The Show Must Go On!

The Show Must Go On!

Debuting as part of DreamBIG Children’s Festival, Sandpit built a web-app scavenger hunt to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Adelaide Festival Centre (AFC).

Using our custom image scanning software, visitors follow clues around the AFC plaza to find posters of the five missing costumes. Once scanned, the costumes come to life on the visitor’s phone, becoming AR filters that visitors can try on for themselves.

The experience is aimed at children and families and is a fun, colourful way to engage them with the AFC’s history and continuing collection. The entire experience is guided in-phone by an AFC usher named Sharon who urges the visitors to find the missing costumes before the curtain rises as “the show simply must go on!”

Whether you’re heading to the AFC to see a show or spending a date in the city, make sure you keep an eye out for some missing costumes and your helpful usher Sharon will be able to assist with the rest!
