As part of Auxiliary Services Loves Students week, an augmented reality treasure hunt will be held until 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 17. Students can participate in the treasure hunt by keeping an eye out for the game posters located in the Auxiliary departments. Auxiliary Services will be providing Georgia Tech students with numerous discounts, specials, and prizes.
These posters are part of an augmented reality game, which students can play by downloading a free app from 4th Wall Technologies Treasure Hunt to their iPhone 4 or iPad 2. When a student wins a game, they will receive a virtual coupon that they can store in their “treasure chest” for safekeeping and use during the week of Feb. 13-17.
These coupons, to be used during Auxiliary Services Loves Students Week (February 13 – 17), are for free prizes, discounts, and to be entered into drawings. Here is what you could win during the treasure hunt:
o $2 coupon for the Craft Center
o A coupon for 50 percent off one bowling game for one person (excludes shoe rental) at Tech Rec
o Coupon for candy at Barnes & Noble @ Georgia Tech
o Coupon to enter into a drawing for a $50 bonus deposit from the BuzzCard Center
o Coupon to enter into a drawing to win a fleece blanket from Stamps Health Services
o Coupon to receive a gold carabineer from the Department of Housing
o Coupon to enter a drawing for $100 off an annual parking permit from Parking & Transportation Services (certain qualifications apply)
o Coupon for two-GB thumb drive to the first 250 students to be given away at the Student Center Information Desk
Each coupon is limited to a one-time use.
