Monsarrat - The Next Big Thing in Mobile AR Gaming

Our founder previously co-created the $54B MMO game market, a new category of gaming, by founding Turbine (Lord of the Rings Online, Asheron's Call), one of the "big three" first MMO game companies, a new category. Warner Bros. bought Turbine for $160M. Competitor AR mobile walking games earn $1.5B a year, and that works for simple franchises like Pokémon (Pokémon Go). But their "collecting stuff" technology has weak gameplay. They can't support big worlds like Harry Potter, whose fans want strong storytelling. That's what we do. Monsarrat is creating another new category of gaming, with 3 patents that lay out an entire AR fantasy landscape across a public park. Our technology supports the strong storytelling that better retains and monetizes players. Former PlayStation CEO Jack Tretton and Lucasfilm COO David Anderman advise. Our first game is based on an A-list Hollywood franchise. Then we'll launch a game development platform for third parties.
