To ensure your scan is successful, follow the best practices outlined below:

Scanning Best Practices

  • Be sure your stencil has clean, crisp edges.
  • Hold the phone at a reasonable distance as prompted by the app.
  • Stencil & scan in a well-lit area.
  • Use a flat surface.
  • Hold your device steady.
  • Make sure the whole stenciled drawing is visible on screen.
  • Scan the stenciled drawing on a horizontal surface, not a vertical one.
  • App will only recognize the stencil icon. Do not add additional design elements to the stenciled drawing.

If the above still fails, try restarting the app or creating a new stencil drawing to scan.

To unlock a character, trace the character stencil onto the ground, then scan the stenciled chalk art. Follow the on-screen prompts to make the “Scan” button appear.

Once a character is unlocked, you can play with it anywhere, anytime and it will remain in your character bank forever!

To unlock additional characters, explore our full line up of Chalk Alive kits!

Head over to the Play section from the home screen of the app and swipe until you see your unlocked icons.

  • Follow the on-screen prompts to activate each character’s animations.
  • Move your phone and follow the sparkles to find your character in your environment.
  • Ensure the app is scanning the surrounding area.
  • Make sure you are placing the character at an appropriate distance, away from yourself, or take one step back to make space.

Characters can only be scaled on screen in Scan mode. In play mode, scale is determined by the distance which you place your character. Follow the on-screen prompts and adjust your distance to change the size of your character.
