Port Alfred Whereifly Adventure
Then move the file from the downloads folder into the folder of the wherigo app.
Then you can open the app and select "Start". It will then give you a selection of cartridges to choose from. If the cartridge you downloaded in not amungst the options then it is not in the correct folder. When you have selected the correct cartrdge from the "Start" selection then you may begin the story. The operating of the story should be self explanatory from there. However there are a few things to note and look out for.
When navigating I prefer to use the in app map to navigate from zone to zone. However the alternative is if you prefer you can use your in app compass to show you the direction and distance to the following zone.
At EVERY location it is essential to check your “You See” menu to collect items that are there. Check “You See' items to make sure you have completed everything before setting off for the next location.
You can also check your “Tasks” menu to see what needs to be done and check your progress along the way.
There should be no lag but depending on device there might be slight delays in things being triggered. There has been the occasional challenge where some smart phones are not triggering when entering the first zone. Restart the device and it has been noted that this has corrected the challenge.
If there are any challenges whatsoever then please contact us. If you are new to that also then select our caching user name on the cache and it should take you to our profile page where you will have an option to send both an in app message or an email.
Above all enjoy the environment and the adventure.
