Makego

Turn your phone into a toy vehicle

February 2012

It encourages fun, open ended collaborative play between parent and child. Combining creativity and imagination with the virtual world on screen.

Select your vehicle within Makego, then interact with the drivers and their world through animations and sound. This release has 3 vehicles to play with: a race car, ice-cream truck, and river boat. Combine it with building bricks and a special phone case for extra fun.

RACE CAR
– Motion activated engine noises & turbo boost selector
– Change the car’s paint colour
– Working speedometer and petrol gauge
– Refuel the petrol tank when you’ve raced it dry

ICE-CREAM TRUCK
– Serve the correct ice-creams to customers
– Collect the money and put it in the till
– Toggle the musical jingle to tell everyone you’ve arrived

RIVER BOAT
– Start and stop the engine for a leisurely trip along the waterways
– Feed bread to the hungry ducks along the way
– Sprung a leak?! Fix holes in the boat using a hammer from your toolbox

Makego was available on the App Store as an experiment until 2017 (read why I took it down).
