Lucky Charms

When one of the longest running cereal brands asks you to create a family-friendly outdoor AR game, you make sure it’s magical.

The Challenge

Sometimes making things simple is the hardest challenge of all. The Magic Gems game needed to:

  • Be easy for anyone to pick up
  • Be played outside
  • Magically bring night mode to a daytime experience.

The Solution

A scavenger hunt! And for this particular one, we utilized a vertical dark mode overlay that, via AR, transformed the real world (through users’ cameras) into a magical dark version.

We used a player’s GPS and Google maps to help them find a safe park to walk around while searching for their virtual charms.
