Tourism at the Edge of Reality. An AR game that Will Turn Your Travel Into a Fantasy Blockbuster
The FairyWorld team has developed a no-code platform for building games and quests in augmented reality. Based on the platform, we created our first AR game — "Fairyland. The Treasures of Georgia". In this article we will tell what the game idea is and how it will help travelers make their trip to Tbilisi unforgettable.
4 in 1: Mobile AR Game, Interactive Map, Digital Guide, Live Photo and Video Creation App
In the game "Fairyland. The Treasures of Georgia” users will follow the optimal tourist route through the sights of Tbilisi, get acquainted with the cultural values of the country through quests and an audio guide, win prizes and get a video about their adventures in augmented reality.
The application has a built-in map on which game locations and quests are marked. The user walks around the city, enjoys the beauty of Tbilisi, goes through quests and listens to information about the history and culture of Georgia. On the smartphone screen, players will see the real landscape of the city, overlaid with 3D objects and characters from the magical world. The atmosphere of Georgia sets you in a fabulous mood, and walking around Tbilisi together with fantastic creatures and picturesque Georgians will be even more interesting.
Each quest contains a special task for creating photos and videos. Assistant from the Fairy World — Photogrych, will give you advice on a good angle and pose for a photo. At the end of the game, the user will get a clip with the highlights of his Georgian tour.
Become an Argonaut of the 21st Century. Explore Tbilisi in an Alternate Universe and Find Hidden Treasures
According to the plot of the game, a magician from the Fairy World was transferred to Georgia. The sorcerer became fond of this country and people, and decided to conclude his knowledge of the wonderful country in magical flowers. Only the most worthy and pure-hearted people can solve the secrets and find the treasures of Georgia. To do this, they must find fabulous plants and help the wizard's friends.
"Fairyland. The Treasures of Georgia” is a complete immersion in a magical world where you become the main Hero of your own fantasy story. You travel around Tbilisi, discover the national treasures of Georgia, meet fantastic characters and collect artifacts. At the same time, all the magic happens before your eyes — enchanted flowers bloom in the Tbilisi recreation park, a crystal of power flickers on the shining Bridge of Peace, and fantastic CatFlowers scatter around the historical monument.
You will not only watch the magic. In each quest, you will literally touch the magic. The game includes the following tasks:
• searching for magic words and casting spells;
• learning the magical art of music and dance;
• search and activation of secret signs and keys;
• capturing escaped fantastical creatures and searching for lost ancient artifacts;
• making collections from found items;
• creating legendary photos and videos.
AR technologies will bring magic and fantasy heroes into our world, make magic and fairy tales real. And in the center of this alternative universe you will find yourself — a powerful hero, an adventurer and treasure seeker.
May Every Hero Be Rewarded According to His Deeds
In each fairy tale, the hero obtains a well-deserved reward: a princess, half a kingdom, treasures and the recognition of all the lieges of the kingdom. Heroes of the game "Fairyland. The Treasures of Georgia" will end their adventures in Tbilisi with wealth.
For completing each quest, you will get the in-game coins — crystallari. For them, you can buy amplifiers and artifacts, open access to closed tasks and levels, and also exchange them for real and digital prizes.
You can also win extra bonuses:
- gifts from the company;
- prizes from partners and advertisers, discounts on products and services;
- souvenirs, merch of the company and partners;
- the main prize is an adventure blockbuster where you will play the lead role.
In addition, users compete for a place in the leaderboard and additional super prizes. Top players will get special awards from the company and partners.
Why Do We Call Fairyland a Gaming Tour?
A samurai has just one path, while an inquisitive traveler has at least three of them: sign up for a group tour, hire a personal guide, or explore the area on his own.
Each choice has its pros and cons.
- On a group tour, you will have to take the speed of the whole company and fight for a place in the sun trying not to miss information from your guide.
- A good private tour guide is expensive. At the same time, finding a professional is a real challenge.
- Going on a trip without a guide, we run the risk of missing out on a lot of interesting things or simply getting lost.
Most of the proven tours are sold through travel agencies. It means that we shall spend +20% of the tour cost as a commission. Wouldn’t it be better to spend this money on a chic lunch at a Georgian restaurant?
The game "Fairyland. The Treasures of Georgia” will become a pocket guide and navigator for the guests of Tbilisi. The problem of choice is solved — you investigate the city and the history of the country independently, at a price 3 times lower than the average cost of a city tour. And in addition you play educational AR quests and win prizes.
