A RPG game that utilizes smartphones and NFC cards!
Not only the original NFC QUEST cards, but also common NFC-based commuter pass cards can be used.
A game characters is assigned to the player's NFC card and by touching the different checkpoints with the card the character becomes stronger.
At the end there's a checkpoint with a game screen where only a team of three players can challenge the "Devil King".
By positioning the checkpoints strategically the visitors are encouraged to move around and visit different areas of the assembly hall. In Japan this is called "Stamp Rally".
NFC QUEST has been successfully deployed at, among other, "Google Developer Day 2011", where many visitors participated in the game.
