Discover the NEW Gruffalo Spotter App features at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo

  • Wednesday 26th August 2020

Calling all Gruffalo Spotters! LAUNCHING SEPTEMBER 3rd, the NEW Gruffalo Spotters 2 App will now enable you and your family to create new memories with the added features. With The Gruffalo Spotters 2 App, you can now record videos, interact with the characters and take a selfie with The Gruffalo and Mouse.

Using the very latest Augmented Reality technology, the free app brings to life the characters from the much-loved Gruffalo.

Families can learn about the characters from the best-selling picture book, written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, and interact with the 3D characters from the film on the self-led trails, which are also packed with fantastic facts about forest animals, and fun activities. Through cutting-edge face and body recognition technology, the characters now look at the children directly, encouraging them to play along. Parents can save images and videos on their devices and share them using the #GruffaloSpotters hashtag.

Mixing animated characters with the real-world environment, the app encourages children to get exploring, firing their imaginations and enabling them to have an all-new forest experience.
