A growing library kids want to open. Learning games pay Kudo Coins; arcade games cost them — so the time they're already spending steers toward focus and curiosity, and you decide which games are even on.
Anika is 9 and has been using KudoKids for about two months. She’s mastered most of her daily tasks, so her routine earns roughly 45 coins/day at the 0.5x mastered rate. She wants the Laser Show aura (legendary, 1200 coins). At her current rate, that’s about 27 days of saving.
She discovers the educational games earn bonus coins — 3 to 5 per session. She tries Code Blocks because it sounds cool. She drags blocks to make Cosmo walk through a maze. She earns 4 coins for her first session.
Over the next three weeks, she plays Code Blocks almost every day. Sometimes Math Arena too. The extra 5-8 coins daily cuts her save time from 27 days to about 22.
At dinner, she tells her parents about “loops” and “if-then statements.” Her dad — a software engineer — almost drops his fork. She says, “It’s like telling Cosmo: if there’s a wall, turn left. Otherwise, keep going.” She’s nine. She just described conditional logic.
Day 23: she has 1,210 coins. She buys the Laser Show aura. Her parents check the game analytics — 38 Code Blocks sessions and 12 Math Arena sessions that month. They didn’t assign these. The economy incentivized learning, and the games made it fun.
Learning and rewards work together to create screen time you do not have to feel guilty about.
Educational games (math, reading, science, coding, geography) are free to play and earn Kudo Coins based on score. Arcade games (Whack-a-Mole, Flappy Companion, Connect Four) cost Kudo Coins to play. The economy quietly steers kids toward the learning library.
Preschooler (2-4), child (5-8), and preteen (9-12) game tiers each adjust difficulty, hint availability, and session length. A four-year-old traces shapes. A ten-year-old solves logic grids. Kids only see games inside their age band.
Enable or disable any individual game. Cap daily educational-game minutes (5-120) or Coins earned (5-100). Set arcade games to a flat cost or to Coins-per-minute. None of this requires asking us — every toggle lives in your Game Management settings.
Math, language arts, science, coding, memory, geography, music, and creative skills. These map to classroom learning, not just entertainment.
Six games — Bubble Pop, Math Quest, Memory Match, Spot Difference, Companion Runner, and Counting Tap — run head-to-head with siblings or friends in real time. Quick-chat pills only, no free typing.
Every educational game is free to play. Kids earn 1-5 Coins per round based on score — perfect runs pay the maximum, lower scores pay proportionally less.

Kudo Coins are earned by completing routines and tasks — not by playing games. Games are in-app rewards your child unlocks with those coins. Educational games are designed to be accessible at lower coin costs, so kids who do their routines consistently always have something to play. Fun games cost more, giving the educational library a built-in advantage.
Every control lives in your Family Settings. Disable the whole game library with one toggle, or turn off games one at a time. Switch arcade games from flat per-play pricing to Coins-per-minute. Cap educational games to a daily Coin ceiling (5-100) or a daily minute cap (5-120). Each child can have their own setup.
Every game adapts to your child's chosen theme. Math Quest in Space Explorer features cosmic word problems. Science Sort in Jungle Safari categorizes rainforest animals. The learning content is the same. The experience matches the theme they picked.
Educational and fun games — all unlocked with Kudo Coins your child earns from completing their routines.
No credit card required. Set up in five minutes.
