Lockyer Valley Regional Council is pleased to partner in an exciting new initiative, designed to get the kids out of the house, learn about nature and explore our region.
The Council has partnered up with Brisbane City Council, Moreton Bay City Council, Gold Coast City Council, Logan City Council and Redland City Council to join the ‘South-East Queensland Explorer Campaign 2.0’, using the AR gaming craze to get families outdoors, exploring and having fun.
With two augmented reality (AR) challenges to complete, Lockyer Valley Community Services Portfolio Councillor, Michael Hagan encouraged everyone to get on board.
“Anyone can join by downloading the free ‘Agents of Discovery’ app on their device.
“The missions take about an hour to complete and feature games and challenges about our local flora, fauna and unique locations in the Lockyer Valley.
“Come along to Lake Apex Park, Gatton and Fairways Park, Kensington Grove between 9 September and 3 October to complete the missions.
“And as an added bonus, there are two shorter missions to complete at the Laidley Spring Festival and Bee Happy Day this Saturday and Sunday in celebration of ‘Save the Koala Month’.
“If you complete the quest this weekend, visit Council at the Laidley Spring Festival to collect your prize.
“No data or Wi-Fi is needed to play a mission once it’s downloaded, so grab your hat, water bottle and comfy shoes and join in the fun,” Cr Hagan said.
“Anyone can join in by downloading the free Agents of Discovery mobile app and completing the missions at our locations. The missions contain games and challenges to share facts about our local flora and fauna and unique locations here in the Lockyer Valley.”
As well as the prizes you can collect at the Laidley Spring Festival, players are also entered to win amazing prizes and rewards if they complete missions in two or more regions.
The missions were developed in-house by council staff with the help of the Friends of Lake Apex (FOLA) group, and their local knowledge.
