Augmento Drops turns a city, a stadium or a venue into a treasure hunt in augmented reality. Open a campaign and the map shows what has been dropped around you: collectibles to find, quizzes to answer, 3D objects to look at, moments to share. Walk up to a drop, open it in AR, and earn coins. Spend them on real rewards from the brand running the campaign. What you can do • Find AR collectibles at real-world locations and collect them for coins • Answer quizzes and questions along the way: pick a picture, rate with hearts or stars, or slide to your answer • Walk around 3D showcases placed in the world • Take a photo of an AR moment, share it with a friend, and earn coins when they join • Claim rewards with the coins you earn • Invite friends to a campaign • Available in English and Portuguese How it works Every campaign comes from a brand, a sports federation or a venue, and lives at its own link or QR code. Scan it and the campaign opens on your map. Nothing running near you yet? Try the demo campaign from the home screen. Augmento Drops is made by Augmento, for brands that want their fans out in the world rather than on a screen.
