Thousands of participants will duel it out for the main prize, the first all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQC. The game starts at 7 pm sharp.
Managing and defending energy
In the two-and-a-half hour game, the aim is to conquer the all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQC using energy. Only the last remaining participant in the game will succeed. Before that, it's all about charging up energy as quickly as possible, managing it well and defending it.
It's up to each player to decide how to approach this game strategically: Am I more of a collector and stay out of as many conflicts as possible? Do I compete against other players in a gripping battle mode to steal their energy? If you drop to zero percent energy, you're out.
Plenty of action and lots of fun
Game events such as a shrinking game area, digital storms or EMP traps set by participants ensure energy loss, plenty of action and lots of fun.
In thrilling duels, the participants challenge each other, steal each other's hard-won energy and stay in the game as long as possible - because in the end, only one person can remain: the winner of Switzerland's first EQC.
Electric Quest and electromobility
Mercedes-Benz set a new trend with mixed reality games in 2016, nine months before Pokemon Go. Tens of thousands of gamers followed suit.
Electric Quest now accompanies the start of a new, all-electric Mercedes-Benz era: Electric Quest is emblematic of Stuttgart's electric offensive.
Ten all-electric models
Over the next three years, Mercedes-Benz will launch more than ten purely electric models in all model series. The ambition: CO2-neutral mobility by 2039. Mixed reality games stand for the connection between people and technology.
This connectivity is also increasingly finding its way into Mercedes-Benz: innovative technologies such as augmented reality in the navigation system and voice control based on deep learning and artificial intelligence support user-friendliness and ease of use.
The main prize is a Mercedes-Benz EQC
The first all-electric Mercedes-Benz from the EQ brand has been available to order since June and will be delivered from November. The winner of Electric Quest can therefore call themselves the first EQC owner. The winner will receive the vehicle for one year. Including insurance, road tax and electricity worth CHF 3000.
