This application is a digital companion for the Kids Chronicles board game. Kids Chronicles is a family, co-operative game of adventure and mystery investigation, mixing a board game and app. As magicians' apprentices, players dive into the fairy tale lands of the Kingdom of Summer and the Winter Empire. Accompanied by the faithful familiar, Nills The Moon Cat, they embark on a quest to find four magical Moon Stones. To achieve their goal, young magicians have to solve numerous mysteries and help inhabitants of both Kingdoms overcome their problems. Using the Scan&Play technology, each component — locations, characters, items, etc. — has a unique QR code, which depending on the scenario selected will activate and trigger different clues and stories. Experiencing the 3D scenes requires only a mobile phone or a tablet. Players simply hold their mobile device in front of their eyes to immerse themselves in the game's universe and search for clues in a virtual world. The game comes with one tutorial and five unique stories. Each game session lasts around 30 to 45 minutes. Once the app and a scenario are downloaded, the app doesn't require any internet connection during gameplay. The language can be selected within the app. The app saves your progress through the campaign, so you can stop and pick up again whenever you like.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Avel at none against Kids Chronicles's 1. Avel also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 32%). Kids Chronicles's advantage is rating (3.3 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kids Chronicles sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Avel asks for nothing beyond the download.
Kids Chronicles holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kids Chronicles has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Kids Chronicles's written reviews are positive against 60% of Avel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kids Chronicles ships an update every 3 months, Avel every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
