About AiR — Adventure in Reality
Considering the current development status of global metaverse games, several games based on Play-to-Earn and NFT creation still lack differentiation and standardization. AiR aims to transcend the virtual and real worlds, transforming each user’s life into an extraordinary adventure. In this paradigm, the game no longer solely exists on digital screens; instead, the real world becomes an integral part of the gameplay.
In AiR, users no longer merely control virtual characters to execute actions or complete tasks in a purely virtual world. Instead, they directly assume the roles of exclusive characters that transcend both the real and virtual domains. AiR users can acquire virtual items through real-world actions and seamlessly integrate them into the virtual realm. Similarly, they can obtain virtual items within the metaverse and exchange them for corresponding physical rewards in the real world.
AiR — Adventure In Reality, combines mobile gaming with the real world, empowering users to embark on grand adventures through a mobile application. Leveraging mobile devices, networks, terminals, and VR devices, users can explore different locations in the real world, connect to various game scenes via QR codes, and enter AiR’s metaverse. Moreover, they can engage in creation, exploration, adventure, and trading within the virtual world, earning virtual currencies, NFTs, and even physical rewards.
AiR offers a comprehensive metaverse adventure experience that seamlessly bridges the virtual and real worlds, providing users with limitless possibilities. This is AiR!

AiR’s Hong Kong Ecosystem Case Studies
Recently, AiR has collaborated with many well-known brands, large shopping malls, theme parks and other entities. These collaborations have injected more vitality and creativity into AiR’s ecosystem, allowing users to experience unprecedented joy and excitement.
In addition to collaborations with businesses, AiR has also collaborated with the fan clubs of a local famous boyband to create celebrity IPs and gamify them within the ecosystem. After the game was launched, it successfully attracted a large number of fans, becoming one of their favorite game plays. These collaborations not only allow fans to better understand and love their idols, but also bring more customers and traffic to businesses, creating a creative and vibrant ecosystem together.
Collaboration with Shopping Malls to Launch Hong Kong-based Metaverse Projects
AiR has partnered with more than ten major shopping malls to introduce captivating metaverse projects, which have generated an enthusiastic response from the public. In one collaboration, AiR joined forces with a shopping mall and a popular local NFT series, seamlessly bridging the virtual and real worlds through an offline-to-online (O2O) model. Users simply need to download the AiR Metaverse app and scan the QR codes within the venue to enter the metaverse’s immersive realm of the beloved NFT series and engage in thrilling gaming experiences. During this period, all NFTs available for purchase at the limited store quickly sold out.
AiR also embarked on another collaboration with a different shopping mall to launch an extraordinary interactive beauty event. The event provided users with an unparalleled beauty experience, blending elements of entertainment and leisure. It introduced innovative 3D NFT technology to a select group of customers, enabling them to experience a distinctive sales approach while delighting in the event. The event garnered resounding success, leading to a substantial increase in foot traffic for the mall, reaching an impressive 20% surge.
AiR’s ultimate ambition is to establish a captivating metaverse ecosystem that encompasses the entirety of Hong Kong, creating an immersive gamified experience for all.
AiR Collaborates with Hong Kong’s Largest Theme Park to Launch Halloween Edition AiR Citizen NFTs
AiR has collaborated with a theme park to launch a virtual and real-world game for Halloween events, using the Online + Offline (O+O) concept in the park and incorporating mission-based game elements.
After users download and launch the AiR app, they can hunt for spiritual symbols and seal the ghost king in the app’s “world” while navigating through a number sites. The first 44 users to successfully seal the ghost king each day will receive a limited edition Halloween AiR Citizen NFT, for future “play to earn” purposes. After becoming an AiR Citizen, users can participate in games or missions through the AiR app and maintain contact with businesses, which is a great help for future business promotions.
AiR’s goal is to turn “players” in the metaverse into real “users” by turning Web2.0 users who use their phones for daily internet use into Web3.0 users who enter the metaverse through AiR, making metaverse life an indispensable part of daily life.
(The first NFT issued in partnership between a large theme park and the AiR Metaverse)
Currently, AiR is actively preparing to launch its Metaverse-as-a-Service (Maas) plan, which will allow small and medium-sized enterprises to access the metaverse at a low cost and expand into overseas markets, bringing partners from different sectors and industries into the AiR ecosystem.
