What's inside

A small world with lots to poke at.

Everything a kid can do is something they can see. There's no reading required to play.

Dig and build

Knock out a block, carry it, and put it back somewhere better. Hills, houses, towers, holes to the bottom.

Each world is saved on the iPad, with a picture of it on the Home screen.

Toys that do things

Tap a lamp to switch it on. Tap a rainbow music block for a note, or build a row and walk a tune. Doors open, slides go whee.

3 wood makes a door. 2 wood and a stick make two slides.

Critters to look after

Pick a puppy, kitty, bunny or chick. Pet it and feed it apples and little hearts pop out.

About 1 in 6 leaf blocks drops an apple.

Ride a unicorn

Yes, really. Pick a unicorn as your pet, choose its mane colour (rainbow is one), then climb on and gallop.

Tap the saddle button to hop on.

Make things

The bag shows what you have and what you can make, as pictures. A table and a furnace make the bigger things.

If something can't be made yet, it shows what's missing.

Stickers and little goals

A sticker book fills up as kids try new things, and small goals give them an idea for what to do next.

Five pages of stickers to find.

Made for kids who can't read yet

Pictures first. Words out loud.

  • Every menu is pictures.The bag, the hand row, the sticker book and the settings a kid can reach.

  • A voice reads names aloud.Pick something up and the game says what it is. Friends' names too.

  • Big, simple touch controls.Walk, jump and look around with buttons sized for small thumbs.

  • English and Spanish.Switch the whole game, voice included.

Play together

Friends on the next iPad, not the internet.

  • Nearby only.iPads find each other over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in the same room. There's no online play and no strangers.

  • No codes to type.One kid starts a game for friends, the other taps "Looking for a friend!"

  • The host decides.The kid hosting can send someone home. After that, the game asks before anyone new joins.

  • Friendly names.Each player picks a two-word name from a list, so nobody types their real name.
