REWILD

ReWild is an alternate reality game combining enigma and hiking or biking, on the edge between virtual world and reality. It was launched in the summer 2012 and played until September 2015.

It aimed at developing hiking activities among young adults in the French mountains of the Rhône-Alpes region and to increase the territorial attactiveness of the natural parks involved in the project. The age of the core target was between 18 to 25 years.

Based on the initiative of the association Grande Traversée des Alpes including four natural regional parks (Bauges, Chartreuse, Haut-Jura and Vercors), this game has been designed and realized by Interactive 4D. ReWild was the first outdoor game in France to extend over such a large territory : the four regional parks of Bauges, Charteuse, Haut-Jura and Vercors as well as the cities of Chambéry, Grenoble, Aix-les-Bains and Bellegarde-sur-Valserine.

As a transmedia quest game based on many interconnections between the real world and a virtual one, ReWild used a large range of different media :

• A dedicated website,

• Smartphones (Android and iPhone/iPad mobile application, geolocation, augmented reality...)

• Objects to find in the real world (treasure chests -geocaching-, QR codes, posters...) 

• Interactions between the real world and fictional characters (via sms, phone messages, emails...)

• Videos giving life to the characters and the scenario, ensuring a continuity between the real world and the virtual one

• Social networks

• Interactive maps

• Community management in interaction with the players

• Interactions with real characters during events ...
