Tiny Wilderness is a low-footprint mobile AR gaming platform that transforms rural landscapes into immersive quest worlds. Play to reward sustainable practices, unlock new revenue for land custodians, and build the infrastructure for a creator economy in agri-tourism.
The world's rural landscapes hold extraordinary cultural, ecological, and economic value. Mobile gaming has demonstrated unprecedented capacity to drive physical movement, community engagement, and durable economic behaviour change.
Tiny Wilderness bridges these two worlds: a platform infrastructure that lets rural operators become game publishers, and lets players become active participants in the stewardship of the places they visit.
Designed for real terrain, not urban Wi-Fi. The platform operates fully offline, with on-device ML for green-practice verification. No connectivity required in the field.
Solana-based token infrastructure rewards players for verified sustainable behaviours, creating a direct economic link between play and land stewardship.
Scored 4.5/5 on the Low-Footprint Software Performance Scorecard. Energy efficiency and minimal data footprint are architectural commitments, not afterthoughts.
Rural operators become game publishers. The platform provides the tools, infrastructure, and marketplace. Partners bring the land, the stories, and the quests.
Three integrated layers form the platform: a mobile experience engine, a green-practice verification system, and a token reward infrastructure. All operating with minimal energy footprint.
Rural SMEs and farm operators become game publishers. Visitors complete quests that verify sustainable farming practices, earn tokens redeemable at local businesses or saved to stake, trade and exchange on Solana.
Heritage councils and cultural institutions deploy narrative quest layers over archaeological sites, traditional landscapes, and living heritage routes. Making history playable and fundable.
Mobility operators and tourism boards integrate quest infrastructure into existing routes. Turn a train journey, a cycling trail, or a walking path into a layered, rewarded experience.
Educational institutions and citizen science programmes deploy data-collection quests — players contribute verified environmental observations while earning rewards and progressing through structured learning arcs.
Built and validated through an EU NGI TrustChain-funded programme, the platform completed a 12-week live pilot across three villages in Crete (December 2025 – February 2026) with real users, real terrain, and real economic transactions.
When the pilot concluded, local businesses asked for it to continue. That is the signal we are building on.
"The technology already exists. The question is will and imagination."
The platform's architecture was designed from first principles to operate in environments where connectivity is unreliable, energy is constrained, and data sovereignty matters. Every architectural decision reflects a commitment to low-footprint, high-performance operation.
The codebase is open-source and EU-certified, providing a transparent foundation for partners and funders who require auditability and compliance.
We are seeking early-stage funders, accelerator programmes, and early adopter partners to expand the platform to 10 sites across Ireland, Austria, and Crete. Our next milestone is to launch the creator economy layer.
A validated platform with live pilot data, EU programme pedigree, and a clear path to 10 partner sites. We are open to pre-seed investment, accelerator programmes, and grant co-funding.
Heritage councils, tourism boards, agri-tourism operators, and mobility organisations. If you have a landscape and a story, we have the platform to make it playable.
