[LONDON] 21st October 2020: Cape r, the UK-based start-up providing interactive entertainment tofamilies, releases an enchanting new adventure,Spellville, in time for Halloween and the Half Term school holidays.
Caper is the app that gets families off the screen and out into nature playing together. A ‘caper' is an original story designed to be enjoyed by the whole family, balancing the screen time experience kids crave, with the real-world play parents know is good for them.
Thousands of families downloaded the beta version of the app during the first lockdown period, and found Caper's first series,Captain Redtail,a welcome source of healthy, active fun and joy during incredibly challenging times.
With the launch ofSpellville,Caper aims to provide families with children aged 4-8 with a way to make this Halloween more magical and memorable than ever before. Additionally,SpellvilleandCaptain
Redtailoffer families hours of inspirational play activities that are ideal Half Term boredom-busters.
Graham Denney, Chief Creative Officer and Co-founder of Caper said:
"Spellvilleis an enchanting new caper which features Holly Goodspell, voiced by actressMill y Roberts.Spellville invites children and their parents into a rich imaginary world filled with magical tasks and hilarious activities designed to get kids moving and creating. The caper offers a completely new experience that does not involve an evening of knocking on doors and asking for treats, instead taking families to their local park during the day for a fantastic autumnal adventure. Of course, it is even more fun if everyone dresses up in Halloween costumes while they play!"
Ben Geliher, CEO and Co-founder of Caper, formerly Lead Producer at Mind Candy, said:
"The current uncertainty around (and in some areas total cancellation of) trick or treating plans due to
COVID-19 means that families are looking for something different to do for Halloween and Half Term. We want to provide parents and children with a positive way to have fun together while capturing the special magic of this time of year.
Caper's real-world, nature-focused play aims to tackle the damaging effects that sedentary lifestyles and a lack of connection to nature are having on children. We think this is a hugely important and relevant issue, and were able to raise our concerns with the Prime Minister last month when he actually played a caper at Number 10, as part of London Tech Week."
