The Christmas season is often an expensive time, with budgets stretched and penny banks emptied. So how about some family festive fun without the price tag?
Inverness Business Improvement District (BID) has got you sorted, and is running a free virtual reality Hunt for the Lost Toys around the city centre for families to enjoy throughout the whole month of December.
Hunt for the Lost Toys is located at 10 stops in Inverness city centre where participants will be guided on their trip by The Luminauts – a team of superheroes – on an adventure as they find all the lost presents.
Using a smartphone participants can follow a map which will lead them to a number of different shop windows.
At each stop players can then “release” cheeky Christmas Imps, seeing them burst to life in augmented reality.
Margaret Laws, communications and administration manager at Inverness BID, said: “Hunt for the Lost Toys brings a new Christmas adventure to the city centre and is a great way to get together and have fun!
“It’s an exciting and innovative trail and we hope it will bring lots of families to the city this Christmas.”
The trail should take about 45 minutes in total to complete – but participants are free to split their efforts over more than one visit.
Everyone who takes part will receive a digital funpack at the end as well as being entered into a draw to win a £25 City Centre Gift Card.
The trail works without the need to download or sign up to anything, and works on any smart device.
