Based on the insights of the first phase while always having the user in mind we phrased our problem. We came up with "what-if" questions for the different interest groups (customers, small business owners, and Finnair itself) to address their views, pain points and needs. This created guidance for the design phase, but also kept it broad enough to ideate on the final problem statement.

Finnair can disrupt the industry, allowing the continuous generation of new, innovative revenue streams.
In only eight days we ideated, tested and designed high-fidelity prototypes for our winning concept: Adventure Starter. The final version of the prototype even included our very own unique blockchain currency called Adventure Tokens (ATs).
Welcome to
A global community of travellers, small businesses and experiences that come together to enable great, meaningful adventures.

Onni, Adventure Creator
"I travel a lot and want to do it for a living."
Mei just booked Onni’s adventure. His next trip is now funded! Thanks to his popular “Beyond the Arctic Circle” adventure, Onni has enough tokens to take him and his partner on another adventure – for free.
Onni uses his tokens to book an epic backpacking trip in China. Once booked, his tokens flow back into the ecosystem, rewarding everyone involved in the “Along the Great Wall” adventure.
Some month later. Onni is on his adventure. As his travel companion, Adventure Starter knows his itinerary. He just completed a particularly cool hike around some mountains when Adventure Starter nudges him for feedback.
He's asked to add a quick tip and give feedback.
Because he liked his trip, he leaves a tip as well as adding adding two pictures.
He receives a few tokens in return for his feedback.

"I want to grow my business and share my passion for the local area."
Mei left a tip for Mikael’s husky safari, which has led to a wave of interest in his experiences. His business page on Adventure Starter has quickly filled up with photos, recommendations and memories from customers.
Mikael creates a campaign for a new experience idea. With the campaign published, it’s discoverable on the platform and select members get notified. By pledging tokens, they get to support Mikael’s business and receive early adopter access to the new proposed experience.
It also ties their profile to the experience – meaning when other people purchase this experience, they are rewarded with tokens too.

It's also made a strong case for the newly founded Idean UK studios in London.
