What would you do if you could buy an abandoned Italian village? Not just one or two houses, but an entire village and the entire valley! 🏡🌄


Leonard got that opportunity more than 10 years ago and, together with his partners, seized it with both hands. They involved local residents from the valley to convert the old houses into beautiful apartments and a luxury hotel in the hills of Tuscany. View the result here: www.novanta90.com. ✨


3 weeks ago Esther and I met Leonard at EventSummit. He told his story and we were captivated by how he brought a vibrant life back to the once abandoned village. We talked about ways to tell the story of Novanta and the potential of the valley. My cogs started turning. 🔄💡


At Breakout Bandits we now have extensive experience in developing location-based applications by developing our own game concepts. I saw opportunities to use that knowledge to create a tailor-made location-based app for Novanta. 📱🌐


Fast forward. Last week we got in the car to Italy to make an app for Novanta. During their stay, guests will hear the story of the village via the app while walking around the valley. Every time they visit a specific location, part of the story appears in the app. Furthermore, the app offers various challenges (mountain bike routes, truffle hunt, geocaches, etc.). At the end of the week, the guest who has completed the most challenges will be honored. 📸🚵‍♂️


This week I was not only captivated by the story of the deserted valley, but also excited about the idea of developing similar apps for other event locations. Think of locations with a fascinating story and various activities in the area, which want to offer guests a unique experience through gamification. 🌍🕹️
