Less Screen, More Adventure: Why We Added Photo Memories to Super Funday
By Kevin Knight, Creator of Super Funday ·
When my kids made something they were proud of, they wanted to take a photo. That small request helped shape how I think about technology in Super Funday.
They wanted to remember what they’d made
The children had spent time creating something of their own. Before moving on, they wanted to capture it.
I understood that. When you’ve put your imagination into something, it’s nice to have a reminder. A creation might get tidied away, taken apart or turned into something else. A photo lets you keep that moment.
It made me think about our promise: Less screen. More adventure. What does that mean when the children want to use a screen to celebrate the adventure they’ve just had?
How do photo memories work in Super Funday?
Photos, moments and memories are already available in the standard version of Super Funday.
Children complete a physical mission, then can photograph what they made or did. The optional photo becomes a saved memory, with a frame matching the mission’s category theme. Children can revisit their saved moments in the app through their adventure journey.
The same mission can lead to very different results. Looking back gives each child a chance to celebrate the ideas they brought to it—and remember the fun they had along the way.
Parents stay in control
Photo memories are optional and can be managed through Parent Mode. Parents can switch the feature off and delete saved memories.
Super Funday stores saved memories in its private app storage on the family’s device. The app does not upload them to our servers or add them to the device’s shared photo library.
The current app configuration disables Android’s standard app backup. Device transfer tools and any copies made outside the app are governed by the device or service settings, so this is not a promise that every possible copy will always stay on one device.
The creation still comes first
My children don’t need another reason to spend more time looking at a screen. They need reasons to put it down, explore, create and enjoy the world around them.
But when they make something they’re proud of, I don’t see anything wrong with letting them capture that moment.
That’s what photo memories are for in Super Funday.
The phone gives them the idea. They create the adventure.
