Reflexa is a listening game that gets kids up on their feet instead of glued to the screen. The rule is simple: if the sentence starts with "Reflexa says", do it — if it doesn't, don't move a muscle! Trick sentences exercise attention and impulse control: listen first, think, then move. HOW TO PLAY • "Reflexa says jump three times!" - jump! • "Touch your nose." - don't do it — it's a trick! • Press the blue button when you're done; green check if you got it right, red cross if not. • Earn a star for every correct task! WHAT'S INSIDE • 110+ movement tasks with real voice acting in 7 languages (jump, spin, find, pretend...) • Adorable animations and a toy-like design • 5 environments: home, office, park, playroom and car — tasks adapt to where you are • 3 difficulty levels (1, 2 or 3 stars) • 1–4 players: take turns or play all together • A voice-guided how-to-play tutorial • Playable offline after the first download DESIGNED FOR PRE-READERS There is no text on screen: a 3-year-old can open the app and start a game alone. All guidance is spoken and visual. SKILLS IT SUPPORTS Attention, focus, listening, impulse control, left–right awareness and body awareness. FOR PARENTS • No ads, no in-app purchases • No personal information is asked for or collected; scores stay on the device • External links sit behind a parental gate Tip: Reflexa is an audio-first game — turn the volume up!
