Robot Hunt is a physically interactive game in which players at a conference can use their iOS device to scan for robots in the conference area.
The app, and the game require the players device to be connected to the internet in order to login and play.
Robots are personified by iBeacons. A players device will reveal a picture of a robot when they walk within range of an iBeacon designated to represent that robot.
Players then have a limited time to locate a four digit code on a nearby poster that shows a picture of the same robot. [ The posters are 8 feet tall and recognizable ]. Players need to enter the code into the robots chest on the device, in order to disrupt the robot and earn a disruption point.
Each disruption point will equate to a conference activity point.
No robots are harmed during gameplay ... just disrupted briefly.
The app was designed and is intended to be used at the upcoming IBM Insight 2015 [ October 25 – October 29 ] Conference, and will be evolved for other IBM conferences and events in the future.
