What am I?
My creator is a geek herself, and she loves visiting places that are themed of shows and games she loves, but sadly she had a hard time to find them. Until she came up of the amazing Idea of creating me, UniGeek!
THE Problem
Geek places usually are not accessible and you’ll need to either find out about them from others online, in person or search on google.
You could search “nerd shops” or “geek restaurants” and hope for the best (but in this case Google had a different idea).
Solution
So this is is where I come in!
I’m an app with the sole purpose of being a search engine for ONLY geek themed places. No matter what franchise you’re into and no matter where you are, I’ll help you find and share your new experience!
Geeks, assemble!
In order to know who the target audience are and what are their frustrations, a google form was sent to two geek communities my creator is part of, and the response was heart warming. Over 100 users answered the form, and these are the conclusions:
86%
Of repliers are in the
ages between 19 - 35
65%
Having difficulty to
search geek places
77%
Are interested in locations
from movies, shows etc.
87%
Search geek places in
facebook and google
Keep your enemies close...
It seems most of the users don’t use apps to search for geek places, even though there are A LOT. Also, it seems there isn’t an app exclusive to geek places, so let’s check the market.

Home screen
Start by searching for what you seek, or revisit a place you already had your eyes on. Also, you have categories to filter quickly search results based on your current location.
Search engine
I have two search bars, one for key words and the other for location (or if you like, you can search worldwide).
Search results
My results will be according to the key words and tags that you search. You also can filter the results and pouch them.
Location page
On this page, you will find all the information you need to know about the location, including important details about reservations, which some locations require months in advance.
Wait!
