A fun and interactive way to explore Brisbane’s architecture and history

ABOUT

XPLORE is an educational mobile application that encourages users to explore the rich history of Brisbane.

What Is This?

Our Concept

This idea centres around a QR code-based exploration that encourages architectural and historical appreciation in the Brisbane area. Users are presented with optional locations to investigate.

 

Participants not only engage with Brisbane's architecture by exploring the sites, but by listening to stories, reading fun facts and challenging themselves with some quick quizzes. This fun and engaging system will encourage locals and visitors to explore the architecture and history of Brisbane in a unique and affordable way.

How It Works?

  • Site visitors will travel through the area and explore what space has to offer, whilst looking for the codes.

 

  • When the codes are scanned, users are presented with information, videos or quiz questions for them to engage with.

 

  • When all codes are scanned and activities are completed they will be presented with virtual stickers that correlate with the theme of the site. These can be used through iMessage and WhatsApp Messenger to commemorate their experience.

 

  • From here the player can continue to visit more sites and experience the architecture of Brisbane through this interactive game.

​​

  • Once all sites are complete around the city, users will be awarded a virtual certificate to commemorate their efforts. If they would like to receive a hard version of their certificate and stickers they would then pay a small fee, in order to collect them in the mail.
