Class: Senior ThesisYear: 2022-2023
Description
For my senior thesis project I wanted to find a way to combine my two passions, art and fitness. There were a lot of ways I could tackle this project but I tried to not get overwhelmed with the possiblities. Fitness Quest is a fitness app/game hybrid that allows you to complete quests by doing runs. I was able to create a prototype by using the app Figma, and was able to simulate how the app would function. The goal of this thesis was to create an app that would in theory inspire many people to become active/more active. Fitness can sometimes be dreadful or boring so why not make it fun!
This is an example of a moving GIF image that would display while doing a run. There would be multiple GIFs like this depending on the region you would be on. There would be no distractions on these GIFs that would cause someone to look down to their phone while running. I want there to be as little danger as possible while doing your runs on this app.

Here are some of the characters you would encounter on the island. Each one had their own unique interactions and gameplay mechanics. For example, Dizzy (me), is in charge of the achievement hill. On your fitness journey, you will get trophies based off of how fast of a mile you ran, how far of a distance you ran (etc. 5mi, 10mi, 20mi), and runs completed. Then you would be able to choose 3 trophies you were most proud of or which you thought were the coolest to display on your island!

Here is a quick poster key with some explanations to areas and functions of Fitness Quest! This was a poster printout for thesis night for people interested in learning more about my app prototype.

This is a screenshot of what my prototype looked like in Figma. It was a 5 minute demo of how the app would run on startup with its many different paths depending on your current fitness level. Specifically the three options on startup are: What’s running? I run every now and then, and I’m a running Pro! This would tell the game how to set the levels tailored to the persons current fitness.
