    We came for a quick walk and stayed two hours. My seven-year-old ran ahead to every plaque and the little one did the stomping challenges with total commitment. Shelly's Sunshine Flower is now requested at bedtime.

    Lovely way to get round Cannock Chase. The story pulled both of mine along. One stop was a bit hard to find under the trees, but the map in the app sorted it.

    Thank you! We've added a little extra signpost so the tricky stop is easier to spot. See you on the next one.

  • Example review
    Three kids, three different ages, zero complaints about walking. That has never happened before. The narration is genuinely funny and the badges at the end were a big hit.

    We've done a lot of trails and this is the first one that felt like being inside a story rather than reading signs. Really well made.
