What To Expect
Help! Big Tech has invaded Austin and is threatening to turn this former bastion of hippie weirdness into a sterile, boring Genericsville, USA! We need your help to save the city from the evil owls and their secret agents - before it’s too late!
You’ll begin at a picturesque park where you’ll launch your quest in our app. After a quick warmup, you’ll stake out a hidden gem of a breathtaking treehouse that many locals don’t even know about. During your quest, you’ll find the tiniest park imaginable, accessorize your avatar in real life, find a hidden world in an indie book shop, lurk (safely) on a rooftop, and use your imagination to improv various shenanigans as the ridiculous story unfolds.
You’ll interact with locals along the way if you wish as well as with the scenery itself as you blur the lines between fiction and reality, collect virtual treasures, laugh out loud while accepting a variety of wacky challenges, explore one of the funkier pockets of downtown Austin, live like a local, and ultimately save the city! Join us for a truly unique, immersive, GPS-enabled augmented reality experience. Feel like the star of your own next gen video game! Watch out, Austin!
