Mission:Explore

Mission:Explore London is a unique way for kids, families, tourists and locals to explore London. There are missions for specific locations, and others that can be done anywhere in the world. The app will help you discover the hidden geographies that surround you. But be warned, after using it you'll never see the world in the same way again.

What it is
We've packed this app with hundreds of micro-adventures, challenges and activities for you to complete. Use your head, legs, arms and imagination to complete as many missions as you can. That way you'll have lots of experiences that may otherwise pass you by. Whether you're rating rules in a secret garden, counting animals on an urban safari or looking for lost treasure (Links to missions on website), Mission:Explore will help you see and do things differently.

How it works
Use our handy map to find your location and discover missions near you. Once done, mark your mission as completed and share your rating with the explorer community. Alternatively, browse for an Anywhere mission and show where you completed it.

Who created it
All Mission:Explore challenges are dreamed up and developed by experienced explorers from The Geography Collective. We spend time carefully planning each mission to give you a new experience with each challenge you attempt. We also check every single mission to make sure it's reasonably safe, and offer advice to help you avoid getting stuck down a hole, insulted by a pigeon or eaten by an angry cat.

Based on the book Mission:Explore by The Geography Collective and published by Can of Worms, this app is your guide to exploring and seeing London in new ways.
