MythosScript

Short stories from four world traditions, where your child helps the characters by building small programs from picture blocks.

How it plays

What your child does

Read or listen to the story. Every word can be read aloud with highlighting.
Tap a block, then a + spot in the program, or drag it there.
Run plays the program. Step goes one block at a time and never counts as a try.
If a run does not work, the buddy says what went wrong, and after two tries offers to show the first step.

Animal fables from the Panchatantra.

Aesop’s fables.

Myths retold in Iceland’s Prose Edda.

Spider tales of the Akan peoples of Ghana.

For grown-ups

Chapter 1 teaches steps in order, chapter 2 adds repeating and “if”, chapter 3 adds numbers that change and fixing mistakes.
“About this story” names the source, when it was written down and what the retelling changes, including where it softens the original.
After a whole collection, Save my path keeps your child’s programs and choices in My Stuff.
The home screen shows MythosScript to children aged 8 to 10. You can turn it on for any child in the Parent Zone.
The game saves itself, so your child can stop at any time and pick up where they left off.

It comes with every other game on the island. Join the TestFlight beta, play for a week, and tell us what your child thought.
