By Martin Booth  Friday Aug 20, 2021

A new augmented reality experience lets you join Bristol’s most famous plasticine duo on an adventure across our city.

Fix Up The City sees business tycoon Bernard Grubb acquire the help of Wallace and Gromit to clean up Bristol ahead of a festival.

The smartphone app is available to download via the App Store or Google Play, allowing users to play with characters in real world settings across Bristol (and also Cardiff and San Francisco if you happen to be there).

“There’s absolutely heaps to do and all manner of contraptions to discover,” say the team from Aardman.

“Roll up your sleeves, switch on your smartphone and get fixing with Wallace & Gromit’s augmented adventure in Bristol.

“Business tycoon Bernard Grubb has commissioned our famous duo to spruce up the city in time for his festival.

“There’s absolutely heaps to do and all manner of contraptions to discover – including the colossal cleaning robot, ‘Big LAD’.

“But help is at hand from BERYL, a fussy yet friendly Artificial Intelligence – perhaps she can help find Gromit, who appears to have gone walkies…”

It is published by Fictioneers, which has been formed out of a joint venture with Sugar Creative, Potato, and Tiny Rebel Games, and developed by Sugar Creative, Potato, and Tiny Rebel Games for Fictioneers in partnership with Aardman.
