Customer

Science World at Telus World of Science is a charitable organisation that engages British Columbians in science and inspires future science and technology leadership throughout the province.

Challenge

Science World wanted a mobile game that would encourage guests to interact with the exhibit “Zoom Into Nano” exploring and discovering hidden “Nano” items that are invisible to the eye. The game was designed so guests would actively use their phones in a way that enhanced the experience instead of being a distraction.

Solution

Science World used BLE beacons and the Locatify platform to create an interactive educational “Zoom into Nano” themed scavenger hunt game inside the museum.

The team had the ingenious idea of using transparent images over a digital floor map so the treasure locations would be invisible to the player who would then have to explore the exhibit with the beacons automatically triggering the challenges.

The Process

Quick setup, thoughtfully chosen templates and an easy to use content management system makes it easy for anyone to get an app.

Locatify TurfHunt App

The client chose to use the shared Locatify TurfHunt treasure hunt app.

Locatify Creator CMS Features

This app used the indoor project with BLE Beacons. This project was very creative as the designer hid the stations/challenges on the floor map using transparent images.

Customisation

The client created a floor map graphic and transparent PNG images which were overlaid on the floor map as stations, but invisible to the user until they approached an iBeacon to trigger the challenge.

App Store & Play Store

The app is available to download for free on both Android and iOS devices from the Locatify App Store and Locatify Play Store.
