1. One area "scavenger hunt" he thought was amazing when it popped up that too was painful... I think for the juniors a bit more interactive on site would be good so they feel they accomplished something... The walking around with tablet in such a beautiful place he normally enjoys also killed it for us..he had his head down most of the time..The idea is great but tweak maybe? he had more fun when I put tablet back in bag and we created our own adventures looking for venus flytraps in the hot house... sorry to be a downer!! but needs work / didnt work for usSuper fun and educational, my 9yo loved it! Only wish 1 there's more missions for northern california.
2. 2 some clue in regard to what to look for (besides a question mark on the map) as we couldn't find the last place on the quest thus couldn't finish the mission, bummer.Had great fun with this app for a sugar free Easter hunt through the woods.
3. Great concept! Loved it! Had a blast! All until the app wouldn't recognize what my camera was pointing at to let me clear the checkpoint 😩 Wonders of Wildlife jellyfish stop, i was at the correct tank but the automatic camera wouldn't take the shot.
4. Might try again next school year, looked fun tho.Fun game to do with fam if you want to spend time together and the kids love itI am a frustated mom, our family love this game but the kids are more motivated by getting the badges upon completion of the missions.
5. Wish the wording and facts were a bit more suited for children of ALL ages though, especially the age group that actually wants to go on a hunt for clues.This is a great way to engage families in nature if they enjoy using technology.
6. I don't know what it was doing in the background, but this app needs to be optimised for more efficiency.This is a fab idea and Mr 6yo was excited,we explored the Botanic gardens in CHCH.
7. It was so hard to see on tablet due to sunlight, so we had arguments trying to pull it off him to check direction.. the rose gardens ie take a pic of your fav rose I even did this so many times and it still wouldnt confirm the tick.
8. What i did get to see was fun and entertaining though! Just frustrated i wasn't able to complete the tourI used this for an activity at an event I was participating in and it managed to burn 500mb of data in 15 minutes.
9. These places are huge and we walked around so many times and made multiple phone calls and even asked employees at Discovery Cube LA, and still don't know where to claim our badge.
10. Between that and the long minutes spent waiting for the app to open i think it needs a little work.
11. Much healthier than playing video games at home!Interesting Idea but not easy for my 5 year old to use.
