Gatwick Stroll

Inspirations

Our project aims to to make airport gate waiting less stressful and more entertaining.

What it does

We have created a 3D interactive game where passengers control a character moving around the gate, collecting coins. These coins can then be used to play mini-arcade games, and winning tickets are redeemable for rewards at the gate. This transforms idle waiting time into fun while opening commercial opportunities for the airport.

How we built it

We built the project using Godot and Blender. Blender allowed us to create and modify detailed 3D models and assets for the airport gate and game environment, while Godot provided a lightweight, open-source engine with flexible 3D support. Using these tools, we programme character movement, coin collection, and arcade mini game mechanics , and integrated a ticket and reward system so in-game achievements could be redeemed for real world rewards. We tested extensively to ensure smooth, intuitive gameplay that is fun and engaging for passengers of all ages.

Challenges we ran into

• Balancing gameplay to be fun but not too complex for short waits.
• Creating a polished 3D environment within limited time. -Designing intuitive controls for all types of passengers ## Accomplishments that we're proud of
• Developed a fully playable gate game from scratch. -Received positive feedback for making waiting enjoyable. -Successfully merged 3D modelling ## What we learned -How to design engaging, short session gameplay. -integrating virtual and real-world systems effectively. -Working collaboratively under tight deadlines. ## What's next for Gatwick Stroll -Add more mini games. -Explore mobile integration for passenger devices. Partner with airport vendors for more tangible rewards. Collect passenger engagement data to improve gameplay and revenue potential.
