  • Potential features of this initiative include AR portals for digital art, quests, scavenger hunts, and community world-building activities.

  • The project will kick off with a closed beta at Meow Wolf’s Convergence Station in Denver later in 2025, testing connections between the real world and Meow Wolf's storytelling.

  • If successful, this initiative may evolve into a multiplayer platform where users can explore art, engage with narratives, and face spatial challenges.

  • Niantic Spatial, a spin-off of Niantic's geospatial AI unit, is leveraging technology from its successful game, Pokémon Go, which was sold for $3.5 billion.

  • Earlier in 2025, Meow Wolf also announced plans for its seventh permanent exhibition in New York City.

  • The collaboration aims to extend Meow Wolf's experiences beyond physical locations, allowing users to engage with art in everyday environments like city streets and parks.

  • Meow Wolf has announced a partnership with Niantic Spatial to enhance its immersive art universe through augmented reality (AR).

  • Thomas Gewecke, president of Niantic Spatial, highlighted that Meow Wolf's unique narrative aligns perfectly with the concept of geospatial AR, merging real-world surroundings with storytelling.

  • Vince Kadlubek, co-founder of Meow Wolf, emphasized that this collaboration will introduce a new layer of imaginative expression accessible through AR.
