Everything you need to know to get your kids' phones ready for a Bunny Trail egg hunt.

What is Bunny Trail?

Bunny Trail is a GPS-powered outdoor treasure hunt that runs in your phone's web browser — no app download needed. An organizer hides physical Easter eggs in a park, yard, or neighborhood, and places them on a satellite map. Players use their phone's GPS to navigate to each egg, find it in the real world, and enter a code printed on it.

It's like geocaching meets an Easter egg hunt, designed for kids and families.

What Your Child Needs

  • A smartphone or tablet with a web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox)
  • GPS/Location services turned on
  • Internet connection (WiFi or cellular data)
  • A trail code from the organizer (usually shared on a flyer, text, or QR code)

How to Play (Step by Step)

  1. Open bunny-trail.net in your child's phone browser
  2. Tap "Join a Trail"
  3. Enter your child's name, the trail code, and the join code
  4. Tap "Start Hunt"
  5. The browser will ask to use your location — tap Allow
  6. A satellite map appears with a marker showing the first egg's location
  7. Walk to the egg, find it in the real world, and type the code written on it
  8. Tap "Unlock Egg" — the next egg appears on the map
  9. Repeat until all eggs are found!

Enabling Location Services

Bunny Trail needs GPS access to show your child's position on the map. Here's how to enable it:

  1. Open Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services
  2. Make sure Location Services is ON
  3. Scroll down to Safari Websites → set to While Using
  4. If Safari still doesn't ask, go to Settings → Safari → Location and set to Ask

  1. Open Settings → Location → turn ON
  2. Open Chrome → tap the lock icon next to the URL → Site settings
  3. Set Location to Allow
  4. If blocked, go to Chrome → Settings → Site Settings → Location and remove the block for bunny-trail.net

Parental Control App Settings

If your child's phone has parental controls, you may need to allow bunny-trail.net. Here's how for the most common apps:

  1. On your child's iPhone: Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions
  2. Tap Content Restrictions → Web Content
  3. If set to Limit Adult Websites or Allowed Websites Only:
  4. Tap Add Website under "Always Allow"
  5. Enter https://bunny-trail.net

If location still doesn't work, check Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy → Location Services and make sure it's set to Allow Changes.

  1. Log in to the Qustodio parent dashboard (web or app)
  2. Select your child's profile → Web filtering
  3. Under Exceptions, add bunny-trail.net as Allowed

  1. Open the Bark parent app
  2. Go to Screen Time → Rules
  3. Under Websites, add bunny-trail.net to the Always Allow list

Bark monitors but doesn't typically block websites by default. If web filtering is enabled, the allow list will override it.

  1. Log in to the Net Nanny parent dashboard
  2. Select your child → Web Filter → Allow List
  3. Add bunny-trail.net

  1. Open My Kaspersky portal → select your child
  2. Go to Internet → Exclusions
  3. Add bunny-trail.net as an Allowed website

Troubleshooting

The map doesn't show my child's position

  • Check that Location Services is turned on in phone settings
  • Check that the browser has location permission (not just the phone)
  • Try closing and reopening the browser
  • If using a parental control app, check that it allows location access for the browser
  • Make sure you're outdoors — GPS doesn't work well indoors

The website is blocked

  • Add bunny-trail.net to your parental control app's allow list (see instructions above)
  • If using a school-managed device, ask the IT administrator to allow the domain
  • Try a different browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox)

"You're too far from this trail"

  • The organizer has set a geofence — you must be near the trail location to join
  • Make sure GPS is accurate (go outside, wait for a fix)
  • Contact the organizer if you believe you're in the right area

The egg code doesn't work

  • Check for uppercase/lowercase — codes are case-sensitive
  • Make sure you're reading the code from the correct egg (the one shown on your map)
  • If the code is damaged or unreadable, tap "Change Egg" to skip to a different one

My child's progress was lost

  • Progress is stored in the browser's local storage. Clearing browser data or using private/incognito mode will reset it
  • Using a different browser starts a new session
  • The organizer can check the leaderboard to confirm your child's progress
