Gameplay:

Winnipeg - Know Your Zone is a location-based mobile game designed to educate players about COVID-19 prevention measures and city regulations. The game utilizes augmented reality (AR) technology to superimpose virtual elements onto real-world locations.

Objective:

The primary objective of the game is to navigate the city of Winnipeg while adhering to public health guidelines. Players must collect virtual masks and maintain physical distancing from virtual characters representing other people. By following these guidelines, players earn points and progress through the game.

Gameplay Mechanics:

* AR Gameplay: The game employs AR to create an immersive experience. Players hold their mobile devices up to view the real world, and the game overlays virtual elements such as masks and characters onto the environment.

* Mask Collection: Players must collect virtual masks scattered throughout the city. Masks are color-coded to indicate the appropriate type of mask for the location, such as a non-medical mask for outdoor settings or a medical mask for indoor spaces.

* Physical Distancing: Players must maintain a safe distance from virtual characters representing other people. When a player gets too close to a character, they will receive a warning and lose points.

* Check-Ins: Players can check in at designated locations in the city to earn bonus points and learn more about COVID-19 prevention measures.

Beyond its gameplay, Winnipeg - Know Your Zone also serves as an educational tool. The game provides information about:

* COVID-19 symptoms and transmission

* Public health guidelines for mask-wearing, physical distancing, and hand hygiene

* City regulations related to COVID-19, such as gathering limits and business restrictions

The game has been well-received by the Winnipeg community. It has encouraged players to engage with public health guidelines and has helped to raise awareness about COVID-19 prevention. The game has also fostered a sense of community by providing a shared experience during a time of social distancing.
