LOQA encourages the exploration of cultural locations and gastronomic offerings by transforming visits into visible achievements.
Explore nearby places, follow curated tours and uncover hidden gems across the city.
Check in at locations, earn XP and unlock milestones that reflect your personal journey.
Compete in rankings, unlock rewards and turn exploration into lasting motivation.
Progress is structured through XP and milestones and made socially visible. Rankings extend this development through social comparison and strengthen long-term motivation.
Nearby suggestions, themed collections and the map guide exploration toward new places. Instead of pure search, the experience becomes a curated form of urban discovery.
Most check-ins are location-based. This reduces friction for users while avoiding additional effort for places and potential partners. A QR code scanner is additionally integrated.
Accessibility information supports everyday usability. Additional references to discounted cultural offerings help create low-barrier access to urban experiences.
Osnabrück serves as the pilot city, while the underlying system is designed to scale to additional cities. Places, categories and content can be expanded in a structured way.
Nearly everything is stored locally on the device. An account is only required for features such as rankings or redeeming rewards. Personal data is reduced to a minimum.
LOQA is available in beta for iOS and Android.
