Turn reading time into play time! Read 2 Play is the fun, simple way for kids to earn screen time by reading books. Tap "Read" to start earning. Tap "Play" to spend it. Parents set the conversion rate, so 1 minute of reading can equal 1, 2, or 3 minutes of gaming. Here's where it gets exciting: as kids read, they unlock collectible creature cards. 198 unique creatures across 6 elements, 6 rarities and 3 battle roles, each with its own artwork, special powers and battle stats. Kids at the same level unlock different creatures, so every collection is their own. It's like building a real trading card collection, powered by reading. Once a day, kids can battle a sibling, or the Wild Ones if they read solo. Every battle is three quick rounds of choices: pick a creature, then Strike, Guard or unleash a Special. Younger kids get Underdog Spirit when they fall behind, so battles stay close and fair. Finishing a book earns an exclusive Book Rare card after a quick Brain Boost math challenge matched to your child's age. A daily goal ring shows how close each kid is to today's reading goal, and after a long read every reward shows on one screen. Reading streaks unlock streak-only creatures, and an optional, anonymous leaderboard shows how their reading stacks up. For parents, Read 2 Play is simple and secure. You set the rules: choose how much reading each kid needs for play time, in plain words like "15 min reading = 10 min play", all protected by your parent PIN. See this week's reading at a glance with minutes per day, streaks, books finished and a reading heat map. Add multiple children to one household, adjust time banks, or delete all data anytime. You're always in control. Read 2 Play is private by design. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Everything stays on your device and your personal iCloud account. The only exception is the optional leaderboard: off by default, turned on by a parent, and it shares just a nickname, city and reading score. All data syncs automatically across your family's Apple devices via iCloud. Start a reading session on the iPad, check the balance on your iPhone. The free version includes 1 kid, starter creatures, and full reading and gaming timers. Upgrade to Read 2 Play+ once for lifetime access to unlimited kids, all 198 creatures, battles, holographic card effects, Focus Mode sounds and family statistics. No subscriptions, just one purchase, forever. Terms of Use: https://sourcefrenchy.github.io/read2play-site/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://sourcefrenchy.github.io/read2play-site/privacy.html
