I think she would really love the “treasure hunt” aspect of following the clues to the letter boxes. And one of her all time loves is little notebooks, so having a special one to stamp in when we find a letter box….yeah, we totally need to do this.

If you have a chance to try it without him first, you might do that. Once you know that the cache is there (sometimes you just can’t find them/they’ve been moved), you can do it with him and let him see the phone screen to learn what it means to get closer and farther. There may be some within your normal route. Download the app to check. At about four years old, my daughter definitely got it and understood that someone else hid the stuff and we might not find it.

What do you think is the minimum age for this kind of activity? I have a three and a half year old boy who I could see loving this, but he may be too young.

It especially motivates my 6 yo when he is in a funk!!
