Introduction

The City of Konin sought to bridge the gap between climate education and public engagement. Their goal was to inspire action and deepen residents' knowledge about climate change. However, traditional methods such as workshops and pamphlets had limited reach and impact. They needed a solution that could:

 

• Appeal to a broad audience, including younger generations
• Combine education with entertainment to sustain engagement
• Allow for easy content updates to reflect the latest climate knowledge
• Deliver mobile-first solution to the citizens

BrainForge IT provided end-to-end development of the Konin City Game, a mobile application designed to gamify climate education. Our approach focused on creating a seamless and interactive experience while equipping administrators with tools to manage and update content efficiently.

 

Key elements of our solution included:

 

• User-Centric Design: Intuitive UX/UI design to ensure accessibility for all age groups.
• Interactive Features: Integration of location-based services, QR code scanning, and dynamic content to keep users engaged.
• Scalability and Flexibility: A robust tech stack to support future expansion and customization.

We delivered a feature-rich, Flutter-based application built with cutting-edge technologies, coupled with strategic marketing efforts to drive adoption.

 

Core Features:

 

• Interactive Map: A digital guide to the city’s key points of interest, each linked to climate-related activities.
• QR Code Integration: Users scan codes at specific locations to unlock content, earn rewards, and learn.
• Geolocation Services: Personalized navigation to points of interest with location-specific insights.
• Admin Panel (CMS): A powerful backend system allowing administrators to add, edit, and update content seamlessly.
• Dynamic Scenarios: Engaging challenges, quizzes, and storytelling elements designed to educate and entertain.

 

Technological Foundation

 

Our choice of technology ensured a seamless, reliable user experience:

 

• Flutter: Enabled cross-platform development for Android and iOS with a single codebase, reducing costs and time to market.
