TADO: AR Character Hunt

Free

Take your smartphone to ten locations dotted around locations in Sheffield city centre, to find cheeky augmented reality (AR) characters made by design duo TADO.

Keen explorers will be able to track them down using their smartphone and a map, available to collect from Site Gallery.

Perfect for families to have some fun in the outdoors. Those familiar with Pokémon GO will know what to do!

The Character Hunt is connected to Playground, an exhibition of digital fun and games hosted at Site Gallery by Children's Media Conference.
