About WheeGO

WheeGO promotes Peace on Earth through geographical awareness, and tolerance of people different from ourselves. It was developed by the parents of two young children in Chicago as an educational and exciting alternative to the games and entertainment available today (it’s old school). Every WheeGO adventure draws out the fun of exploration and thrill of success and is designed to develop sequential thinking skills, build confidence and demonstrate the value of self initiation.

WheeGO’s first adventure is played in the home and features Jilly the Jouster and Cody the Country Singer. Cody wants everyone to be creative and have compassion for each other and the planet. Jilly lives in a medieval city and loves fair play. WheeGO encourages kindness and environmental responsibility in each and every adventure.

The corporation is titled Peace and Love, because that's our real game.

 

WheeGO Enthusiasts

What kid doesn't like hide and seek or treasure hunts? This is a family favorite game in our household! The world needs more activities that will take kids off the couch and get them moving physically and thinking creatively. This "old school" style of playing is really very new school in my opinion! -Gregoire Johnson, Owner of Bubbles Academy - a children's early enrichment program in Chicago

 

"If you have kids like mine who love hide and seek and treasure hunting, you have to get WheeGo for them. It is hide and go seek to the extreme…I love that this opens up their creativity, and you can easily make up more cards to keep the game going for older kids. Each quest is designed to help your child develop sequential thinking skills, build confidence, and reveal the value of self initiation. This game is an awesome stocking stuffer, and you will be amazed at how much fun you can have playing this with your children!" -Lisa Reviews http://www.lisareviews.com

 

"Want to try a new game your kids will love? …Now you can be that cool parent with WheeGO, a new treasure hunt adventure game. It sounds easy and it is…. I didn't realize my kids loved treasure hunts so much… We played the first round of the game one day and I was surprised by how excited the kids were. They kept talking about the clues, trying to figure out where the next one was. I wanted to save the next round for another time and it took a long time to convince the kids we'd play again soon but not now (or in five minutes). My kids later convinced the babysitter to play without me. I had hid the treasure box in the back of a cabinet and they wanted to play so badly they managed to find it (my kids can't find their shoes if they are two inches away from where we leave them)." -High Maintenance Mom http://www.highmaintenancemom.com

 

"…the game tests little explorers' ability to follow directions as they follow clues. Stocked with two games, the chest allows them to take turns as Jilly the Jouster or her buddy Cody the Country Singer, running from place to place to find the hidden treasure. After they get a handle on how to follow the clues, repeated play boost their "remembering" and WheeGo becomes a "I can do it myself game" that keeps the family from going stir crazy as winter sets in. -Inside Out, Mom Reviews Plus Attitude http://jeannesager.blogspot.com

 

"Tired of the same old games, well WheeGO has introduced a game with a new take on the game hide-n-seek. WheeGo is the first of its kind clue adventure and enables children to see their home in a completely new way...The home version has the added benefit of refocusing attention on learning away from the television." -The Cleveland Leader http://clevelandleader.com

 

"I loved the game because it’s really fun and I found all the cards really fast, and I liked that so much. I want to play it again and again, for like the next 100 years, because I really enjoyed it."- A 5-year old California resident had this to say after playing WheeGO

 

"It was wonderful to see my five-year-old’s power of deduction and be able to include my three year old in the same game. I was also surprised at how much fun my wife and I had with our part. It was great to discover a new sense of community in my own family." - Aaron Lucich, a father of two
