Manatavo Tempi

MANATAVO TEMPI is a digital story, available on iPad, for children aged 5 to 10. A virtual house is the background against which a fantastic world plays out. Collections of tales, videos, and sound and story bytes unfold as the user explores the app and plunges into this universe.

Download the app, and enjoy the experience as it unfolds, and well as 5 beautifully illustrated tales. New content will appear every day the child uses the app, up until the story comes to a close. Up to 4 players can use the full version and move along the story at their own pace.

The story advances every time a new Manatavo is found hiding around the house, each representing one of the 60 seconds on the clock out front. Once all Manatavo have been found, the story comes to a close and the clock is finally in working condition. Users can visit all unlocked sections as often as they like, throughout their app experience.
