What is a location-based experience?

A location-based experience ties content to real places. A player walks to a spot and something happens there: audio plays, a character starts talking, or an object appears through their camera. Obelisk calls each of those spots a zone.

Do players need to install an app?

No. Obelisk experiences run in a web browser. You share a link and players open it on their phone.

Can I use AI voices instead of recording narration?

Yes. ElevenLabs voices are built in, so you type your script and pick a voice. You can also upload your own audio.

What can you build with Obelisk?

Audio tours, locative storytelling, treasure hunts, geolocated games, museum audio guides and nature walks. The same tools cover all of them.

Location-based experiences

Build immersive location-based experiences like no other

Create zones on a map, decide what each one does, then share the link. Players open experiences in a browser, and walk into each zone. Nothing to install.

Explore the player experience

Move the dot around to each zone to explore what's possible. "Pizza" is the password for the locked zone.

Zones

A zone is a spot on the map with a size. Whatever you put there starts when someone walks in.

Any size Loop, play once, or play once ever Hide it from the map Fade in and out Quieter near the edge Require another zone first

Voices

Type your script and pick a voice. ElevenLabs is built in, so you do not have to record anything (although you can).

ElevenLabs Over 20 voices Notes on accent and pace Or upload your own audio

AI characters

Define character behavior and context via prompt. Players interact with characters via text.

Typed conversation Something they hold back Stays in character Can open a locked zone

You said it. A name said out loud is a door. What is under the water? Ask me that again when you have walked further.

Locked zones

Put a password on a zone and hide the answer earlier in the walk. A character can open one too, once they decide it is earned.

Passwords Hints you write Opened by a character Answers checked on the server

Collectibles

Hide items or currency along the route for players to pick up. A zone can require one before it opens.

Hidden items On-screen counter Require items to enter Hidden until collected

AR objects

Place an object at a spot and it appears when a player points their camera there. Still or flying.

Camera objects Static or flying Placed on the map No install

Look and feel

Set the colors, typeface, and map style, and write your own welcome and ending screens.

GPS accuracy

A phone's location is a guess that gets better over the first few seconds. Obelisk waits for it to settle before the walk starts, so the first zone does not fire in the wrong place.

This is the screen players see while their phone finds them.
