Caper provides families with original story-based ‘missions’ designed to be played together outdoors or at home, using smartphone facial capture to create fully animated, talking characters. The app aims to reduce passive screentime by encouraging real-world, active play and shared experiences between parents and children. During its beta, over 4,000 families downloaded Caper, and the app is currently available for free on iOS and Android. Caper launched an initial series of eight missions starring Captain Redtail and robot TikTik, with additional new series planned for release in the coming months. The company was developed within the Founders Factory startup studio in collaboration with LEGO Ventures and positions itself as a platform for creators to build interactive shared experiences. Pricing for additional content is planned as a one-off bundle purchase (the remaining seven episodes and extras priced at £4.99).
