The popular chocolate egg with surprise toy has a new way of enjoying the treat. Applaydu, the new app from Kinder, is now available in Canada. Developed with Gameloft, and educational guidance from Oxford University, Applaydu brings Kinder Surprise toys to life and opens a world of fun and discovery for families with games, stories, and opportunities for creativity and exploration.
Designed for children from four to nine years old, but fun for the whole family, Applaydu provides an unbranded experience and is designed to foster bonding time as parents and their children can play and discover together.
“Kinder has always been about creating special moments of joy for parents to connect with their children and finding new ways to learn, explore and create while building lasting memories,” said Laura MacCarthy, Marketing Director, Kinder. “With a whole world of mini-games and activities to explore in Applaydu, even more surprises and special moments are in store for Canadian families with each Kinder Surprise.”
The Kinder Applaydu experience includes:
· An Augmented Reality Experience that brings your children’s toys to life in the app by scanning the leaflet included in Kinder Surprise.
· Mini-Games help your children build skills such as organization, memory, rhythm, and motor skills, and teaches them information about subjects such as math, geography and music.
· “Craft Your Story” helps your kids learn sounds and vocabulary. Each crafted story becomes a personalized book that is stored in their library.
· Unlockable “gifts,” including animated 3D characters, avatar costumes, and personalized adventure books, are awarded for completing achievements and experiences within the app.
· Customizable avatars allow your children to portray their favourite animals and characters.
· Parental controls, including a pin-protected feature through which parents can follow their children’s development and progress with detailed activity reports.
Applaydu is available to download on the App Store and Google Play.
