Copernicus challenge
Gamifying a festival
The first Create X festival in 2016 was based around showcasing technology, art and culture. The Copernicus Challenge brought a unique aspect to the festival as the game spanned the festival, taking players into spaces and places they may not have otherwise explored.

The Challenge: to create a game based expereince that showcased different areas of art and culture while directing players to spaces they may not have otherwise seen.
How it worked: Players were orientated to the game in a themed orientation tent. They chose their stream and entered the game through a particular doorway (literally). They then navigated their way to different parts of the festival where art and gaming collided in challenges and characters.
The result: The experience ran through the day, including groups of friends, parents, kids and solo players.
