Happy Hikes
A gentle outdoor companion app that transforms every family walk into an adventure.
The Challenge
For many parents, the idea of a simple family walk sounds enjoyable and refreshing. But for young kids, hiking or walking has never held much appeal. Without a clear purpose, it quickly feels dull compared to real play.
At the same time, children are spending more time than ever in front of screens. While they do enjoy being outdoors, they are drawn to activities that feel playful, interactive, and rewarding. Traditional walking lacks these elements, leaving parents with a persistent challenge: how to make outdoor time exciting enough for kids to want to participate.
The Solution
Happy Hikes takes the “but walking is boring” problem and flips it on its head. By adding playful challenges, adorable animal friends, and shiny badges to collect, the app gives kids a reason to get excited about every step. What used to feel like “just walking” now feels like a mini-adventure they can’t wait to be part of.
For parents, it means less resistance and more togetherness. Family walks become easy, joyful moments of connection away from screens. For kids, it means real play outdoors, where moving, exploring, and discovering feel every bit as rewarding as their favorite games.
