REXplorer is an interactive mobile & cross-media adventure game for tourists; players control the game with a location tracking 'Wiimote'-like device, making the visitor sightseeing experience fun, highly engaging and educational:
* REXplorer is a mobile, "pervasive", and persuasive game service that helps tourists and visitors to explore the history of the UNESCO world heritage city of Regensburg, Germany, and magically interact with the city's monuments instead of just seeing them.
* REXplorer is the first permanently installed game of this kind. Since June 2007, the 1.5 hour mobile device rental service is available for EUR 12,-/device at Regensburg's tourist information at the 'Alte Rathaus', and is co-operated by the tourist office and the REX Erlebnismuseum Regensburg Experience gemeinnützige GmbH.
* The game service targets the "tour guides are boring" group and has been designed for ages 16-30. Have a look at the personalized & geo-tagged game-blogs of highscoring players!
