Diligence Studio teamed up with Tool and R/GA to create a one-of-a-kind Augmented Reality experience for Verizon’s iPhone 13 launch.



With character design from the artist duo Friends with You and music from Halsey, this experience included a large scale on-location experience as well as an at-home version that allowed users from all over the globe to participate.

On-site users in Seattle, Miami, NYC, LA, and Chicago participated in a virtual scavenger hunt while folks using the at-home version could contribute custom characters.
