Location-Based Rewards

A New Way to Support Local Business Through Gamification

Our mobile app helps local businesses recover from COVID-19's impact by turning everyday activities into rewarding experiences. Users earn virtual coins based on their location and behaviour, which they can redeem for valuable offers from local shops and services.

How It Works

The app uses GPS, geofencing and motion detection to reward users when they're within about 20 metres of designated hotspots. These coins can be exchanged for partner coupons from local businesses, entertainment venues, health services and more. Users can also compete with nearby players, earn achievements and share their progress with friends.
