Make your own video game
One studio, four helpers your kid directs. No coding.
1. Make the plan
The Planner asks: what kind of game, who's the hero, what do you avoid, what do you collect? Each answer fills a line on My plan. With a grown-up, type a whole idea and the Planner writes the card.
2. Pick or draw the pictures
The Designer fills the hero, the world and up to three things to avoid and three to collect: from our picture box of 170+, or drawn by our kid-safe AI once a grown-up sets up the device.
3. Build, play, change
The Builder makes the game from the plan. Change any line of My plan, or ask for a change ("add a boss"), and a new version appears. Undo brings any version back. AI-written games run in a locked-down sandbox.
4. Test and share
The Tester plays each version and gives one-tap tips. When it works, send it to family with a private link, or a grown-up sends it to the arcade, where a person reviews it first.
Young kids tap pictures with no AI (Automation only). The AI helpers (AI-assisted) are free once a grown-up sets up your kid's device with an email. After the first two AI drawings or games each day there's a short wait; the Arcade Pass skips it.

Questions parents ask
Does my kid need to know how to code?
No. Your kid designs the game: the plan, the characters and the world. The Builder makes it, and the Tester plays it and suggests fixes.
What can a young kid do without typing?
Everything: tap the kind of game, the hero, what to avoid and what to collect from 170+ ready-made pictures, then Build. Kids as young as 3 make a game on their own.
What changes when a grown-up sets up the device?
The helpers can use AI: the Planner reads a typed idea, the Designer draws what your kid describes, and the Builder writes the game itself and changes it when asked. A grown-up types; your kid imagines.
How does a game get onto the arcade?
Send it to family any time with a free private link. To put it on the arcade, a grown-up sends it in and chooses how your kid is credited. Publishing a game is $4.99, and the Arcade Pass includes 3 a month. A person plays every game before it goes live. If we can't publish it, we refund you.
