Gamification - AR portals, mini-games and virtual scavenger hunts

By combining AR and gamification, developers and designers can create immersive and entertaining game experiences in the real world. Here are some examples of how they can work together:

1. AR portals:

AR portals are digital entrances or transitions embedded in the real world and created using augmented reality technology. Users can enter and interact in virtual environments through these portals. For example, AR portals could be placed in prominent locations in the real world, and when a user points their smartphone or AR glasses at them, they are transported into an AR game world or other virtual experience.

2. mini-games in AR:

Minigames in AR are small, standalone games or challenges embedded in the player's real-world environment. Players can play these games on their mobile devices or AR-enabled devices by using the environment around them. For example, these mini-games can be puzzles, riddles, collection games, or action games designed specifically for AR to link the gaming experience to the physical world.

3. virtual scavenger hunts:

Virtual scavenger hunts are modern versions of the classic scavenger hunt, where players use AR or other technologies to find and solve clues and tasks in the real world. Participants follow a series of clues hidden in various physical locations to reach the goal of the scavenger hunt. This type of activity can be both fun and educational and is often used in recreational and educational contexts.

4. learning applications:

Education and learning applications can use AR to integrate interactive learning content with the real world. Immersion in an AR-based learning environment can increase student interest and motivation,

5. AR-based marketing campaigns:

Companies can use AR gamification to engage customers in their promotions. For example, they could create AR scavenger hunts where customers find specific products in stores and receive virtual rewards.

With the help of WebAR the AR experiences can even be experienced without an app, directly in the smartphone browser.

Case studies:

At LEGOLAND Deutschland, AR can be used to bring the creatures of Lego MYTHICA to life. Visitors can use their smartphones to experience them in the real world.

With the help of AR, the M&Ms Music Lounge can be visited through a portal. There is a lot for users to explore, so they could compose their own beats, or create their own M&Ms.
