About Walkwyse
EduTechWyse Ltd is a not for profit company, set up by Lin & Peter Horne, which is responsible for the development and support of the Walkwyse outside activity Web App and its aim of raising funds for Alzheimer's Research.
The Walkwyse Web App is a great way to enjoy a virtual maze (called an aMazing trail) using your mobile phone, using GPS guidance and multimedia. The aMazing trails are located in public parks across the UK. Walking is a great way to get the exercise we all need as well as being extremely important for mental health & general wellbeing.
In 2019 Lin was diagnosed with the devastating desease of Alzheimer’s, but we were determined to keep doing our favourite activities as long as possible. The one thing she enjoys the most is walking, as does Peter, and it is great for health and wellbeing So creating an outside activity Web App for families, which anyone with a smart phone can access, seemed a great thing to do as a means of raising money for Alzheimer's Research.
LIn & Peter are also virtually "Rambling across Europe" as a means of raising money for ALzheimer's Research and will reach Rome at Xmas 2023 having taken 2 years to walk the 2,400km from Dartmouth to Rome. Follow them on their Facebook feed: here
More recently the product has been significantly enhanced to support complex trails such as the new aMazing trails, which are virtual mazes. A competitive element has been included where individuals can try to get the higheste score by completing the maze in the shortest time & distance whilst collecting virtual treasure. Great fun for all the family!
In addition to Alzheimer’s research EduTechWyse supports a large educational project at Devon Wildlife Trust. Lin & Peter are keen to support both education in the outdoors for the younger generation as well as help fund research to find cures for the devastating diseases of the brain.
Take one of our aMazing trails in a public park near to you and get to the top of the leader board by collecting as much treasure as possible in a quick time. You can take the maze as many times as you like and keep improving your score to become top of the leader board.
If there is not a maze in a suitable public park near you, please let us know and we will try and create one in time for you to take part in the competition.
aMazing trails are a new type of outdoor activity - a pirate themed virtual maze game - which you solve using the GPS and compass features on your mobile device. The virtual mazes are located in hundreds of public parks across the UK.
Sign up to participate and try an aMazing trail. The Web App is FREE, our only request is if you enjoy the maze, please make a donation to Alzheimer's Research.
The NEW 10km & 20km aMazing trail challenges consists of extremely long mazes for long distance walkers or joggers, these are the longest mazes in the World!
In the guiness book of records the current longest maze is Yancheng Dafeng Dream Maze (in China) which is 9km long.
We currently only have two of these challenge trails as it requires a very large, well maintained public park, to create a maze suitable for people with a range of abilities.
These aMazing trails are great for individuals or groups who wish to use them as their personal challenge to raise money for Alzheimer's Research.
Augmented reality(AR) pirates and treasure will be introduced in the next few month.
As an example of what is to come, have a go at creating your own pirate look & voice! with our simple to use filter-effects facility.
Try on Pirate hats and beards, lip sink with one of the pirate voices, have pirates dancing on a desert island in the background
The facility, which works best on a mobile device, can take a couple of minutes to load, dependant on your Internet speed.
