possessing a QR code away from the marker does not earn credit.
When a member of your group reaches a marker you haven't — whether you're deployed overseas, away at college, recovering from illness, or simply couldn't make the trip — Vistory adds that place to your trips under Group Finds. It's how the group keeps you connected and included, and gives you every reason to go collect the history in person yourself. You earn the icon when you make the visit.
Authorized Vistory History Partners can verify historical markers. Verified Markers have that institutional confirmation. Preview Markers are published historical places whose institutional verification is still pending; Preview does not mean the place is fake or invalid.
