Our planet’s energy sources are stressed and governments and utilities around the world are struggling to find energy solutions that scale with growing populations and economies. The average energy consumer is concerned about the environment and wants to do more to help. They also want fun, easy solutions that reward changes in their behavior. Studies also show that consumers value “bragging right
s”. Play Energy gives consumers all this and more. Firstly, Play Energy is a energy saving platform that gathers “real time” information from an easy to use, affordable console like Greenwave which allows users to measure, monitor and control their energy consumption. Secondly, Play Energy is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that will be the world's first energy saving game that uses augmented reality mobile platforms and integrated simulation based learning (think Shadow Cities meets Energyville). Players can earn real money and rewards by beating their own scores, helping others to earn energy scores or by playing the MMORPG. Scores can be linked to G+, Facebook and Twitter. Even the way the game is being developed is innovative. The creators of Play Energy are using a multi-level platform that is a 360 fully, immersive advertising campaign to market the game viral. Part of the marketing campaign is to have potential players from around the world compete to participate in game development. Play Energy will be the first MMORPG developed using crowd sourcing.
