ConKill
A live-action assassination game platform for cosplay conventions where cosplayers accept missions to 'eliminate' targets by taking stealthy photos of them from behind. Players register their cosplay character, receive assassination contracts through a mobile app, and must hunt down their targets while avoiding other assassins in a convention-wide game of cat-and-mouse.
The Wow Moment
You're walking through the convention floor in full costume, phone buzzes with a contract: 'Eliminate the Spider-Man near the artist alley by 3pm.' You spot your target, weave through the crowd, line up the perfect stealth shot from behind, and tap 'ELIMINATE.' The app flashes 'TARGET NEUTRALIZED' as Spider-Man's phone simultaneously buzzes 'YOU'VE BEEN ASSASSINATED' — suddenly everyone around you pulls out their phones and you realize half the crowd are players in this invisible game you can't see.

The Wow Moment
You point your camera at a wall of 200 identical-looking vitamin D bottles, and the app instantly highlights YOUR perfect match with a glowing pyramid overlay showing why - 'you need this form because your genetic data shows poor absorption of standard D3, and 87% of users with your profile report energy boosts within 2 weeks' - while flagging popular options that would waste your money.
