Hide and Go Creek

Hornsby Shire Council

Hide and Go Creek turns environmental science communication into a playful quest for younger audiences. Created with Hornsby Shire Council, the project transforms local creek sites into interactive learning moments, where hidden QR codes unlock Craig the cheeky freshwater crayfish.

The Trail

EyeJack worked closely with Council's environment team to co-design the experience, content strategy and learning approach, while also leading the visual design, 3D character design and animation. The result helps children learn about creek ecosystems, biodiversity and environmental stewardship in an engaging, accessible way.
