GPTrex scavenger hunt iPhone app screenshotGPTrex adventures give your family more to explore at cultural and tourism destinations nationwide. This growing collection of interactive stories, adventures and scavenger hunts adds new excitement to your family outings!

The GPTrex app for iPhones is designed by parents and educators specifically for families with children 8-12 years old. It helps families get outside to participate in interactive, real-world adventures at some of their favorite venues – museums, zoos, parks, and more!

Step 1: Download the FREE iPhone app
Get started by downloading the GPTrex app directly from the iTunes Store or App Store. This app is currently compatible with all Apple iOS4 devices – the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The GPTrex app is specially designed to load fast and run great on any data connection – EDGE, 3G or WiFi.

Step 2: Find adventures at nearby venues
The main menu automatically finds and displays nearby adventures. Some are free; some may be accessed with in-app purchases of $2.99. You can also choose to continue previous adventures.

Step 3: Have an adventure!
Choose from a range of interactive stories, adventures and scavenger hunts at nearby venues. Please note that an additional admission charge may be required at some venues. Each location-based activity will give your family more to explore at your own pace! You could be solving puzzles, chasing bad guys, identifying animals, or any one of countless possible adventures!

Step 4: Earn points and share your success
Families may choose to opt-in to an online ranking, which recognizes the most adventuresome families! Families may also choose to share their adventures on Facebook. Both features are optional.

New family-friendly adventures are being added regularly. If you have an idea for an adventure, or would like to create GPTrex adventures for your venue, contact us here.
