Remi has stolen the Captain’s keys. Can you and your class get them back before he runs away? Designed with Isaac Ekins, Matiu Mystery turns the typical East by West Ferry journey in and exciting adventure. Using a range of new technologies, Matiu Mystery will set a new standard for education outside the classroom. The project not only seeks to improve children’s education, but also to encourage kiwi kids to conserve and protect our precious native species. 




Turning education about our biodiversity into a an engaging game for kids. Remi the Rat has stolen the ferry captain’s keys to his house on the island... Embark on a scavenger hunt around Matiu Island to learn all about the residents and follow Remi’s tracks.

From 360° projection storytelling to an AR scavenger hunt around the island, kids are left with an adventure of a lifetime.
