BunnyBolt is an interactive, maps-driven exercise game for youth. The app encourages physical activity by disguising in-app exercises with a youth-friendly storyline. Unlike games like Zombies, Run!, that lack a child-friendly fitness component, or games like FitQuestLite that cater too much towards children, BunnyBolt combines the fun of an interactive game with the practical concerns of workouts for an engaging app that is beneficial for all ages. Though our primary audience is youths who own smartphones, BunnyBolt's quick ten-minute workouts are appropriate for all ages. When developing this mobile application, our hope was to harness the elements of an engaging video game, and integrate it into an application that would encourage children to go outdoors and exercise.
