Discover Valencia through an interactive augmented reality eco-hunt experience!
An Augmented Reality Eco-Hunt by Narratologies
Save the Seas in Valencia is an augmented reality eco-hunt by Narratologies that invites players to explore the city, complete missions, and discover how storytelling and sustainability can come together in a fun and interactive way.
The Story, Poseidon, and the Sustainability Message
The experience follows a story inspired by the protection of the seas and the role cities can play in promoting more sustainable habits. Players step into a mission led by Poseidon and move through Valencia while solving challenges, discovering places, and engaging with an environmental message.
The route transforms the city into a game board where exploration, teamwork, and learning come together. Instead of receiving a passive message about sustainability, players experience it through action and play.
As they progress, players collect virtual waste, complete missions, and take part in challenges that highlight environmental responsibility. This approach makes the message more active, memorable, and engaging.
AR and Immersive Tech
Technology is central to the experience. Through the Narratologies app, players receive tasks, move through the route, and interact with digital elements placed in the urban environment.
Augmented reality adds another layer to the city by blending the real and the virtual. It creates a more immersive experience and encourages players to observe their surroundings while staying engaged with the story.
This combination of digital storytelling and location-based exploration turns Valencia into an interactive experience that connects play with place.
Eco-Shops, Gems and Rewards
As players progress through the game, they collect gems that can be exchanged for rewards at participating eco-shops. This connects the digital experience with local businesses and gives players a reason to discover more of the city.
