The MonsterVillain ‘Safari’ is in Inverness City Centre!

This October holidays families in Inverness City Centre can hunt down and bring ‘MonsterVillains’ to life on their smartphones!

A free and creepy (but also extremely cute) family trail of monsters is going live soon give families a socially distanced, contactless and fun activity to do in October.

The trail to find the 10 ‘MonsterVillains’ takes on average about 45 minutes to complete and is completely free for families and groups to take part in. At around 1.5 miles or 3,500 steps it should keep families fit and active too, while providing a fun way to get back to the UK’s attractions, high streets and shopping centres.

The Safari works by utilising contactless QR codes, without the need for families to download or sign up to anything. 10 vinyl window monsters, all specially created for this project have been placed in businesses for families to hunt down. There is no need to actually go inside the venues, but some participating businesses are offering extra incentives to come in while you visit.

When families scan each character’s unique QR code the monster will come to life in an animation on their smartphone and they’ll learn their names, stories and powers. Younger children will enjoy spotting the colourful characters in shop windows and older kids, and grown-up ones, will engage by hearing the stories. After finding all 10 MonsterVillains, families will be rewarded with another, free eBook, a follow up adventure, again written specially for the trail.
