Turn a zoo visit into an interactive wildlife discovery experience

A mobile platform that allows visitors to discover, collect, and learn about animals in real time—while helping zoos increase engagement, education, and visitor satisfaction.

Zoo visits are often passive experiences.

Visitors move quickly between exhibits, retain limited information, and engagement (especially among children and families) can drop over time.

  • Limited interaction with educational content

  • Short attention spans in younger audiences

  • Lack of personalized visitor experiences

  • Minimal post-visit retention

This is a innovate and new way to explore wildlife

ARCAICO proposes an interactive mobile experience that transforms zoo visits into a guided discovery journey. Visitors can identify animals, unlock digital profiles, complete challenges, and build their own collection of species observed during their visit.

The method is simple:

1. Open the app.

2. Discover an animal (camera / location / QR).

3. Unlock its profile.

4. Add it to your collection.
