A Swindon couple has taken their love for nature and turned it into an exciting app, initially to help keep children aged 3 and 6 excited about exploring the great outdoors, but they have now made the app available to all, for free.
The idea for Huntly was born when Scott and Tabitha noticed how thrilled their two little boys were while exploring nature and going on quests. Witnessing the joy and enthusiasm their children had for the outdoors, the family decided to share this experience with other parents and children by making Huntly available to everyone.
What makes Huntly stand out is that it’s not just any ordinary scavenger hunt app; it’s much more fun and engaging! Young explorers can choose from various quests, such as “Shapes in Nature,” “Creature Search,” “Tall Timbers,” and more.
Once a quest is selected, the children embark on an exciting journey to find all the items on their quest list. They can choose to complete the quest in one go or spread it out over several days, adding to the anticipation and excitement.
During their adventure, explorers have the option to capture the magic of their findings by taking photos of the quest items they discover. Once the quest is completed, they earn badges that are proudly displayed on the badge screen – a source of immense excitement and achievement for the young adventurers.
The Huntly app, which has been downloaded 1,458 times since being made available in May, has received heartwarming feedback from parents who express delight in seeing the world through their children’s eyes when looking at the photos at the end of each quest. The joy and wonder experienced by the little ones create cherished memories for both parents and children alike.
One of the most appealing aspects of Huntly is its focus on promoting a healthy and enjoyable lifestyle. It encourages physical activity, exploration of nature, engagement with the environment, and constant learning. Most importantly, it emphasizes the importance of having fun while appreciating the natural world.
The creators of Huntly are determined to make the app accessible to all families and have made it 100% free, without any in-app purchases, hidden fees, or ads. The app is a labour of love for the family, and their primary goal is to provide a wholesome and family-oriented activity for parents and children to enjoy together.
Due to the app’s popularity and positive reception, the family has also created a unique “Super Shopper” quest to keep little explorers entertained during the weekly grocery shopping. The “Super Shopper” quest is an excellent way to keep children engaged and content during what can often be a tedious task.
With Huntly, the spirit of adventure and the wonder of nature is now at the fingertips of children across the globe. This local family has not only created an app for their own children but has also gifted a joyous experience to children and parents worldwide. So, if you’re ready for a treasure hunt like no other, join the Huntly community and start exploring today!
