I think it’s great because the kids are experiencing something, they're being physical, they're solving problems, they're building stuff, they're creating… It’s not that idea of sitting on a device and flicking through and staring at a video. It’s super interactive.” – One More Page Podcast KIDS DEVELOPMENT • Experiences are highly physical and movement-based; getting kids up and moving • A high-quality digital experience without the screens • Encourages imaginative play • Encourages social/emotional skills development through teamwork, collaboration, empathy • Great for parents and kids to play together • A new way to engage with books and stories, by playing as a character YOU WILL NEED • A wifi network • One device per player (ideally pocket-sized so you can move around easily) • One pair of headphones per player • Some simple household items – seem episode info for details HOW DOES IT WORK Kids/families play together in small groups using simple, accessible household items (blankets, cushions, chairs etc) to create the imagined story world. Each player will need a mobile device and a pair of headphones as each player hears the story from their character's point of view. Players then follow along with the story, playing out the action as instructed through the audio. Audioplay is something akin to a play-along podcast or building blanket forts with a soundtrack only much better as everyone hears the story from a different character’s point of view.

We are currently working on a fix which should be out soon. Hopefully you will give the app another shot when this is resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It would be great if you could download the update and give it a try :) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-07-22* Omg i love the app **Developer response:** Wooo! that's fantastic to hear! thanks for the feedback :) ### 5/5 — Awesome! 🤩 *2020-10-20* This is such a addictive game!, but luckily you don’t have to look at a screen.
