We're on a mission to bring business back to the locals. If you’re tired of seeing your sales slip to Amazon, eBay, and every other e-Commerce site, bring back your customers and provide some fun and excitement in the process! Very briefly, Once Upon a Crime is a new downloadable interactive “whodunit” game for mobile phones made freely available to the public. The application takes players from location to location to solve a mystery while promoting local storefront retailers, restaurants, bookshops, events, and similar by encouraging the player to browse within these locations as a core function of completing the game. Players visit multiple establishments and must be within the locations to receive clues then wait several minutes to learn if their “accusation” is correct. This motivates impulse buying plus discounts and prizes if the merchant elects to provide them to the players creating return shopping and positive word-of-mouth. The retailer has an opportunity to immediately increase market share, increase revenue and receive worldwide recognition as sponsored locations appear on the app’s map. Locals and tourists who plan to visit the area will already know about the merchant because they saw it in the game. Once all the clues are gathered, the player can determine what the “crime” is, who committed it, and best of all, a valuable prize for solving the crime. Our game is unique and the demographic data for the most successful similar mobile game demonstrates the average player is a 26 year old woman making US$90k per year and the best player is a 70 year old Japanese man. Team and group players ranged in age from 16 to over 60. In other words, this is not a kids game. Think of this as Groupon meets Pokémon Go, but players and sponsors mutually gain.
