imercita

imercita turns city exploration into an immersive experience. Through stories, it leads you to discover new places and meet people while interacting with your environment.

imercita invites you to explore cities by following the breadcrumbs of engaging stories inspired by the real-life of locals or fictional characters from famous movies.

You may come through fun challenges and clues in your immediate surroundings, this way discovering popular and hidden attractions together with fascinating fun facts and legends about them.

Each experience is unique and created around a specific theme, with an exciting role-playing element. It can be inspired by a movie, a true story, a book, a historical fact, or a local legend.
