What do we give our children to take with them? What do we teach them? What do they enjoy doing? These were probably the key questions that we thought about when developing Fin and Lou. We wanted to develop an app that gives children pleasure and tells them a little about the world but also encourages them to ask questions. We wanted to ensure that there was interaction between children and parents and that they could explore the individual cities and landscapes together. With Fin and Lou, we find that we have created a voyage of discovery, which encourages parents to tell stories and makes children into young world travellers.

Fin and Lou are off on a world tour. You can accompany the two of them on their trip and discover the cities and landscapes with them. Fly in a hot air balloon to the Kalahari Desert and observe the herds of elephants.
See the cherry blossoms in Japan and feed the kois with Lou. Find treasure in the South Seas and go skating in New York to the sound of Christmas music. Don’t forget to get a souvenir from each location to put on the shelf in your child’s room as a reminder. Did you change your mind? Then fly back again and get something else instead. Fin and Lou write about everything in their diary to make it easier for you to follow their adventure. Now all you have to do is take the trip.

Long journeys, funny ideas and a child’s imagination were the main ingredients in developing Fin and Lou’s story. Inspired by our own experiences, we wanted to give the world a look “from a child’s point of view”. But we also thought about colour, sound design and functionality and these were tested by several young users until Fin and Lou were finally ready to set off on their travels.
