Customer
Nature Play WA is a collaborative not-for-profit organisation promoting and supporting children’s unstructured play outdoors (‘nature play’) for the benefit of their health and happiness. The organisation’s primary role is to spread the nature play message and to work to increase access to nature play resources, events and programs.
Challenge
A lot of Nature Play WA’s work involves collaborating on events and programs with Government, local governments and community groups who want to achieve the same health and wellbeing outcomes that nature play promotes and supports. When the COVID-19 global pandemic swept through the world (2020) Nature Play could no longer run the large scale community participation events we had scheduled. We needed to find a new way of doing things.
Solution
The app uses a customised white-label app and the Locatify Creator CMS to enable treasure hunt style games. The games can be outdoors with GPS or indoor using floor maps and optional BLE Beacons.
Testimonial
“The Play Trails app was developed to motivate families to be active, have fun, and learn together in their park, suburb, or local area while maintaining physical distancing. Using the app, families visit trail locations to unlock challenges, solve quiz questions and score points. The team at Locatify have been great and really responsive, we’re very pleased with our app!”
