The concept is simple but effective. And he is made in France. The Exporz application allows you to win rewards when you go out for a walk, transforming any place into a large playground.
Walk and be rewarded
Another activity that the young entrepreneur likes since childhood: treasure hunt. Exporz is rightly imposed as a summary of all these elements. The application is based on an interactive map, like Pokémon Go, which covers the entire French territory. Even the campaign and the remote areas (provided you capture the Internet)!
“” Your phone geolocates you. Then you will see lots of chests appear around you. They are more or less rare, classified by themes, and you must go and get them Summates the leader. Once a chest is recovered, it is possible to open it directly or keep it in your backpack. The key, users can access awards from partnership between Exporz and brands.
“” We work, for example, with Nike or Lego. These brands provide us with prizes where we make affiliation, with promo codes or similar offers “Explains Alexandre Pages. In addition to a premium subscription which unlocks more features, these partnerships allow Exporz to pay themselves. “” When you are looking for a chest physically, the experience with the brand is quite advanced, much more than with a simple ad on social networks or in the metro “, He analyzes.
Desires elsewhere
The application is also intended to strengthen social ties. With this in mind, it is adapted to all ages, both for young people, parents wishing to play with their children and for older people. And the awards are precisely thought of accordingly. For example, the company established, in the summer of 2024, a partnership with the GIGN for the fifty years of the organization, allowing all French people to go in search of the 50,000 chests scattered through the territory.
It is a paid formula. Launched in early 2023, Exporz has more than 250,000 users worldwide, and it does not intend to stop on such a good path. Already present in Spain, Germany in Switzerland or even in Belgium in addition to France, the platform wishes to conquer new countries such as the United States or Australia.
All this obviously requires important technical capacities. And there is no shortage of the young shoot, she even developed her own algorithms of artificial intelligence and geolocation, which remain unchanged according to the regions of the world. “” Our priority was to preserve the battery, as many geolocation applications can empty it in a few minutes. We have done a lot of optimization », Blovers the CEO.
The other algorithm analyzes all around the user, and generates secure game points. “” We are not going to send you in the middle of the sea “, He jokes. In this way, Exporz offers tailor -made courses, thought as a function of where we are and what we like. On the data protection side, the startup indicates respecting the GDPR; Players’ information is encrypted and stored in France.
Draw more on video games
The entrepreneur does not lack ideas. It must be said that he knew how to forge a robust experience; From his 19th birthday, he joined the founding team of the Station F campus, where he spent six years as a technical director. “” A lot of entrepreneurs went to station F. I think it inspired me a lot, even unconsciously, like working with Xavier Niel because he was very involved in the project He recalls.
In addition to wanting to conquer other regions of the world, Exporz intends to draw inspiration from emblematic video games like Fortnite. “” We want to introduce games right now on weekends. There would be a little more sense 500, even 1,000 people who would find themselves and to participate in it “, Details Alexandre Pages. The goal is to bring people together physically, ever being inspired by the world of video games.
