You Have to Find a Shoe to Turn Off Your Alarm?

The Household Item Hunt Mission

Have you ever been scrolling through short-form videos and spotted people running around their homes every morning looking for random objects? What they're doing is Alarmy's Household Item Hunt mission.

Household Item Hunt is a creative twist on Alarmy's most popular photo mission. When your alarm goes off, you have to take a photo of a randomly selected item to dismiss it. Since its launch, the feature has been a massive hit with users around the world.

Some short-form videos featuring this mission have racked up over 1 million views, and certain clips have even drawn more than 1,000 comments. Here are a few examples.

1.Ever imagined an alarm you can only turn off by finding a book?

2.This alarm requires borrowing your bearded friend to shut it off.

3.An alarm you need a dog to dismiss? This takes wake-up missions to a whole new level.

How AI Recognizes Objects

This wake-up mission is powered by AI. When you point your camera at an object, an object recognition algorithm automatically determines whether it matches the assigned item. That's why Alarmy's developers also call it the "AI Mission."

What If the Item Isn't in Your Home?

Custom Settings and Re-Roll

"What if the alarm picks something I don't have at home?" No worries -- Alarmy has two solutions built in.

• Custom Settings: You can handpick the list of items yourself. Just select objects you actually have at home.
• Re-Roll: If the randomly chosen item doesn't work for you, hit the re-roll button to swap it for a different one.

Because a different item comes up each time, it's impossible to dismiss your alarm on autopilot. If you're the type who turns off alarms without even opening your eyes, this mission will definitely get you out of bed.

When you start each morning on a mini treasure hunt for random items, waking up can actually become enjoyable. If you're looking for a fresh way to break through sleep inertia and kick off your day, give the Household Item Hunt mission a try on Alarmy.
