🚗 Build your Activity Pack
Free, and takes about a minute. No card or password — just your email, so we can send you your pack's link.
- Go to arewethereyet.kids/builder.html
- Add your email and your kids' names and ages
- Optional: add your trip — pick where you're going and how you'll travel
- Tap "Create & Play!" — your personalised pack opens straight away
📱 Save it to your home screen
This is what makes it work offline and open full-screen like a real app — without this step it's just a browser tab that needs the internet every time.
- Tap the Share icon ↑ at the bottom
- Scroll down, tap "Add to Home Screen"
- Tap Add
- Tap the ⋮ menu, top right
- Tap "Add to Home screen" or "Install app"
- Tap Add / Install
- Click the install icon at the right of the address bar
- Click Install
- No icon showing? Use the ⋮ menu → "Install this site as an app"
You'll also see a reminder for this the first time you open your pack.
📱📱 Share with up to 5 family devices
Free on up to 5 devices, so the whole family can play (parents' phones, kids' tablets, a grandparent's spare tablet in the car).
On each extra device:
- Open arewethereyet.kids/builder.html and build a pack there too (the same or a different trip/kids — your choice)
- Tap "Create & Play!", then save it to that device's home screen (step 2 above)
Lock the tablet to just this app (optional, recommended)
Handing over a personal phone means calls, texts and other apps are one accidental tap away — most parents would rather not. If you're using a spare tablet instead, both iOS and Android have a free, built-in way to pin the screen so your child can't back out of the app at all, no calls or messages getting through, nothing else to tap into.
- Settings → Accessibility → Guided Access → turn it On (set a passcode here too)
- Open the Activity Pack, then triple-click the side/home button
- Tap Start (top right) — the tablet is now locked to this app only
- To let them out again: triple-click the side/home button and enter your passcode
- Settings → Security (or Security & privacy) → More security settings → App pinning — turn it On
- Open the Activity Pack, then tap the Overview/recent-apps button and tap the app's icon at the top → Pin
- To let them out again: hold Back and Overview together (or follow your device's on-screen hint)
Exact wording varies a little by phone/tablet manufacturer — search "Guided Access" or "screen pinning" plus your device model if these steps don't quite match what you see.
