How it works
No rules to read. Kids figure it out by trying.
Start with four
Every game begins with air, fire, water and earth.
Drag two together
Drop one thing on another to see if they make something new.
Grow your world
Each discovery opens new combinations, from mud and steam to rainbows and volcanoes.
What kids learn
It feels like play. Underneath, they are thinking like little scientists.
How things connect
Discoveries build on each other, so children see that the world is made of related parts.
New words
Every item has a name and a short description, in 26 languages. Great for bilingual families and language practice.
Patience and curiosity
Not every mix works. Trying again, and being curious about why, is part of the fun.
Play in 26 languages
The game picks your language automatically, and you can switch at any time, even mid-game. Practise Swedish, Spanish, Arabic or Ukrainian while you play.
