CoinHunt looks like a seriously fun idea that has the potential to attract a lot of users. I know you are still in the beginning stages of the game, but if you ever want to discuss market strategy and monetization, I would love to.
I was one of the original business engagement consultants with Niantic/Nintendo America on Pokemon Go. I helped develop a lot of the materials we used to sell businesses on paid sponsoring of in game events, private pokestops, etc.
And weirdly, i've done a lot of modern treasure hunt adventure design.
Don't want anything from you. Don't need a job. Just sounds like a fun project.
Best of luck,
Cali

Hi All, Thanks for these great questions, answered below.
Also, you can always find the two founders (Bill: Kookoopuffs & Jeroen: Illusionsweaver)on the Discord server here: https://discord.com/invite/MBQYRRD , drop by if you have any additional questions!
Why are you creating this game?
Our goal with Coinhunt.world is to help educate the world about crypto by getting it into their hands in a fun way & help alleviate some of the financial difficulties people and businesses are struggling with now, especially in the time of covid
What's the business model for this game?
Our game makes revenue in 3 ways:
1) we sell some exclusive cosmetic items for your avatar (crafting recipes)
2) we will charge token teams who want to use our platform to educate users about their tokens
3) marketing programs with businesses including brick and mortar ones that can take advantage of our foot traffic
Will you have non crypto payment options?
We are focused on crypto right now
Any later benefits for beta testing now?
Absolutely:
1)there will be avatar crafting blueprints that will only drop during the beta
2)Players will be able to take ownership of vaults, giving them a kickback of all rewards that that vault pays out to other players. Early adopters will be able to claim the most famous hotspots in the world before anyone else claims them
When the game will be open for all users?
The game will go into open beta for Android/iOS before the end of the year

I'm with VOD played ingress for a while. Also enjoy geocaching.
But, as davis196 asked, what is your revenue plan?
Ads? Selling our geo-tracking info? Selling stuff in the game?
Will you have non crypto payment options?
Any later benefits for beta testing now?

Running around the city just to get a few satoshis doesn't seem like a very interesting game to me. 
What seems to be more interesting to me is the business model behind the game.
How the game developer will make money/BTC in order to pay out the rewards?
Is it going to be via in-game ads or via in-game micropayments and upgrades?
When the game will be open for all users?

That is great. Geo location games on their own are extremely funny. Add some earnings to it, it becomes so addictive.

I played Ingress for many years - I love geolocation games. 
Is this your service, or are you just promoting it?

Hi all!
Coinhunt (https://coinhunt.world) is a geo-location based free to play mobile game. It’s basically similar to Pokémon Go but instead of searching your neighborhoods for Pokémon you look for Vaults. If you can open these vaults you get rewarded with small amounts of Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Currently Coinhunt is in closed beta so you need to jump through a couple of hoops to get inside. Here is a guide on how to access the game today:
Step 1: Join the CoinHunt Discord server

In the CoinHunt discord server you can chat with the devs and other players
This step is optional but since the game is in closed beta the devs really appreciate your feedback. Also you can give suggestions for cool spots to place vaults etc, so I would recommend joining.
Step 2: Fill in the beta application form
https://imgur.com/1k2I5sM
If you join the discord server you will be be given this link automatically but if you skipped step 1 you can find the form here : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeR_iVLH6c7YMnWt-pf5dBkES7Fy-QwzbqXExplELd9mT27aw/viewform.
Once you filled out the form you should receive an email with the next instructions in roughly 24 hours.
Step 3: Turn on beta access in Google Play & download app

Once you hit the become a tester button, you should be able to download the closed beta app from the google app-store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tech.posibillian.coinhunt&ah=qxye6rZfEZsAo1cZ0EY3PZVfstY (iOS beta coming soon)
Step 4: Launch the app
Once launched you can immediately start playing. Since this is a geo-location game the map will be different depending on your geographical location. Areas with higher urban densities will have more vaults then in the middle of nowhere. Local tourist hotpots will always be your best bet to find plenty of vaults to raid.
Step 5: Find keys

The first thing you need once you are in the game are keys. Keys are needed to open vaults. Keys are plentiful and if you rotate your camera around you should find some in your immediate area. Just walk up to the boxes with spinning keys on-top of them and tap it to grab the key. Keys re spawn in each location every 24 hours.
Step 6: Find a vault
https://imgur.com/tydXjWe
Vaults are a little harder to find but there are still plenty of them. They look like floating cubes with keyholes on each side. They have a column of light coming from the top so you can spot them from a distance. Tap on them to open.
Step 7: Open the vault
https://imgur.com/zWg89KC
Now be warned: once you open up a vault you have 30 seconds to answer a question. These can be random trivia questions but they could also be questions about the location you found the vault at. But don’t worry: if you get the answer wrong you can keep trying as long as you have keys left.
Step 8: grab the rewards!
https://imgur.com/8H4D7cM
Get the question right and prize boxes will drop from the ceiling! Tap them to collect the rewards inside. Sometimes you get Bitcoin (BTC), sometimes you get Ethereum (ETH).
That is all there is to it, happy hunting!
