Games forsmallhands

We build learning games for children aged 5 to 14. The learning lives inside the game, not next to it – no ads and no tracking, made in Bonn.

Our games

Malbuch start screen: “Who is painting today?”

We don’t build learning apps with a game bolted on – we build really good games where learning just happens: numbers, colours, shapes, animals and a steady hand.

How we build

A game for five-year-olds has to work without instructions: big buttons, symbols instead of text, everything read aloud. Mistakes cost nothing, curiosity gets rewarded.

why we exist

Too much. Too hard.Tooboring

We went looking for good games for children ourselves. What we found were apps that were overloaded, overwhelmed kids or bored them after two minutes – and often there was no educational idea behind them at all. So we build them ourselves.

~~Overloaded~~
Too many buttons, too much flashing, ads in between – the actual game gets lost.
With us: the game comes first
~~Overwhelming~~
Read first, be quick, then lose. If you’re five, you’re left out.
With us: read aloud, no penalty
~~Underwhelming~~
After two minutes you’ve seen it all. Nothing grows with the child.
With us: levels that grow along
~~No purpose~~
Bright and loud, but nobody asked what a child learns from it.
With us: learning inside the game

how kids learn here

From first stroketohigh scorepride

In the flow
Tasks never pause the game. A solved task unlocks a magnet, a shield or a speed boost for a moment – learning as a superpower.
Game stops 0
No penalty
Mistakes cost nothing. The end of a round is a moment of success, not a game-over sign. Praise instead of grades.
Game over never
With curiosity
Discovering something new is rewarded: meeting an animal for the first time tells you about it and fills the discovery book.
Loot boxes 0
No reading
Everything is read aloud, symbols and colours have a fixed meaning. Children who can’t read yet still play on their own.

Snakoria start screen – Snaky’s big adventure

Snaky grows in five stages into a king snake. Along the way Snaky collects numbers (“Collect the 5!”) and finds colours and shapes.
Every new animal tells a little about itself and joins the discovery book. The rules are in the picture, not in the text.

Malbuch: a T-Rex coloured in with a finger

Three levels grow with your child: from big areas with a line guide to fine tips where the pencil’s pressure and tilt count.
Painting by numbers and colour shades practise numbers and colours – and at the end there’s a picture to be proud of.

Where can I get the games?

On the App Store and Google Play. You can try a short demo of each game right here in your browser.

What does my child learn?

In Snakoria numbers, colours, shapes and animals – right in the game, with no pause and no penalty. In Malbuch a steady hand, colours, and numbers when painting by numbers.

Do you collect data about my child?

No. Snakoria only stores the record, stage and settings on the device, Malbuch keeps the pictures on the tablet. No account, no server, no tracking.

Does it cost anything?

Snakoria has no purchases. Malbuch is free to download with three free pictures per theme; more are available as a purchase behind the parent gate.

What age are the games for?

Malbuch for ages 5 to 8, Snakoria for 5 to 14 with a focus on 5 to 7. Parents set how strict the rules are in the parents’ area.
