About KidPlay
We create engaging, educational games that inspire children's creativity and learning through play.
Our Story
The Beginning
KidPlay began as a passion project between three childhood friends – Elena, Marcus, and David – who shared a vision of creating games that were both entertaining and educational. After witnessing their own children struggle to find games that balanced fun with learning, they decided to combine their backgrounds in education, child psychology, and game development to create something new.
First Success
Our first game, "Math Heroes," launched to unexpected success, reaching over 100,000 downloads in just three months. Parents and educators praised our approach to making mathematics engaging through gameplay. This early success allowed us to expand our team and vision.
Growing Together
We expanded our game catalog to include literacy, science, and creative play titles. Our team grew to 15 dedicated professionals united by our mission to transform children's screen time into valuable learning experiences. We also launched our educational resources for parents and teachers.
Today
KidPlay now reaches over 2 million children across 45 countries, with a team of 30 talented individuals dedicated to creating magical gaming experiences that help children learn and grow. We continue to innovate at the intersection of education and entertainment.
