MED GAIMS aims to revolutionize the tourist site experience by gamifying it, with both analog and digital applications. The project applies game design to create experiences for tourists, and as a result, gives a necessary competitive edge to the attractiveness of less-known sites.
Under the broad thematic umbrella of “Discovery”, the games must help tourists to discover and experience a touristic spot beyond the simple observation. The idea is to encourage the creative freedom of entrepreneurs, creative workers, and game designers with a competition to offer 20 funded grants for game development at selected tourism sites (5 per partner country, i.e. Italy, Spain, Lebanon, Jordan).
Through the hackathons and Creatives Labs, each country will select 5 winner proposes. The Grant size will be between 10,000-15,000 euros per game, depending on the type of game (10.000 euros for analog games and 15.000 for digital games).
It is expected that for each country 2 digital games will be awarded, and 3 analog games. During the 8 months following the award, projects will be further developed and they will be evaluated via two tests.
In Spain, the two selected destinations are the city center of Vilanova i la Geltrú and its seafront. The conceptual context of the creative space in Vilanova is about the discovering of “Secrets”. The objective is providing the user the chance to find, interact, and get the knowledge that otherwise would be impossible. The “Secrets” can refer to discovering places digitally or analogically, learning stories, access to or interacting with locals. The idea is to select all kinds of curiosities, hidden places, or unknown facts and make them become the goals of the games. The selected tourist spots are Museum Víctor Balaguer, Casa Papiol, Plaça de la Vila, Railway Museum, The Old Quarter, The Market, Espai Far, Passeig del Carme, Bunkers.

MED GAIMS is ready to invest in you!
Iscriu-te a les Hackathons i Creative Labs del projecte MED GAIMS, aconsegueix un dels 5 premis d’entre 10.000€ i 15.000€ i guanya l’oportunitat d’implementar la teva proposta de gamificació a la ciutat!
Desenvolupar jocs per a revolucionar l’experiència turística de localitzacions poc conegudes, crear nous llocs de treball i promocionar empreses emergents del sector.
La convocatòria pretén promoure idees innovadores, originals i creatives al voltant del tema “SECRETS”; l’objectiu final dels jocs guanyadors serà que els visitants descobreixin i experimentin Vilanova més enllà de la simple observació, però sempre al voltant de la descoberta de “SECRETS”.
Què són els “SECRETS”? Els “SECRETS” són fets històrics poc coneguts, personatges, i experiències no del domini públic; exemples de “SECRETS” poden ser una anècdota d’una obra d’art, llocs no visitables habitualment, llegendes urbanes, un tast de vins en un entorn poc habitual, accessos exclusius a contingut físic o digital, entre d’altres.
Es faran dues Hackathons i Creatives Labs a Vilanova i la Geltrú organitzades per la Fundació i2CAT i Neapolis.
D’entre tots els participants a les Hackathons i Creative Labs se seleccionaran 5 guanyadors que obtindran un premi en metàl·lic per implementar en els següents 8 mesos la idea de joc a la ciutat de Vilanova.
De les 5 idees guanyadores, 3 seran propostes analògiques (cada una obtindrà una suma de 10.000€ per implementar-se) i 2 seran propostes digitals (que obtindran cada una la suma de 15.000€).
1- Omple tots els camps del formulari de sol·licitud amb la teva proposta! La proposta cal que es redacti en anglès i en ordinador.
2- Envia el formulari de sol·licitud i el document amb la proposta econòmica abans de la data límit a: [email protected]
Les dates límit per enviar propostes seran el 27 de setembre (per a les Hackathons del 3 i 4 d’octubre) i el 30 d’octubre (per a les hackathons i Creative Labs del 14-15 de novembre).
