FREE family fun interactive game in Heathfield. DESCRIPTION:\nThis December-have fun with your kids tracking down the Heath field Christmas Trail.\nThis Christmas\, local families will be able to tr ack down Christmas themed animals in ‘Santa needs you’ an augmented re ality trail game running in Heathfield now. Participation is free and a pe rfect way to get some exercise\, occupy the kids and explore our town.\n\n Wealden District Council has teamed up with Heathfield and Waldron Parish Council and Heathfield Chamber of Commerce to run the trail this festive s eason as part of its ‘Shop &\; Dine Well in Wealden’ campaign.\n\ nThe ‘Santa Needs You!’ augmented reality trail is an enjoyable\, safe and socially distanced event taking place until 31 December 2021 in Heath field town centre. Families are encouraged to explore the town centre in a trail that challenges children to find ten cute Christmas characters on s tickers located in shop windows. Families can scan each character’s QR code on their smartphones to learn the animal’s names\, stories and see them in AR – without the need to download or sign up to anything.  Youn ger children will delight in spotting the cute and colourful characters in window displays whilst older (and grown-up children) can have fun taking silly selfies in augmented reality.  After spotting all ten animals\, pla yers will be rewarded with a free e-book that concludes the story.\n\nThe animal characters have been specially commissioned for the trail and have been modelled in 3D for augmented reality\, ‘Pokémon Go’ style. The u se of augmented reality means that players can not only discover the chara cters in participating businesses windows\, but they actually get to see t hem burst to life in front of them and can take selfies or even record mov ies with them. The trail takes about 45 minutes to complete and is free. W ith safety in mind\, it has been designed so that there is no need to go i nside\, but some participating businesses are offering extra incentives to shop locally via the ‘Think Heathfield’ Rewards initiative.\nYou can find out more via the link below:\nThe trail game in Heathfield\, Wadhurst and Crowborough is being delivered by Prowse &\; Co.
