Pictrée: Play, Inspect, Earn

Lesson 3.12

Pictrée: Play, Inspect, Earn

“Pic Trée: Blur and my utility pole ～” is a new team battle game that utilizes real-world power equipment (such as electric poles, manhole covers, handholes, etc.). Players belong to one of three teams (Bolt, Ampair, Watt) and work to maintain the power equipment that appears on the map.

The game operates on a seasonal basis, with players in each team earning ranking points through actions such as check-ins, taking photos, and connecting utility poles to compete for the overall team points.

The photos taken in the game are used to help keep the power equipment safe, so your gameplay actively contributes to the local community.
