Playshifu – One of the best augmented reality games for kids

Fun and learning with one of the best augmented reality based games available to kids in India- discover PlayShifu with us!

This summer, introduce your kids to one of the new concepts of infotainment. We just finished reviewing the Augmented Reality based educational kids game called PlayShifu and the team has fallen in love with this unique product. 

First of all, let’s find out what is Augmented Reality (AR)?

Well! It is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user’s view of the real world, thereby providing a composite view. And this aspect is intriguing not just for little ones but their parents alike. Besides, it’s so much fun and ensures interactivity. 

How does it work?:

We tried our hands on the Safari version. Its a simple 4 step process:

1. Download the app from the link: www.playshifu.com/#safari. Launch the app and place the device on the stand (provided in the prepackaged box).

2. Bring Shifu cards in the play area and see various animals pop out.

3. Touch the animal to see how it moves, what sounds it makes.

4. Tap “spell” to play a fun game involving alphabets and animal names.

Here is a quick video to show you how to get started and what’s there in it:
