"Company") (CSE: EPY) (CSE: EPY.CN) (CNSX: EPY) (FRANKFURT: 2NY2) -- Be Heart of It, the Hollywood-based entertainment company and Mobovivo, ePlay Digital's
subsidiary acquisition in process, announced a new partnership and upcoming app that brings augmented reality, exclusive content,

winning sports and entertainment engagement platform to bring the augmented reality experience to fans and celebrity users of Be
Heart of It. The new partnership helps fans, athletes and music artists to engage in augmented reality. Augmented reality is a
technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite
view1.

Go app, gets users on their phones unlocking exclusive content about their favorite brands and people. The app uses
location-based technology, augmented reality, selfies and exclusive content to bring fans and celebrities closer together.
Pokemon Go, the #1 app of summer 2016, helps users engage with the Pokemon brand while they are in the real world, by bringing
virtual world content to fans devices. Be Heart of It and Mobovivo are applying the same technology and game-play popularized by
Pokemon Go to musicians, athletes, sports teams and stadiums by unlocking exclusive content using augmented reality at the
concert or the sporting event.

It activates the camera and unlocks a whole virtual world, right on top of the physical world."
"Be Heart of It brings the physical and virtual world together," says Trevor Doerksen, CEO and Founder for Mobovivo. "For the
first time ever, fans can engage with athletes and musicians through selfies and augmented reality while at the game or the
concert, even while watching on TV."
The app will be available for use on Android and Apple tablets and smartphones.
