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

Challenges are the games and activities that make up a Mission. It’s easy to make your own Challenges from scratch, or pick Challenges from our Challenge Library.

Missions
Missions are created by Mission Makers and are specific to each site or organization (ie: airports, parks, museums, stadiums, and other public places). Missions can be location-based (Play-on -Site) or Play-from-Anywhere. Each Mission has a 3D AI-powered Avatar to guide the players. Upon completing Missions, players are rewarded with digital and real-world prizes. Once Missions are downloaded, a WiFi or data connection is not required to play. Learn more about Making Missions.

AI-Powered Interactive Avatars
Bronze packages let you choose from any of our existing 3D avatars. With Silver, you can add up to three custom features. Gold, Platinum, and Titanium packages allow you to design a completely new custom avatar, which you can modify for special events and holidays. Platinum and Titanium include AI-Powered Avatars, which can respond to player questions in real time.
