Moxy Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of 30 extraordinary brands, announced the launch of the “Moxy Universe, Play Beyond” augmented reality experience in Asia-Pacific.
Designed for the young-at-heart, Moxy boldly breaks the rules of a conventional hotel stay, bringing its “Play On” experiences from the hotel to the virtual world through the Moxy Universe.
From Shanghai to Tokyo, guests are invited to explore the Moxy Universe with their own avatar in 12 Moxy hotels across Asia-Pacific from July 12th through December 31st, 2022.
How to pertake in the campaign?
“We are very excited to launch the ‘Moxy Universe, Play Beyond’ experience across all Moxy hotels in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Jennie Toh, Vice President, Brand Marketing and Brand Management Asia Pacific, Marriott International.
“Moxy has always challenged the status quo by inviting guests to live in the moment. With the campaign, we are bringing Moxy’s ‘Play On’ spirit to another dimension through fun, immersive experiences while creating greater connections with our guests.”
Before arriving in-person to each hotel, guests can access the Moxy Universe via mobile devices to customize their own avatar, with a selection of hairstyles, outfits, and accessories.
Upon checking in at the hotel’s signature Bar Moxy, guests will instantly enter the Moxy Universe by scanning a designated QR marker to unlock a minimum of five challenges throughout the hotel’s guestroom and public spaces to win great prizes.
Hotel guests can unlock challenges in every corner of the Moxy Universe
Whether as a guest or avatar, visitors can fully immerse into the always-buzzing world of Moxy at the hotel and unlock challenges in the Moxy Universe simultaneously.
Step into Bar Moxy – the social heart of the hotel, which doubles up as the hotel’s front desk and offers guests a ‘Got Moxy’ cocktail upon check-in. After getting their room keys, guests can scan the QR marker at the bar to view holographic projections and take photos with life-sized avatars as they sip curated cocktails.
At Moxy’s 24/7 Grab & Go self-service concept, guests can access what they want, whenever they want with snacks and beverages to satisfy any late-night cravings. At the Grab & Go area, guests can also unlock a challenge by taking a photo with their avatar and hashtagging #moxyuniverse.
Exercise can be even more fun with an avatar that doubles up as a workout buddy. Guests can take the challenge and sweat it out with their avatar at the hotel’s 24-hour Fitness Center decked out with a boxing bag, signature racing bike and other equipment.
Moxy’s stylish and smart bedrooms intermix edgy details with functionality and are cleverly designed to maximize space, allowing guests the flexibility to adapt the room to their needs.
Enjoy the smart features of a fun-sized work surface and peg walls instead of closets, as the avatar will need all the space when they start busting dance moves on the bed for the challenge.
