Reach your Community

The world is facing big challenges, from climate change to inequality. Games give communities a safe space to explore “what ifs,” spark ideas, practice solutions, and take action together.

We work with cities, charities, museums, researchers, and community groups to turn big ideas into bite-sized, hands-on experiences that last far beyond the screen.

we don't just follow trends... we set them

Geo AR has been part of the games for change movement since the beginning. When councils introduced Magical Park, families experienced the world’s first geolocated augmented reality playground, turning public parks into fun adventures long before it became mainstream. The technology and vision behind it showed communities what was possible. Since then, forward-thinking partners have continued to use our expertise in accessible gaming, social impact design, and data-driven simulations to create projects with lasting positive impact.

 

If you are ready to explore bold ideas, we would love to work with you to build something that makes a real difference.

I think Magical Park is brilliant, especially for those with autism. Cameron is 9; he's not one to go out and socialise. Today, we saw him interacting with other children, which is brilliant.

In a world saturated with information, fostering meaningful community engagement and inspiring action can be a challenge. At Geo AR, we're leveraging the proven power of gamified experiences to drive impactful change. By immersing participants in interactive digital experiences, we create a dynamic learning environment where complex concepts come to life. This allows individuals to explore, experiment, and understand cause and effect, fostering a deeper connection to crucial topics, from climate change & disaster preparedness to history, science & nature all through accessible digital solutions. We believe in the transformative power of technology and are dedicated to making a positive impact on communities.

Empowering Change Through Gamified Experiences

Our approach focuses on sustainability and app recycling, utilising the power of gamification to make education relatable and enjoyable. By building upon our existing apps, we save costs, maximizing our resources efficiently. Together, we can tap into the existing allure of gamified experiences, empowering communities to adopt behaviours that lead to a brighter future.
