Build a Harry Potter’s Marauder’s Map-inspired app using PubNub BLOCKS.
The Marauder’s Map is a magical map that detects and shows realtime location of people. It only unlocks for the person with the correct password, and talks back to people who submit an incorrect password. The map also shows secret passageways and how to get through them, as well as the ability to identify people, countering any disguises that user may have. The map gives verbal feedback based on certain actions from the user. Wins £2.5K cash, £2.5K PubNub credit.
