There is surely a monument you pass by every day - on your way to work or in the park nearby where you regularly go out for a beer with friends. Do you know who the monument is for? Have you ever looked at the inscription on it? Do you know anything about the person or the event it commemorates? If the answer to any of these questions is "no", we offer you an easy and fun way to change that - an augmented reality quest game.
The new AR app offers city quests with augmented reality that can now be played not only in Sofia, but also in Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Ruse and Veliko Tarnovo. These interactive games take you on an unusual walk that turns into a real adventure full of twists and tricky riddles. And to make it even more interesting, augmented reality lets you find objects scattered around the city with the help of a radar. You can collect the AR objects, combine them to get something new and use them to solve the riddles.
Besides having fun with the augmented reality city quests, you can also learn something new. Do you know, for example, which is the oldest monument in Sofia? Or where the Trabant monument is? Or what animals are on the Momotaro monument in Plovdiv? Or the name of the only woman with a memorial plaque in the Alley of Cosmonauts in the Sea Garden of Varna? And have you heard of Nikola Voyvodov, who gathered a band of rebels and landed with a ship in Ruse years before Botev did the same on the ship Radetzky? You can learn these and many other interesting facts while having fun with friends in a world of augmented reality. The facts are woven into the story in an interesting and fun way and are part of the solutions of the riddles.
Interactive augmented reality city quests will take you to new, unknown places, often just metres from the main streets, show you familiar sights in a new light, make you look differently at the monuments and buildings you pass by every day, and little by little help you get to know your city better - and maybe even love it more!
Download the app and set off on the adventure!
