The city is the game board.

Map of History is our geolocated AR adventure format: the city becomes the board, and players scan, decipher and move through a story at real places. We adapt it into adventures for city councils, broadcasters and brands.

The series runs from 1 to 8, starting with a first adventure in 2015: it has taken children across Madrid's 21 districts at Christmas, continued an RTVE Playz series in El Retiro and spread over the markets and beaches of Mallorca. Its hero is drawn in eleven thematic variants, the engine has grown from LibGDX to Unity to Unreal Engine with ARCore, ARKit and WebAR, and the format made the Top 100 of the Santander X Global Award.
