Discovery Tour App: AlUla went live this week! 🚀
A free educational app and the second Discovery Tour App we've built for Ubisoft, following Medieval Baghdad last year.
This one is set in the world of Assassin's Creed Mirage: Valley of Memory and covers the history and heritage of AlUla, one of the most remarkable places in Saudi Arabia.
The app contains three parts. A codex written with historians, illustrated with real artefacts from partner institutions, some of them viewable in 3D through AR. A 90 minute mission-based journey through the region, where what you've learned is what gets you through, ending with an ancient inscription to decipher. And a timeline from prehistory to present day AlUla.
Seven languages, on iOS, Android and in the browser. A class can run it on whatever the school already has. Built for anyone curious about the place, and for classrooms and museums who want to use it with a group.
Built alongside Ubisoft's own teams, and with the historians, experts and institutions who opened their collections to us.
Thank you to the team at Ubisoft for trusting us with the second one, to Thierry NOËL for sharing his wealth of knowledge with us. To the entire team at Sugar who worked tirelessly on it. Congratulations everyone!
