VNG today presented the Agency of Secrets initiative: an innovative tool that allows you to get to know the municipality through 10 analogue, digital and virtual reality games
Agency of Secrets is an interactive and gamified experience that allows you to rediscover the town through 10 analogue, digital and virtual reality games. Its main objective is the promotion of gamification among the tourism managers of the destinations; the creation of work thanks to hackathon processes and external game designers and to provide, thanks to games, new tools to destinations to increase tourist flow.

During 6 months with collaborative methodologies, it has been possible to define for Neapolis the catalog of services, the customer journey and funnels for the technological companies that address the Innovation Agency of Vilanova i la Geltrú.
