Why Immersive Mobile Games?
• Mobile games are largely self-serving, i.e. games promote games
• But mobile can be interactive, social and also immersive
• Immersive games transform the real world
into the game board……!
• ….creating opportunities for retail/services/spaces to engage,
entertain & reward customers interactively, right where they are
2
Locatrix Communications
• Innovative provider of carrier-grade services & web
solutions
• Unmatched expertise in location-based services
• 10+ years experience in mobile applications
development
• Track record delivering scalability & availability
• Leader in immersive mobile game development
• Experienced SaaS solution delivery
Immersive Game Philosophy
Removing platform risk reduces cost, and allows 

more focus on user experience!
• “So, location is pretty easy now, isn’t it?”
• Yes, it’s readily available (GPS etc) in most handsets
• And yes, Google Map APIs are well-understood and supported…..
• But user engagement (using location) is a very different problem
• Our Immersive Game Platform evolved from experience
• Initially Location-based content, augmented reality, treasure hunts
• Repeatedly added game “mechanics” and extended capabilities
• Proven through major brand-backed game projects
4
Locatrix Immersive Game Platform

(trailers etc)
• Points shared socially & via global leaderboard
• Social media integration (Facebook/Twitter)
• Agency partner: Hoodlum Interactive (for NBC/
Universal)
• Android + iOS supported

progressed 3 or more levels)

Game of Phones.!
