This idea is based largely around using the same tech from pokemon go on a smaller scale from within the theme parks. Take men in black for example. It would start by going to a ride like Men in black at universal. You would scan a qr code outside the entrance and download the MIB game app. You can then go on the ride que and scan your vehicle in the que to log your scoring in the men in black. This will then be made part of your score for the day at MIB training facility. Then after you leave the ride you can use a special AR camera app on your phone which will detect random geotagged hot spots where there are various aliens that are also on the loose. You would then use the zapper in the game to zap at the aliens until they are eliminated. The aliens can range from small little aliens all the way up to giant monster encounters requiring multiple people to take it down. When not in game you can keep an eye on your current MIB score of hunting aliens as well as scores of those who have logged the highest scores of the day in the training facility.
A similar thing might also be useful for parks like sea world. The app would come with a series of different games such as scavenger hunt or escaped. In scavenger hunt you would be shown a picture of an animal and would use the ar app to take a picture of the same animal thus identifying it. You would then be told something interesting about that species. In the escaped game, you would have a series of random animals that escaped and thus you would need to find these hidden animals by randomly finding various geotagged spots where an animal might be hiding. The challenge would be to find all the missing animals which may be just about anywhere from a trash can to an animal enclosure. This is just a couple of ideas that come to mind. Anyone got some more?
