<a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/flickplayapp” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>flickplay and Bandai Namco Entertainment have teamed up to celebrate Pac-Man's 45th anniversary with a Pokémon Go-like scavenger hunt in Tokyo's Shibuya district.
The event, which will take place during the DIG Shibuya Festival from February 8 to 11, 2025, will allow participants to collect Pac-Man-themed nfts by visiting designated locations.
Combining location-based gameplay with digital collectibles, the event pays homage to the arcade classic while embracing new technology.
Flickplay is a platform that allows users to interact with nft-based digital characters in various interactive ways.
The platform supports several blockchain ecosystems, including Flow, ethereum, and Polygon, and allows users to integrate their nfts into digital experiences. Previous collaborations include a collection of Bratz Dolls, where the characters could be used in Flickplay's GIF creation tool and in virtual games.
Flickplay's approach extends beyond collectibles, with the goal of creating interoperable nfts that can be used across multiple platforms and ecosystems.
The scavenger hunt will take place at more than 40 locations in Shibuya, the neighborhood where Pac-Man was first introduced in 1980. Participants will use Flickplay's AR app to locate and unlock Pac-themed digital collectibles. Man.
