Designed for children. Reassuring for parents.

Behind a parent gate you set up a profile with a nickname and age group, and choose the language of the app. The age group helps pick a good first activity; every world stays open to explore.

Curious Trails is designed so that children can find their own way around, but it is just as much fun to play together. Many activities invite you to listen, count or talk about a picture side by side.
