After successfully eluding San Franciscans, it looks like our Frank Kozik x MAQET Gold Heathrow has been captured elsewhere. Congrats to Mike, who, armed with the GoldRun augmented reality app, found Gold Heathrow hanging out in this tree. Nice!
Want to hang a Heathrow from your own tree? We’ve got Holiday Heathrow ornaments available now.
We thought we’d dress up Heathrow in the signature stripes of that other perpetually lost fellow, Where’s Waldo. Have you seen Heathrow in San Francisco? He’s still out there as part of the Designer Toy Scavenger Hunt. GoldRun just let us know that they’ve increased the radius of Heathrow’s Hot Zone, which makes it a bit easier for you to stumble across him. We’re going to help you out with an additional clue: The special Gold Heathrow is located in one of our favorite San Francisco neighborhoods, The Mission. His exact coordinates are reachable by public transportation, too. If you’re BARTing in from across the Bay, you’ll want to exit at 16th and Mission. Heathrow awaits you in walking distance. Go get him!
MAQET is all about the combination of technology and tradition. We like designing online and holding an actual art object. So when GoldRun invited us to participate in their augmented reality Designer Toy Scavenger Hunt, it was a no-brainer. Not only did we say yes, but we got fellow San Franciscan, Frank Kozik, to re-imagine everyone’s favorite Plastin® Hedgehog as a striking GOLD trophy. Meet the radiant gold Heathrow the Hedgehog…if you can find him!
To find the gilded Heathrow, you need to be in San Francisco with your iPhone and the free GoldRun app.
Here’s what he looks like in reality, but you need to locate him in augmented reality. The Gold Heathrow is officially up for grabs through November 30th. We’ll be providing clues to his whereabouts here on the blog, and also on MAQET’s Twitter and Facebook Fan Page. So stay tuned and click through for a clue!
