• Spooky Halloween trails

The AR games are suitable for all ages. The app has loads of games across different locations in MK and uses the parks and trails to discover new places and interesting things about the content of the games.

Interactive map

The map section has details of hundreds of resources and items of interest across MK. This includes libraries, leisure centres, Community fridges, Childrens Centres, heritage sites, sculptures, and much more. 

Guided trail routes
