The Avengers is coming! The Avengers is coming! This should come as no surprise (seeing as my blog screams Super Hero) that we are so excited for the release of the movie, The Avengers. There’s hardly never a day that goes by without the kids playing with their superhero action figure toys. Baby boy is on an Iron Man kick at the moment and even wants him in the bathroom while we are potty training!
Last night we had a blast at our Marvel Avengers themed family fun night . In preparation for the occasion the boys and I headed to the store after downloading the Avengers Augmented Reality App that can be played exclusively at Wal-Mart stores. By using your iPhone/iPad you can find The Avengers App Trigger Points throughout the store and watch how the app interacts with the signage.
The Avengers Augmented App has questions that pop up at different signage (trigger points) and once completed it shows you what Super Hero you most resemble.
The app also interacts with the MarketSide pizza box offering 3D images and a scene from the movie. You have to check this out for yourself!
See the pizza box underneath the 3D image?
Once we had our fun with the app we picked up a few items for our Avengers Family Fun Night. Wal-Mart had some neat Avengers apparel in the boys section, so we picked out a shirt for each boy. We stopped by the toy section and found a Captain America mask that would go perfect with our son’s shield he already owned. As an extra treat I decided to make a Captain America shield cake so I stopped by the baking section for the ingredients. You can catch my entire path to purchase and interactive app experience here.
Once home, the kids dressed up in their super hero gear, while I baked the cake and pizza. Once my husband came home we had dinner, dessert and enjoyed a fun-filled game night with Marvel Memory game and more! We had such a blast, especially the kids!
Check out how cool the Captain America shield cake turned out!
The Avengers movie releases on Tuesday, September 25. Wal-Mart has an exclusive Blu-Ray/DVD/Novel combo pack which you can pre-order now for only $24.99.
How cool is this Collector’s item graphic novel!
