A spooktacular new augmented reality trail will be launching this week in Skipton with prizes to be won.
The LoyalFree app, in partnership with Skipton Business Improvement District have created this trail which will run from the 14th of October until the 31st of October.
The trail tells the story of the forgetful witch Wanda and her feline familiar Wicca. Wicca is missing and to find her Wanda must create a potion - but Wanda’s potion cupboard is bare!
This free interactive activity invites participants to journey around the trail, checking in at each location to reveal and collect the potion ingredients. As participants follow the trail, scanning the QR codes at each spooky location, they will be entered into a prize draw to win two fantastic Halloween Hampers, which include a selection of a £50 food voucher for the Narrowboat, Afternoon Tea for two at the Cake ‘Ole, a box of cakes from Elsworth Kitchen along with a selection of gifts from Teddy Boutique, Strange Games, Cool Cards and Gifts, Lighthouse Lane and Myrtle and Webb. The more QR codes scanned, the more chances of winning!
The trail brings the story to life with a mixture of video and augmented reality. Participants can expect to see floating potion ingredients appear magically in front of them when using their smartphone camera!
Participants can also share their frightening photos on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter and use the hashtag #LFHALLOWEENHUNT and tag @WelcometoSkipton for a chance to be entered into an additional national competition to win a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds Live Wireless Earphones.
Sarah Howsen, Skipton BID Manager said: “we are really excited to bring an augmented reality trail to Skipton. The trail provides a fantastic opportunity to get families out and about in the half term holidays spending quality time together. By offering a free trail it means everyone can have fun and all you need is your smartphone! Skipton BID look forward to continuing to support our local business with these new exciting initiatives."
LoyalFree’s Partnerships Manager, Sophie Carrick said "LoyalFree is thrilled to be rolling out our first augmented reality trail. The technology is cutting edge and offers a tremendous opportunity for local promotion. The trails are free of charge and represent a great free day out for families. We would love to see local residents and visitors enjoying the trail and discovering previously unknown businesses while exploring the area."
