Mitten turns whatever your child is into right now — dinosaurs, space, baking, football — into a real game they can play, with the learning hidden inside the fun. HOW IT WORKS Tell Mitten what your child likes, what you'd like them to practise, and how old they are. Mitten builds a complete, playable game around it in about a minute. No two children get the same game. MANY KINDS OF GAME • Adventure — explore a world, meet its people, collect words as you go • Word Rush — a bright lane-runner where the right answer is the road you steer into • Mystery — a gentle detective case with clues to find, suspects to question and a puzzle to solve • Plus arcade-style worlds — fruit storms, sky labs, temple runs — where every move practises a word or a number BUILT FOR AGES 3-8 Every game is read aloud, so a child who cannot read yet can still play on their own. Big touch targets, no timers that punish, no losing streaks, no scary sounds. LEARNING THAT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE LEARNING There are no quizzes in Mitten. Children learn words by using them to do something — unlocking a gate, questioning a suspect, choosing a lane. Practise is woven into the story, and Mitten quietly notices which words a child finds hard and brings them back later. VOCABULARY OR MATHS, IN YOUR LANGUAGE Practise English vocabulary, a second language, or number work — times tables, adding up, counting. Mitten supports many languages, so a child can learn Spanish, Malayalam, French or Hindi words inside a game about the things they already love. FOR PARENTS • A parental gate guards settings, sign-in and anything you pay for • Your child never signs in and is never sent a notification • Add a profile for each child, with their own progress • See what each child has learned • Delete your family's data whenever you want, from inside the app SUBSCRIPTION Mitten is free to try: every ready-made game plays free, and you can generate your first language game free.
