A smartphone adventure for families
Calling all adventurers!
This summer go on a free interactive adventure around King’s Lynn, in West Norfolk. Using your phone, you will explore urban green spaces, local wildlife, and experience new ways to connect to each other and to the nature around you.
This is an interactive digital game for children aged 7-13 and their grownups.
Following on from the success of Common Ground, a Norfolk & Norwich Festival 250 project supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, we are delighted to have worked with interactive theatre company Coney and Norfolk Wildlife Trust on a free interactive phone adventure across King’s Lynn, in West Norfolk.
The game explores urban green spaces, local wildlife and offers players a new way to experience the visible and more hidden heritage of King’s Lynn.
Can you help Judy?
Judy, from Norfolk Wildlife Trust, wants to reconnect her brother to the unnoticed magic of King’s Lynn – and she needs your help. Through discovering secret spots, taking field recordings and breaking codes, families are invited to see the brilliance of nature on their doorstep and hopefully become a Nature Corridor Protector!
Important information
Age guidance: For children aged 7-13 and their grownups.
Duration: the game takes around 40 minutes to play
Location: Pick up a map at Stories of Lynn info desk, Saturday Market Pl, King’s Lynn PE30 5DQ. This will take you to 4 locations in the local area.
What to bring: Each group needs one fully charged smartphone, with access to mobile data and the ability to send/receive texts and calls. The game is played outdoors and involves walking around King’s Lynn, so we recommend comfortable clothing.
How does it work: The smartphone adventure uses a free mobile website, so you won’t need to download an app (but you will need access to mobile data). Clues and directions will be shared by links, texts and phone calls directing you across several outdoor locations in King’s Lynn. These are all 5 to 10 minute walks from one another.
Tickets
The game is free to play. You’ll be required to send a small number text messages (up to 5), charged at your normal rate.
