An Activity for Every Chapter
Every chapter has a cliffhanger ending where your child steps in to keep the story moving. Guided by our simple-to-use parental dashboard, each reading experience is followed by a personalized online game or an exciting real-life challenge. From cracking a digital code to searching for missing puzzle pieces around the house, every activity has your child working their wits and imagination.
Personalized Adventures Together
Our technology needs parent-power to run! In addition to customizing the reading experience to your child’s name, you play a vital part in the storytelling experience. In the Hot & Cold game, parents set up a few “hotspots” in the nearby park or neighbourhood for their child to discover using GPS. These waypoints need to be uncovered to continue the character’s quest.
Cute Coincidences
In the scavenger hunt challenge, your child needs to find all the missing pieces of a newspaper article to uncover the full story. These hiding places can be as intimate as under your child’s pillow or as silly inside the kitchen pantry! These points are all set up from your parental account, creating a gaming experience that’s as unique as your child.
I know somebody who can help us,” Norris said. “Let’s hope they can do it again. Unimind, contact the Agent!”
