Beacon is a location-based game that transforms your community into an interactive learning experience. Inspired by games like Pokémon Go, Beacon uses real-world locations to teach civics and history, making these subjects engaging and relevant for students and the public alike. By exploring and augmenting their local map, players deepen their understanding of civic institutions and historical events, creating meaningful connections to their everyday environment.
