About
Kids to Engineers. Tumbly is four STEM games that show kids 3 to 12 how the world works: road trip stories with a back-seat quiz, step-by-step builds from the bricks you own, read-aloud books about real inventors, and a first phone that sends them outside to find bugs, birds and plants.
LEARN HOW THE WORLD WORKS ON YOUR DRIVE
Pass the Golden Gate Bridge and hear how it was built. Drive by a fort, a redwood or an old railroad, and Tumbly tells its story, read aloud as the words light up. Stories start on their own as you drive, so nobody taps while the car moves.
Then a quick question checks who was listening: the Golden Gate Bridge isn't really gold, so what color is it? It's a road trip game for the whole back seat.
CUSTOM BUILDS FOR WHAT YOUR KID LOVES
Your kid says "castle!" Snap a photo of your bricks and Tumbly makes step-by-step building instructions that use only those bricks, with fun facts along the way. Or pick one of 80+ ready-made builds: a fire truck, a pirate ship, a T. rex, a space shuttle. Works with LEGO®, DUPLO® and wooden blocks.
MEET THE INVENTORS WHO BUILT OUR WORLD
The Wright brothers, Ben Franklin, Margaret Hamilton. True picture books about inventors and engineers, read aloud as the words light up, at three reading levels: Read to me, Read together and I'll read. Each book ends with a quiz and a hero card.
A FIRST PHONE THAT SENDS KIDS OUTSIDE
Point the camera at a bug, bird or plant, find out what it is and add it to the collection. Finish quests. Send picture messages and walkie-talkie voice clips to family. Family only: no browser, no strangers.
MADE FOR EACH KID'S AGE
Each kid's age sets the length of a story, the reading level of a book and the size of a build.
GOOD FOR
• Road trips, long car rides and the drive to school
• A rainy afternoon with the brick bin
• Reading time, with a book read to them or read together
• A walk around the block or a day at the park
• Homeschool science and history
IN THE CAR
Drive and Read play on CarPlay: see the story playing, what's up next, and books for the whole car. They also play on a Tesla's big screen and follow the car. A tablet in the back seat can follow along.
FOR GROWN-UPS
• Settings and links out sit behind a grown-up check.
• AI features run only after a grown-up agrees, and each one can be switched off.
• Stories and books are fact-checked.
• Free, with no ads.
Tumbly works on iPhone and iPad, and in the car with CarPlay.
