BOATS powered by Tangibl

Description

BOATS is an innovative educational mobile game designed to raise awareness about the pressing issue of plastic pollution in our oceans. Aimed at engaging both casual gamers and environmentally conscious individuals, the game offers an interactive experience that combines physical gameplay with digital technology.

In BOATS, players take on the role of captains navigating their boats through a grid-based ocean environment. The objective is to clear the sea of plastic debris by strategically moving your boat across the grid. To accomplish this, players use tangible tokens that correspond to specific commands: Move Forward, Move Backward, Turn Left, and Turn Right. Each time a player lands on a plastic token, they remove it from the ocean, earning points in the process. However, to truly succeed, players must answer multiple-choice questions about plastic pollution, furthering their understanding of the environmental challenges faced by our oceans.

The game also features a single-player mode, allowing players to compete against a virtual opponent driven by advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. This ensures a challenging and dynamic gaming experience even when playing solo.

At the end of each round, players have the opportunity to take a photo of their game board. Using image recognition technology, these photos enable the game to recognize the state of the board and execute the corresponding commands within the app. This unique blend of physical interaction and digital enhancement makes BOATS a standout experience that not only entertains but also educates.

Join us in this journey to understand and combat the problem of plastics in our oceans. Play BOATS today and make a difference!
