10k Lakes Project
10k Lakes Project
brand activation & app
Minnesota is known for its great outdoors. I wanted to take their beautiful scenic lakes and gamify them by creating an app that encourages tourist and locals to explore the state of Minnesota.
mobile app
The 10,000 Lakes Project is an app that maps out all the lakes in Minnesota and charts them so explorers can check-in and learn about each lake along the way. What kind of wildlife inhabit the area. Which kind of fish are in each lake and what bait is most effective for fishing. All of these questions are answered within the app. Once you check-in to a lake you will earn a digital badge to add to your collection. You will also be encouraged to upload pictures from your experience during your check-in.
10K lakes 4D fishing experience
To launch the 10,000 Lakes Project we created a 4D Fishing Experience that allows participants to explore three different lakes. Powered by Nintendo Wii like technology you will be able to cast your digital rod into the lake and reel it in until you catch a fish that is a local inhabitant of the lake you selected. Once you have hooked a fish a graphic will appear on the screen to let you know which kind of fish you caught. This will be randomized so the results differ from person to person depending on the lake you have selected.
This activation would be perfect at RV and Outdoors shows and in retail stores like Bass Pro or Cabella's.

B: Canoe where participants will sit while they enjoy one of Minnesota 10K lakes virtually. It will have a gentle rocking motion to it to simulate being on the water.

D: Participants can select one lake from each region to explore. The title of the lake or pod will appear here on the video board.
E: A digital splash is created on the video board wherever they cast their digital rod and reel.
F: When a participant catches a virtual fish an overlay appears on the screen to show which type of fish are most common in the lake they have selected.
