App description

Hey Duggee: The Sandcastle Badge is an app based on the children’s television show ‘Hey Duggee’.  The player chooses one of the characters from the show and helps them build a sandcastle. The player is given oral instructions about how to swipe a finger across the screen to collect the sand and build the castle. Once the castle is built, the player can decorate it with windows, doors, sea creatures and flags. When the sandcastle is complete, the character receives a badge and the player can play again with a different character. Each of the five cartoon animal characters has their own bucket which makes a different shaped castle.

Reviewers comments

Hey Duggee: The Sandcastle Badge is a creative game for young children, where the player can build and decorate their own sandcastles.  It is quite a safe game for young children to explore the concepts of building and shapes.

Advertising and product placement

At the end of the game there is an advertisement for Hey Duggee: The Big Outdoor app and on the main page there is a section where the player can see more BBC kids games. However, to access both of these, the player must solve a maths equation (eg. 16 - ? = 7). Also, this app is connected to the ‘Hey Duggee’ television show and franchise.
