Take emojis and stickers offline to real life.
Incorporate into messaging systems (Facebook, Viber, a new app just for this) the ability for users to “leave” messages, emojis and stickers at real life spots in the city. When the recipient approaches the spot, the system will either show him the message or guide him to the place (a game like hot-or-cold) and then show him. The spot can be a meaningful one, or just somewhere the sender knows the recipient will be like on route home.

A game app that gives you hints on where to go. When you find such a place the app – using augmented reality – will show you facts, stories and additional “things” when you point the camera at the spot. You can collect “stuff” from places you managed to find.
