Obelisk

Location-based experiences

Build immersive location-based experiences like no other

Create zones on a map, decide what each one does, then share the link. Players open experiences in a browser, and walk into each zone. Nothing to install.

Explore the player experience

Move the dot around to each zone to explore what's possible. "Pizza" is the password for the locked zone.

Zones

A zone is a spot on the map with a size. Whatever you put there starts when someone walks in.

Any size Loop, play once, or play once ever Hide it from the map Fade in and out Quieter near the edge Require another zone first

Voices

Type your script and pick a voice, so you do not have to record anything (although you can). ElevenLabs is built in and you connect your own account, so they bill you directly for what you generate.

ElevenLabs Over 20 voices Notes on accent and pace Or upload your own audio

AI characters

Define character behavior and context via prompt. Players interact with characters via text.

Typed conversation Something they hold back Stays in character Can open a locked zone
You said it. A name said out loud is a door. What is under the water? Ask me that again when you have walked further.

Locked zones

Put a password on a zone and hide the answer earlier in the walk. A character can open one too, once they decide it is earned.

Passwords Hints you write Opened by a character Answers checked on the server

Collectibles

Hide items or currency along the route for players to pick up. A zone can require one before it opens.

Hidden items On-screen counter Require items to enter Hidden until collected

AR objects

Place an object at a spot and it appears when a player points their camera there. Still or flying.

Camera objects Static or flying Placed on the map No install

Look and feel

Set the colors, typeface, and map style, and write your own welcome and ending screens.

GPS accuracy

A phone's location is a guess that gets better over the first few seconds. Obelisk waits for it to settle before the walk starts, so the first zone does not fire in the wrong place.

This is the screen players see while their phone finds them.

A play is one person opening your experience. Refreshing does not count twice.

Every plan includes

What you can build

  • Audio that plays when someone walks into a spot
  • Things to collect, some kept hidden until someone finds them
  • Images and 3D objects that appear through the camera
  • Spots that need a password, or that open only after earlier ones
  • Points and items players collect, and spots that open only if they have enough

How it reaches people

  • Opens in a browser. Nothing to download.
  • Shared with a link that shows a preview when you send it
  • Plays on the lock screen like a podcast
  • Dark, light or satellite maps

While you make it

  • Your colors, fonts and welcome screen
  • Walk it from your desk before you walk it for real
  • Checked automatically for safety before it goes live
  • See plays, which spots people reached, and how long they stayed
