Urban Interactive
I just stumbled across Urban Interactive today. I think my friend Joy participated in one of their games a few months ago. It’s basically like a real-world quest game, where you try to accomplish tasks based on clues given to you on a mobile device. I think live actors are also interspersed throughout the experience to help move the story along. Kind of like a less intense version of one of my favorite movies, The Game. It looks like a lot of fun.
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the next big step in the world of entertainment. I think one area is going to be the merging of online, broadcast, and offline experiences and also the merging of entertainment across different sorts of platforms and devices. I think that there a big idea out there in this space.
