BikeTag is a mystery photo tagging game played on bicycles — part scavenger hunt, part urban adventure, and always a great excuse to ride. Players find the location shown in a photo (the “tag”), snap their own picture at the same spot, and then post a new photo from somewhere else in the city for the next player to chase.
You don’t need an account to play — just a bike, a camera, and a good eye. BikeTag.Org makes it easy to browse recent tags in your city and jump into the game whenever you’re ready.
The origins of BikeTag trace back to 2007 on a Minneapolis forum called MPLSBikeLove. From there, it spread across Reddit, with games popping up in Austin (/r/BikingATX), Los Angeles (/r/bikeLA), Chicago (/r/chibike), and Portland (/r/CyclePDX). BikeTag.org was launched in 2018 to support the growing Portland game, and has since become a hub for games around the world.
BikeTag continues to grow through community creativity and the joy of riding bikes through familiar — and unfamiliar — places.

A BikeTag is a photo taken at a public location that becomes the next target in the game of BikeTag — a bicycle-based photo scavenger hunt. Players ride to the spot shown in the current tag, take a matching photo, and post a new one to keep the game going.
Each BikeTag is part of a chain of photos that encourages exploration, creativity, and community through cycling. You can view recent BikeTags on the map, try to find the current one, or start a new game in your own city.

The BikeTag Project was started in 2018 as a way to make playing the game of BikeTag easy for anyone and everyone to play the game of BikeTag.
Since then, we’ve built tools and features that make it simple for people to join in, whether you’re riding solo or playing with friends in your local bike community. The app is designed to help you find active games in your city, see the latest tags, and jump right into the action — no login required.
We’ve kept things lightweight and free so that anyone with a bike and a sense of adventure can play. Whether you're chasing the current tag or just browsing great bike photos from around town, BikeTag is a fun, easy way to explore your city on two wheels.

BikeTag now lets players create a profile using simple social logins — no passwords, no hassle. Your profile reserves your unique BikeTag name and keeps track of the tags you've posted and found across games.
Ambassadors (the folks helping run local games) can also log in to access admin tools for approving new tags and keeping the game flowing smoothly.
