About the project

An environmental initiative about the future of water

Ten aquariums with QR codes across the Moskvarium exhibition: from migratory rays to the large marine tank with sharks. Scan, open WebAR without installing an app, and help clean the water.

Clean water is not a given.
Let’s help the ocean together.

01 / Route
across the
exhibition

An edutainment quest.
10 locations.

Moskvarium exhibition plan with quest locations

Scan the QR. Play. Clean.

The points are placed along the real visitor route through Moskvarium, so the digital layer amplifies the walk rather than interrupting it. Nine locations contain AR gameplay, plus one eco-checklist point. Visitors complete a short mission exactly where the live habitat is already engaging, then move on. The whale in the large marine aquarium closes the route and completes the eco-rescuer code word.

02 / How to play
a route in
nine steps

How the game works.

1

Enter the exhibition

A standard ticket to Moskvarium, 119s23 Prospekt Mira.

2

Find a QR code

Look for the “crumpled cup” sticker on the aquarium glass.

3

Open WebAR

Directly in Safari or Chrome, with nothing to install.

4

Point the camera

At a real aquarium, with pollution drawn over the live habitat.

5

See AR pollution

Bottles, film, oil, microplastics — the things the eye often misses.

6

Clean the water

Use a net, skimmer, blaster, vacuum, or harpoon. Each location has its own tool.

7

Get a fact and a tip

A character explains the pollution type and gives a practical everyday tip.

8

Collect a letter

Each location gives one letter of the secret code word.

9

Unlock rewards

Complete the word and unlock a hidden page with digital gifts.
