The Challenge
Create a self-guided scavenger tour app for the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park. My goal was to make this scavenger hunt an educational and exciting experience for children.
About XPLOR
The XPLOR app is a self-guided scavenger hunt for sculptures through the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park. It offers clues and a map to help the child find each sculpture on the map. It is designed to be interactive so that both child and parent can enjoy this experience and learn some new things along the way.
The tour style can be changed through settings to fit the needs of the child by including more activities that are more specific to their interests as well as changing appropriate content for every age.

Inspiration
Prototyping
I created paper prototypes of the app to test the flow and activities of the app. I explained the idea for the app and received feedback for shortening the length of sentences, adding an audio feature, and including more imaginative activities.
Brandsquares
I explored ways of creating characters, color, pattern, layout and pieces of the app that would be engaging for kids.
