Following the new series of the successful Studio 100 TV show Kosmoo, Telenet and Studio 100 TV got together to launch a new, innovative experience app. In 26 nature and recreational areas throughout Flanders, children can take part in an interactive Kosmoo adventure using the mobile KosmooPlay app. Not in front of the TV, but out and about in nature with the whole family. Once back home, the children can sit down and enjoy series two of Kosmoo, all episodes of which are available from 1 July on Telenet Play and Studio 100 TV.

Play everywhere, even outside After a particularly successful first series, series two of Kosmoo will be brought to life both on screen and in the form of an interactive experience app. Here, the story will only be revealed as the children progress along the walking routes. Telenet and Studio 100 TV want to use their partnership to encourage children and their parents to get outdoors during the summer months and to expand the Play experience and Kosmoo adventures beyond the television screen. Families can use the free KosmooPlay app to enjoy a scavenger hunt out and about in nature with Kosmoo and his friends. The game can be played at 26 locations throughout Flanders. It is the first time that a TV series has been translated into an exciting adventure in the real world. Benny Salaets, Director Content Distribution Studio 100: “This is really what we mean by ‘digital storytelling’. Children experience and influence a story, not from home, but out in nature with a small screen in their hand."

The exciting story unfolds as children progress along the route
Dozens of animals have disappeared without trace. The children need to help Kosmoo, Robbe and Ellis look for the stolen animals and complete assignments and play games to finally expose the animal thief.

The interactive story, or ‘episode’, only unfolds as the children and their families make their way along the two walking routes which have been marked out at the 26 locations. Everyone follows the route and gets further instructions or tips from Robbe and Ellis once assignments have been completed. This is the only way that children can find the animals and the culprit! They have the chance to experience the suspense of TV outside in nature.

Season two of Kosmoo available on Play and Studio 100 TV
After the great success of the first season, a brand new second season of Kosmoo was launched on 1 July on Studio 100 TV. Once again, Robbe and his female friend Ellis will be having many exciting adventures in Seaview, accompanied of course by Robbe's loyal fourlegged friend Kosmoo. From 1 July, all episodes in the new season will be available on Play, where fans can also find the entire first season.

Jeroen Bronselaer, Senior VP Residential Marketing Telenet is happy with the new series and the app: “At Telenet, we believe it’s important to create an extensive and high quality range of programmes for children, even on Play. Kosmoo quickly conquered children's hearts last year. Now that we are ready to launch series two, the range for children on Play will be even better. And with the KosmooPlay app, we can take the Play experience outdoors."

The KosmooPlay App is free and available for everyone to download via telenet.be/kosmooplay.
