QuestoWorld is a kind of metaverse in the real world that where players complete quests by walking outdoors. And it will soon reward players with non-fungible tokens for walking outdoors and buying virtual real estate.

The company bills its Pokémon Go-style game as a kind of a gaming NFT metaverse (the universe of virtual worlds that are all interconnected, like in novels such as Snow Crash and Ready Player One). built on top of the real world and the Ethereum blockchain network.

Unlike other NFT gaming projects, this game gets people to go outside and walk around to find things. It’s similar to geocaching or Pokémon Go. But it differs in that it uses what’s already in the city: statues, buildings, small elements, said CEO Alex Govoreanu, in an interview with GamesBeat.
