The lands

Seven lands, youngest to oldest

Pick an explorer, type a name and an age, and the map opens on the right land. Every land stays open, so your child can wander ahead or go back to old favourites. Tap a land for its full guide.

Highlights

Made for little hands — and growing brains

A narrator reads everything

Every instruction is spoken aloud with a caption, by the device’s own offline voice. Children who can’t read yet can play every game.

A helping hand

The first three times a game is played, an animated hand shows exactly what to do. After that it comes back whenever your child gets stuck.

No buzzers, no lives

A wrong answer gets a gentle wobble and “Try again!”. There are no lives to lose and no countdowns to beat.

Over 430 levels

Two wins at a level unlock the next, and the level map lets your child go back and replay any level they’ve reached.

Stars and 50 stickers

Every round earns up to three stars, and every three stars unlock a new sticker for the sticker book.

A daily surprise

Once a day a surprise egg appears on the map. Tap it to hatch an animal, hear a fun fact and earn a bonus star.

Plays offline

No internet needed to play. (On Android the occasional ad needs a connection; the games never do.)

Every land stays open

The age only picks where the map opens. Brothers and sisters of different ages can play side by side.

Questions

What ages is Little Explorers for?

Children from 2 to 12 — it is made only for under-13s. Tiny Tots is for ages 2–3; Create Land, Letter Land, Number Land and Discovery Bay for 3–7; Brain Academy for 6–10; and Genius Lab for 10–12. Every land is open to everyone.

Does my child need an account, or the internet?

No account, no sign-in and no email address — ever. Every game works offline. The only things that use the internet are the app stores (for a purchase or restore) and, on Android, the occasional ad.

Is it free?

Android: yes — every game is open, with an occasional child-safe ad when your child leaves a game. A one-time “Remove ads” purchase ($4.99) switches them off for good.

iPhone and iPad: there are no ads. The first two games in every land are free, and a one-time “Unlock all games” purchase ($4.99) opens every game. There are no subscriptions on either platform.

What are the ads like on Android?

Ads only ever appear at a natural break — when your child leaves a game for the map — never during play, never as a reward, not before your child has played a while, and at most once every four minutes. They come from Google AdMob, a Families-certified ad network, with every request marked as child-directed and limited to G-rated content. Ads are non-personalised and the app does not use the advertising ID.

My child can’t read yet. Will they manage?

Yes. The narrator speaks every instruction (the speaker button repeats it), the youngest lands need no reading at all, and the helping hand demonstrates each new game. Grown-ups can switch the talking voice off in the grown-ups area if they prefer.

Can brothers and sisters share it?

Yes. Every land is open, so a toddler can play Tiny Tots while an older sibling plays Genius Lab. The app keeps one set of progress per device — stars and the sticker book are shared — and each game remembers its own level.

Can I limit how long my child plays?

Yes. In the grown-ups area set a daily play time of 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. When it runs out a calm “Time for a break!” screen appears, and only a grown-up can get past it.

What language is it in?

English. The narrator uses the device’s built-in English (US) text-to-speech voice.

These are the questions we’re asked most. The full FAQ answers many more — every land, levels and stickers, time limits, purchases and voice troubleshooting — and the guide walks through a first session.
