iPhone
Snap a plate and we'll name the design. Collect all 50 states and Canada's 13 provinces and territories, earn stickers, and build your ride in the Garage.
Snap a license plate and PlateQuest tells you which design it is. Every drive becomes an adventure, and your collection grows one state at a time.
HOW IT WORKS
Point your camera at any license plate and snap. PlateQuest reads the state right off the plate, and each catch is checked against the design catalog before it joins your collection. No typing, no guesswork.
COLLECT ALL 50 STATES
Every state you capture lights up on your map. Chase the full 50-state set on road trips, daily commutes, or parking-lot strolls — every drive becomes a chance to find the one you're missing.
AND CANADA, TOO
Canada gets an atlas of its own: all 13 provinces and territories, from the Maritimes to the bear-shaped plates of the North. Catch a Canadian plate at home or across the border and it counts toward Canada.
BUILD YOUR PLATE ATLAS
Beyond states, PlateQuest knows the designs: standard plates, specialty editions, and the artwork that makes each one unique. Your atlas tracks every distinct design you've ever caught, from classics to rarities.
SPOTTING DAYS & MILESTONES
Every day you catch a plate counts, and a break between trips never costs you one. Milestones celebrate the big moments — your 10th state, your 25th, and the full 50.
MADE FOR ROAD TRIPS
PlateQuest is the passenger-seat game your family already plays, upgraded. Kids call out plates, someone snaps the photo, and the collection grows together. Start a Road Trip and every catch joins its story; when you're home, share a recap card of the states you reached and your best find. (Spotters ride shotgun — never play while driving.)
EARN STATE STICKERS
Every state and province you catch earns a sticker for your book. Find more designs to upgrade it from bronze to silver to gold, and complete a region to win a roof topper for your car.
BUILD YOUR RIDE IN THE GARAGE
Design your traveler and the car they drive — hair, hats, outfits, paint, wheels, roof gear, a co-pilot and the road you cruise. Some options unlock as you play, and you can pin your favorite stickers to the car.
PRIVACY FIRST
PlateQuest is about plate designs, not vehicles or people. We don't read or store plate numbers as text, we never track your location, and there are no ads and no data sales. Photos are used only to confirm designs and improve recognition.
PLATEQUEST PRO
A single optional one-time unlock — no subscription, ever. Pro adds multiple plate designs per state, the full specialty-plate catalog, design stats, custom plate text for your car, and no daily capture limit. The core game, every state and province, is free forever.
Buckle up, eyes on the road signs — your atlas is waiting.
