Frequently Asked Questions

What sets Geo AR apart?

  • We’re one of the only studios in the world focused solely on games for social impact.

  • We work with a certified indigenous advisor on cultural projects.

  • Our team includes researchers, artists, developers, and community experts.

  • We're values-led, neurodiverse, and work in a flat, collaborative structure.

What work does Geo AR do?

We make games for change. Geo AR turns real-world issues into playful, powerful digital experiences. Think scavenger hunts that teach biodiversity, AR stories that explore cultural heritage, or browser games that simulate climate choices.

What kind of technology do you use?

We deliver our experiences using the format that best fits your goals, location, and audience.
Here’s what each format offers:

  • Augmented Reality (AR)

    • Digital content overlaid onto the real world using a mobile device. Players scan signs, cards, or landmarks to trigger animations, videos, or characters.

  • Virtual Reality (VR)

    • Fully immersive 3D environments accessed through a headset. Ideal for training, storytelling, or exploring high-impact scenarios in a safe, simulated space.

  • Extended Reality (XR)

    • An umbrella term that includes AR, VR, and Mixed Reality. XR blends digital and physical worlds to create immersive experiences across various platforms and devices.

  • Web-Based (Browser)

    • No downloading needed. Experiences are accessed through a standard internet browser. Perfect for wide-reaching public campaigns.

  • Screen-Based Games

    • Games designed for desktop, tablet, or touchscreen devices - using 2D or non-immersive 3D formats. Includes simulations, strategy games, and interactive stories that don’t rely on AR or VR.

Do we need an app?

Not always! For quick deployments or public campaigns, a browser experience might be best.

How much does it cost?

We offer flexible pricing. Costs vary based on the complexity of your project, the format (AR, browser, etc.), and whether you're building something new or reusing part of an existing game. We’re happy to provide quotes, phased rollouts, or white-label licensing options.

Who creates the content?

We love collaborating. We often co-design with educators, scientists, Indigenous advisors, artists, and your team.

Can I customise an existing game?

Yes. We can rebrand, localise, or tweak existing games to suit your city, message, or campaign. We call this app recycling (a new term we coined). This is one of the fastest and most affordable ways to get started.

Do your games work for all ages?

Absolutely. We design with inclusivity in mind. Many of our games are family-friendly, while others target adults or specific community groups. We also build in accessibility features where possible and have experience designing with neurodivergent and vision-impaired players in mind.
