Questions parents ask

Do students need accounts or email addresses?

No. Students never sign up or type anything personal. The teacher is the grown-up: they open the builder, choose how each kid is credited (first name, initial, nickname or none) and publish the class's games.

What does a class need?

A computer, tablet or Chromebook per kid (or per pair) with a web browser. Nothing to install and nothing for IT to approve beyond visiting our site.

How long is the lesson?

About 45 minutes: imagine a game, build it in three steps, play, then share. It fits Hour of Code week, a club meeting or an indoor recess.

Is it really free for classrooms?

Yes, during our classroom pilot: the basic builder, the lesson plan, a class page and publishing your class's games. We'll tell you before anything changes.

Is it safe for young kids?

There are no ads, no chat, no accounts and no tracking. Kids build from our own library of kid-friendly pictures, and a real person on our team plays every game before it goes on the arcade.
