To showcase the range of family apps available on Windows and Windows Phone, ahead of Christmas, we invited media and their families to attend a family day out at London Zoo.

The Saturday morning event kicked off with a meet and greet with a llama for the children and an overview of Windows, Windows Phone and the great apps available on both platforms, for the parents. The guests were also invited to have hands-on time with the latest Window’s smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 1020. Both children and parents played around on the new app, and many others including Biff, Chip & Kipper books and Kid’s Story Builder, on the new phones as well as a range of the latest Windows devices.

The fun did not stop there, the children got to meet and take photos with our special guest for the day, Daddy Pig, before departing with their Peppa Pig goodie bags; with some impressive top scores on Daddy Pig’s Puddle Jump!

So, what is this Daddy Pig Puddle Jump app?

The app allows you to play as Daddy Pig, Peppa or George or to compete against family and friends in this one touch, multi-levelled, jumping game for 1 or 2 players. The aim of the game is to get as muddy as possible but remember – if you jump in muddy puddles you must wear your boots! Daddy Pig is the reigning world record champion muddy puddle jumper but Peppa and George are keen to lift the trophy themselves.

“Peppa Pig has achieved enormous success in the mobile gaming market to date” says Rebecca Harevy at eOne “and we are thrilled to be bringing the brand to the Windows Phone platform for the first time with Daddy Pigs Puddle Jump, an interactive app that children can enjoy along with their own Daddy Pig for lots of simple muddy fun.”
