Imagine walking through Vondelpark or Westerpark when suddenly, giant monsters appear. Don’t worry; they are friendly and will share with you the hidden stories of the city! From now on, you can experience this with the Amsterdam Monster Factory app, specially developed for the jubilee year of Amsterdam.
The app is completely free and offers you a deeper insight into the city in just 90 minutes. Through your phone, the stories of Amsterdam come to life, and with AR technology, giant monsters appear at various locations, representing the unique values of Amsterdam. Think of heroism, compassion, as well as artistic expression and freedom of speech.
The creative mind behind this idea is Dan Leahy, a huge fan of Amsterdam and monsters, who wants to share his love for the city in a playful way through this app. The nine monsters in total symbolize the diverse traits and stories of the city and have been specially created for the jubilee year of Amsterdam.
During your walk, you also collect crosses in the app, which give you fun discounts to discover even more of the city. The monsters can be found in Vondelpark, Westerpark, and around Frederiksplein, but with the app, you can place them anywhere, even next to you on the couch!
So download the app, embark on an adventure, and discover Amsterdam through the eyes of these extraordinary creatures!
