How it works

01
Child initiates

Kid picks a nickname, age, and town. App pauses — nothing happens until a parent completes setup.

they ask, we wait —
02
Parent approves

Guardian verifies identity, creates the House, sets age-tier permissions, signs the Values Pledge.

the grown-ups sign off
03
Kid plays

Approved child joins their House, local feed, cooperative games, and parent-approved playdates.

then the real fun :)

Safe by design

Safety isn't a feature. It's the whole product.

Every conversation is monitored. Every connection is approved. Every child is pseudonymized. No child photos. No behavioral ads. No dark patterns.

AI

AI moderation

Monitors every child conversation, flags trouble, nudges before escalation, notifies parents immediately.

CO

COPPA compliant

Pseudonymized accounts, monogram avatars, no child photos. Parent-governed, transparent data.

PA

Parental governance

Guardians approve connections, playdates, permissions. Age tiers: Explorer 6–8, Builder 9–12, Pathfinder 13–15.

GR

Grounding, not punishment

Temporary lockouts for involved children only. Parental approval to lift. Repeated violations reduce Honorable Score.
