A family activity in a shopping centre, played as a game

A family day in a shopping centre works when there is a reason to walk to the next shop. Game Is Serious writes that reason as a story families follow on a phone.

What a centre usually prints

  • A flyer.
  • A treasure map with no story.
  • A host who has to stand in the atrium all day.

What the visit is

  • Three to eight stops, each at a shop you choose.
  • A phone browser. No app, no sign-up.
  • English and German.
  • It stays open with no one hosting.
  • A new story for Easter, summer or Advent.
  • You get print files for the QR signs.

Who builds it

200+ facilitated sessions since 2016, and public games that ran for weeks with no host.

Frequently asked questions

Do families install an app?

No. They open a link, or scan a QR code that points at it.
