BadgerScape Released Into the Wild.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! THOSE PESKY BUGS GET EVERYWHERE.
We are exploring fun, bottom up models that motivate people to make their cities healthier, happier and safer.
We hope BadgerScape will motivate people to walk more, and drive less, by combining pester power, games, quantified self, data, and behavioural triggers.
A very early prototype has been released into the wild.
We need you and your kids to tell us what works and what doesn’t, so we can make sure that the next version is a whole heap better.
IT’S CHILDS PLAY
Get your kid to register here: http://www.badgerscape.com so they can build an avatar and play a Candy Crush style game.
To buy extra lives and new stuff for their avatar, they need to collect Pester Pesos.
To earn Pesos they have to recruit adults (yes that’s you), who download a tracking app.
If they want to earn more Pesos, the can recruit more adults.
Every 500 steps you walk, your kid should get one Pester Peso. If you don’t walk enough, your Minion Master can send Badger Bulletins until you do.
CAN YOU HELP US?
if you are interested and able to help us test the system, please mail [email protected] with Beta Badger in the subject line.
We will send you a beta badger mail to let you know what to look out for.. At the end of a two week test period we will ask you to fill in a simple feedback form.
