Emblem turns the places you visit into digital souvenirs you keep. Each Emblem is an artwork made for a real place, often by a local artist. Go there, open the map and collect it: it joins your Passport, with the date, the place and a photo of the moment. COLLECT AT REAL PLACES • The map shows the Emblems around you, in cities, museums, landmarks, festivals and events. • Collect when you are there. When you collect, the camera opens: who were you with? • Some Emblems come alive: watch them move, view them in AR, or try on Santa's Cap, a filter for your face. FILL YOUR PASSPORTS • Passports gather the Emblems of a city, a country, an event or a theme: the Luxembourg Passport · Youth for Peace, Finland, Kyiv, Vilnius, Minsk, Yekaterinburg, World Heritage and more. • Special Passports have their own look, from cover to stamp, and a finished one opens its own full page. • Leaderboards show who has collected the most. DISCOVER A COUNTRY'S CULTURE • Pavilions bring a country's food, music, books and festivals together. • Mark a dish Tasted, a song Listened and a book Read, and see where you have been. SHARE AND CELEBRATE • Follow friends, see what they collect and share your moments. • Send an Emblem to a friend as a gift. • Win rewards from partners: Lucky Emblems can hold a prize, and some Passports unlock real rewards. THE PORTAL • Dress your character, place your Emblems in your own 3D room and let friends visit. Emblem is free to download and available in 22 languages. Collect the world, one place at a time.
