Monster villains have been spotted in Woking Shopping and the centre is inviting young monster hunters to help track them down.

The creepy trail has been set up using ‘augmented reality’ monsters which families can bring to life on their smartphones.

The fun starts on 12th October through to Halloween and is helping to raise funds for Woking Shopping’s official charity of the year, Sebastian’s Action Trust.

The trail takes an average of about 45 minutes to complete and runs in an entirely secure, socially-distanced way. It works by using contactless QR codes, without the need to download or sign up to anything. Ten vinyl window monsters, all specially created for this project, have been placed around Woking Shopping for families to hunt down. When the QR code is scanned a monster will come to life in animation on their smartphone. After finding all ten ‘MonsterVillains’, families will be rewarded with a free eBook, telling the full story about the monsters.
