Have you heard of the History Hero App?
Living in NYC, we were able to put the History Hero App to good use at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The History Hero app guided us through a type of scavenger hunt as we attempted to save the word from the Erasers. The girls and I thought this was a great way to take museum exploring to a whole other level. We had lots of fun as we went on our real life quest finding important data while enjoying the museum at the same time.
You can use the History Hero app in the following NYC locations:
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Museum of Modern Art
Natural History Museum
South Central Park
You can also use it in the following cities: Chicago, London, Minneapolis, New York, Paris, Philadelphia, Rome and Washington D.C.
The International Committee on Extraterrestrial Threats is reporting that the Erasers are closing in on museums, churches and other historical sites. Time is running out. If we don’t secure critical data about our most important historical artifacts, our history will be gone. Forever.
The answer to this global crisis is History Hero – the first interactive video game to guide you through the world’s most important museums, churches, and historical sites. One simple download will transform a family sightseeing outing into a world-saving, alien-battling, history-learning adventure.
Developed in consultation with top U.S. educators, History Hero brings history to life in a way that guidebooks and audio tours cannot. There are History Hero missions designed for kids as young as 4-7 all the way up to teenagers and adults.
Raising Three Savvy Ladies has a $10 iTunes code and a $50 American Express Gift Card to give to one lucky reader.
