The client's business need was to increase engagement and foot traffic in the mall. The mall also wanted to promote its brands and partners, and to create a more memorable and enjoyable experience for visitors.
The application presents a diverse and extensive selection of games, catering to the discerning preferences of its customers.

One noteworthy feature, the “Under-Table” Mode, significantly enhances the flexibility of the customer experience. This innovative functionality liberates patrons from the confines of the mall premises, granting them the freedom to partake in their chosen games from virtually any location, rather than being restricted solely to the mall environment.
The application showcases an impressive integration of technology by presenting a live map that precisely pinpoints the locations of all available games. This dynamic feature adds a layer of excitement as it triggers interactive scenarios tailored to each game, seamlessly activated when a customer arrives at a designated location.

This not only streamlines the user experience but also showcases a commitment to user-friendly design and seamless functionality.
Through the successful completion of a diverse array of challenges and participation in a variety of games, patrons have the opportunity to amass points. These points hold the potential to unlock noteworthy prizes, adding a layer of excitement and motivation to the user experience that extends beyond mere entertainment.
Notably, the app goes beyond conventional offerings by incorporating real-time strategy (RTS) gameplay. This strategic element is seamlessly woven into the app’s fabric, providing users with the chance to engage in thoughtful decision-making and tactical planning. What’s more, the inclusion of action visualization directly onto the interactive map elevates the experience further, granting users a visual representation of the strategic maneuvers they undertake.
The application delivers an unparalleled and immersive Extended Reality (XR) experience that transcends traditional boundaries. This feature encompasses an amalgamation of advanced technologies, including spatial audio and haptic feedback, synergistically converging to create a multisensory encounter that engages users on a profoundly visceral level.
Complementing spatial audio, the integration of haptic feedback adds yet another layer of sensory engagement. Users can not only hear but also physically sense and feel the virtual environment through tactile vibrations and feedback. This intricate interplay between visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli culminates in an XR experience that defies convention, capturing the essence of presence and transporting users to a realm where the boundaries between reality and virtuality blur.
