Description

WildCard turns Singapore's extraordinary biodiversity into a collectible card game you play in the real world. Singapore is home to over 400 bird species and remarkable urban wildlife, yet most residents walk right past it. Existing biodiversity tools are scientifically valuable but offer no engaging consumer loop. WildCard fixes this. Photograph any animal in the wild, and the app identifies the species, surfaces educational facts, and generates a unique 1-of-1 stylised collector card. Each card carries stat ratings, a rarity tier derived from real GBIF Singapore sighting data and the Singapore Red Data Book, and a sighting stamp with location and date. Rare, Epic, and Legendary cards unlock a short animation, bringing the illustration to life. Cards are saved to a personal field guide tied to Singapore's complete species registry (~300 fauna records).

The linked repo returns 404, so it was deleted or made private.
