ABOUT US
We started life as a full service corporate wellness business offering on-site health checks, seminars and activity programs then transitioned to developing engaging online programs using Adobe Flash to deliver a rich graphic interface. Partnering with the largest health insurers in New Zealand and Australia who utilised the 'virtual adventure' to provide customised online challenges to their corporate clients, the program was used with great success by many of New Zealand's and Australia's largest companies.
We then developed a version of the program for school children for the NSW Ministry of Health, and worked with charitable organisations such as Cerebral Palsy Australia, Heart Kids NZ to raise funds for their incredible work in the community.
With the demise of Adobe Flash we had to overcome the challenges of transitioning to a new interface but our talented team of animators and coders after much trial and error successfully upgraded the program to HTML5 animations whilst retaining all the unique features that so engage users.
