5th Street "FunQuest" Scenario Possibilities

Billy Bob

Billy Bob is walking from his fraternity on 5th Street to Tech Square. While approaching the bridge, he notices a placard that he had read earlier about a new Augmented Reality phone app for the bridge. He remembers having downloaded the app that day, so he loads it up on his phone and is greeted with on-screen message with simple instructions about how to use the app. After reading them, he scans the area with his phone and focuses on a nearby, obvious tag. He walks towards it, and once he gets closer enough the phone flashes the text "Marker Found!", which quickly changes to a fun fact about the bride (such as, "Did you know it cost 10 million dollars to build the bridge you are standing on?"). He reads it, laughs, and begins looking for the next tag. He notices a nearby tag, and soon the alert text flashes again followed by a mini-game that takes advantage of his position and location (for example, he stands facing the center of the road and plays Frogger on the app. He plays until his frog is hit by a car and explodes). Finally, he finds one last tag, which turns out to be a coupon for a restaurant near the bridge (like Tin Drum or Moe's). With that, he turns off the app and heads to lunch.
