XUXA, the family app, is in development. XUXA’s (pronounced “shoo sha”) first priority is to be a safe place for children of all ages to interact with their extended family members. Every XUXA activity is designed to point toward an in-person family conversation. In the next months we are adding a range of activities and games for the whole family to play alone or with each other. Soon you will find a multimedia trivia game, a curated library of lifestyle content specific to each family member, Bible devotionals, silly car games and more. You may even find some of your favorite characters featured here! XUXA is a free app for everyone. In the future there will be premium features available for a small monthly subscription. You can become a Founding Member now to be the first to get updates and to get a discount.
