‘Game of Thrones’ inspires dragon egg game

In The Dragon Egg Hunt, one can participate in a global treasure hunt using a custom Google Maps experience to find virtual dragon eggs in key locations around the world.

The interactive game is hosted by Zynga’s puzzle roleplaying Game of Thrones: Legends.

Once participants enter the experience, they are placed in an immersive map scene where a Game of Thrones: Legends character will greet them and share the first clue in their quest.

Players can then navigate across a 2D map, inspired by the Emmy Award-winning and Golden Globe-winning Game of Thrones series’ opening credits, to their desired location.

Through the map experience, one can uncover clues and transport from location to location using Google’s photo-realistic 3D Tiles. Once arriving, one can search for the hidden dragon eggs and can discover in-game rewards along the way. Participants can work collectively to unlock milestone rewards across all users as they continue their global hunt.

“At Zynga, we take pride in our company’s history of creativity and innovation and are excited to be the first gaming partner to utilise Google Maps Platform’s highly technical and beautiful 3D Tiles for this one-of-a-kind fan experience,” said Yaron Leyvand, executive VP of Zynga Mobile Games.

“Our Game of Thrones: Legends players can now immerse themselves further into the Westeros universe in-game and explore the world with Google Maps, blending their worlds through this incredible global treasure hunt.”

Developed for Zynga by Modern English Digital, this is first time a game developer is using Google’s photo-realistic 3D Tiles. 3D Tiles contain Google’s 3D geospatial information allowing developers to build 3D perspective views, just as they can with Google Earth.

Using the 3D Titles, developers can also showcase a location for storytelling allowing the sweepstakes to merge the Game of Thrones universe with the experience’s real-world locations.
