The fun part of this to me is all but the WiFi aspect. It has:

- a mesh-based social network - a cute character - a builtin game - adjusts to the environment

It sounds like an awesome social game, even if it doesn't have any purpose, and turning this into a mesh communication network would even give it an aspect of usefulness. I can see two ways this could blow up:

- at big parties, think Burning Man or Chaos Communication Congress, where people get embedded devices (like the CardIO) which encourage meeting others - everyday, to find connections in unlikely places, with a similar app running on your phone (the Librem5 would be a good starting point)
