Turn Every Visit into a Wild Adventure with Agents of Discovery

At your zoo or aquarium, the goal is to inspire, educate, and create memorable experiences for your visitors. Agents of Discovery offers a unique way to engage learners of all ages by turning your exhibits and public spaces into interactive adventures. Through augmented reality-based games, visitors can embark on self-guided Missions that encourage exploration, critical thinking, and connection with the animals and ecosystems they encounter.

What sets this experience apart is the AI-driven support within the platform. It’s there to answer visitors’ questions in real-time, offering additional insights and information about the exhibits, animals, and conservation efforts. This helps to elevate the educational experience, providing immediate, accurate responses that spark deeper curiosity and understanding, without requiring extra staff to be on hand.

Whether you’re showcasing a new habitat, emphasizing the importance of conservation, or highlighting the unique stories of endangered species, Agents of Discovery allows you to create immersive learning environments that adapt to each visitor’s interests and pace. By guiding learners through meaningful, interactive Challenges, the platform supports your mission to foster a deeper connection between your visitors and the natural world. It’s all about making your programming engaging, accessible, and enriching for everyone.

“The Agents of Discovery platform is used to not only engage guests, but enhance their experience while they’re visiting the Aquarium and Museum. It is a way to redirect and point them to encourage them to look at and focus on things that they are seeing in the museum while they are visiting.”

Challenges

Every Mission is made up of Challenges. Challenges are questions which are location-based and safely placed wherever the Mission Manager chooses. There is a variety of types (AR Picker, Image 50/50, Sound Matcher, and others). Challenges also include Pre-Challenge information and Post-Challenge information to extend/enhance the players’ learning experiences.

 

Missions

Different “Missions” (or “games”) are published to the Agents of Discovery mobile app. These are created by Agents of Discovery “Mission Managers” and are specific to their site (e.g. a park, museum, or similar). Once players are physically present at a participating location (e.g. Griffith Park in Los Angeles), they can play the Mission. Each Mission consists of a map of the location, a Field Agent to guide players, location-based “Challenges” (or “questions”) and rewards. Players unlock and solve the Challenges through exploration of the site.
