It’s not just a kids show – it’s a Spotisode!

That’s right! It is that time of the week again! It’s Friday, and the latest Lifeboat Luke spotisode is now available in the App Store. Each new spotisode features a complete five minute episode of the popular kids TV series Lifeboat Luke. Spotisodes are ideal for parents who are looking to keep young hands and minds busy during shopping trips or in long car journeys. So what are you waiting for? Go and grab yourself the lastest spotisode now!

This week’s episode is Woofaloofaboing! Click here to go to iTunes to see it!

Twitchers chasing the Chipperous Chuffinch, the buoyant Beaufort and her bungee balloon, a carrot collecting Coxswain, an unflappable American Indian aeronaut, a mustachioed mountaineer and a lovable, lifesaving lifeboat combine their skills to rescue Mrs Goofrey and her mischiefmutinous mutt!

Watch the episode or play along with the spotisode where you have to ‘spot’ various items that appear in the story. If you collect all of the items you will unlock an exclusive password which will give you access to a Lifeboat Luke colouring page online! And all this for £1.19. And as if that wasn’t enough, a percentage of proceeds from the sale sof the iApps will go towards the RNLI, the charity that helps saves lives at sea. So not only will you be having fun with Lifeboat Luke but it is all for a good cause!

Happy New Year to all of the Straandlooper Blog readers! I hope you had a good festive break and are ready for the year ahead. We had a good rest over Christmas but are now back to work and getting stuck into our latest Lifeboat Luke venture.

2010 is the centenary year of the RNLI Lifeboat in the real life town of Donaghadee on the County Down coast in Northern Ireland and since Lifeboat Luke is set in the mad, magical seaside town of Donaghadoo – Straandlooper are marking the centenary of the real Lifeboat with the release of a Lifeboat Luke game for the iPhone and iPod Touch, on iTunes every Friday throughout the entire year!

Each interactive game, or Spotisode, gives players the opportunity to not only watch an episode of the fun and exciting search and rescue adventure series for 4-7 year olds, but also interact with them. Players are tasked with ‘spotting’ a number of items that appear throughout the story. When the item appears on screen the player taps the screen to select the item. If the player spots all of the 20 items correctly they will unlock a password that will give them access to an exclusive Lifeboat Luke colouring page for that particular spotisode at the Lifeboat Luke spotisode page. Every Spotisode has its own unique password and colouring in page so you can start collecting your spotisodes every week and build your collection of all 52 episodes by the end of the year!

The games are designed to keep young minds busy and fingers nimble, the mobile format making them perfect for long journeys or keeping idle hands occupied during shopping trips. And with a percentage of the proceeds from the sales of the Spotisodes going towards helping the RNLI charity there is no better way to keep the kids entertained and help save lives at sea!

The first Lifeboat Luke spotisode – Rubberduckadoo – is currently available on iTunes, and the second episode – Electrachittyboomfizzle due to be launched on Friday 8th January 2010. So don’t just sit there like a drifting dinghy! Get those ogling gogglers and fidgeting fingers jiggling jogglingly! Get your Spotisode from iTunes every Friday throughout the year and help us make 2010 the year of Lifeboat Luke!
