The 'Discovr.y' AR Exploration Game Pinpoints New City Experiences

The app works by having players move around their city to explore landmarks they might have overlooked, leave reviews for other users to read and earn rewards in the process. This helps to encourage real world gaming and activity amongst gamers by having them walk farther, stay healthy and interact with others nearby.

The 'Discovr.y' AR exploration app provides users with access to advanced life stats like how far they've traveled in a day and more to encourage them to push further each day.

2. Real World Gaming - Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Creating games that motivate players to walk, stay healthy, and engage with others nearby.
