Voted best casino outside of Las Vegas, Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut offers its guest an enthralling experience in its resort and seven casinos. Being one of the largest casinos in North America, they went big again by partnering with New England’s finest Red Sox world champion, David Ortiz. Fans can now engage in an AR scavenger hunt on the resort property where they can scan any unlock an immersive fan experience.
Groove Jones partnered with Foxwoods to create an augmented reality experience revolving around Big Papi himself. This AR “scavenger hunt” features Big Papi taking part in numerous activities that guests can enjoy at the resort casino. Guests can unlock these AR Murals (or AR Portraits) by using the official Foxwood’s App as part of the “Where Is Big Papi” campaign.
AR Scavenger Hunt
Hidden throughout the resort are four portraits of Ortiz, designed by the agency BPG. Each unique picture of Big Papi is hanging around the casino and through the power of image recognition, is triggered by using your camera.
Groove Jones used elements from the new “Big Papi’s House!” commercial to create dynamic 3D animations, that bring Big Papi to life directly off of the printed page! Each portrait has a different theme.
- Monza Karts – shows Big Papi at the go-kart track, celebrating a huge finish on the 1st place podium.
- Shrine Nightclub – has Big Papi showing off his dance moves at the resorts Shrine Nightclub
- Flying Chips – has Big Papi launching a handful of poker chips that float in the air around you
