After starting his career at École 42 and then serving as Technical Director at STATION F, Alexandre Pages decided in 2022 to embark on a new entrepreneurial adventure. His ambition: to use technology to encourage users to get out of their homes and reconnect with their real-life environment.
This is how Explorz was born, a mobile application that transforms every street corner into an interactive playground. Available throughout France since 2023, this platform offers users virtual treasure hunts based on ultra-precise geolocation and artificial intelligence. By analyzing players' positions in real time, Explorz offers them personalized routes adapted to their tastes and immediate environment. Unlike other similar applications, which are often limited to large cities, Explorz covers both urban and rural areas thanks to a robust technological infrastructure capable of managing millions of data points.
In just six months after its official launch, Explorz already boasts more than 200,000 active users in France and is even starting to expand internationally. But beyond pure entertainment, the application also addresses several major social issues. According to a recent study relayed by France Inter and Marianne, 40% of young people aged 18 to 24 are currently suffering from moderate to severe depression, a figure that has increased significantly since the health crisis linked to Covid-19. Faced with this alarming observation, Explorz offers a concrete solution by encouraging its users to get out more, reducing screen time and promoting social interactions in real life.
In addition to its positive impact on the mental and social well-being of younger generations, Explorz also has a tangible economic benefit. Players can win real-life rewards such as gift cards from partner brands during their virtual explorations. An original way to boost purchasing power while making each outing fun and rewarding.
