The mystical app Randonautica describes itself as “the world’s first quantumly generated Choose Your Own Adventure reality game.” It invites you, the user, to set an intention for your quest before running off toward your coordinates. The idea is that you will manifest that intention during your journey, which is to say, while “randonauting.” It's become a viral sensation on TikTok. It also led a group of teens in the Northwest to a dead body.
