Revolutionizing travel through location-based personalized missions and gamified experiences
Bravication is an innovative travel application designed to tackle the growing problem of overtourism while providing travelers with unique, personalized experiences. By combining location-based recommendations with gamified challenges, we break tourists out of their comfort zones and disperse crowds from hotspots.
Service creates new missions based on the current location, helping users have a more instant experience.
Gamified challenges break tourists out of comfort zones, dispersing crowds from overtourism hotspots while fostering authentic local connections through personalized, location-based missions.
Dynamic, never-repeated experiences tailored to your exact location and preferences - not just the same recommendations everyone else gets.
Personalized challenges based on your preferences, frequency, and current location.
Generate additional missions anytime you're ready for more adventure.
Relive your brave moments through photo-based mission history.

Many people travel and receive the same route recommendations through web surfing, AI recommendations, blog recommendations, etc., experiencing identical journeys. Bravication addresses this by offering new experiences and new challenges, becoming a new travel trend for 2025.
Our solution provides users with new experiences by offering them fun or challenging missions based on their location while they are traveling.
