What Parents Say
Got 40mins To Make Dinner
"I can't recommend these enough. For the past 2 weeks I've actually been able to get 40mins to cook dinner each day. It's tough entertaining my 2 little ones when I have house stuff to do and these games and activity pack are perfect for it."

My Kids (6 & 11) Love Them
"My son is 11 and he's decided everything is "babyish" for him. Hasn't said a word about these and my daughter who is 6 plays the games with him. It's great as they get on while I sort out schedules, cleaning, dinner, and so on."

You Get So Much For £24
"I would get games free from blogs online, but they were never that great. And took ages to find. These ones my daughters actually keep wanting to come back to and play again. Super worth it."

Your Questions Answered
What age are the games suitable for?
Ages 5 to 12.
35 of the 55 work across the whole range - those are marked.
The rest are marked as 5–8 or 9–12, so you know before you start rather than halfway through.
What's the difference between the two packs?
The 55 Game Pack is the games. Every one needs at least two people.
The Games + Activity Pack adds 214 extras, including 49 activities a child can do on their own - puzzles, code-breaking, mazes, colouring.
That's the part that works when there's nobody to play with.
How do I get the games after buying?
How do I get the games after buying?
Do I need to buy any extra stuff?
Nope.
25 games need nothing at all.
The rest use cards, dice, coins, or a pen and paper - the sort of thing already in the house.
Do I need to print anything?
Not for the games as they're made to read off a phone.
The activity pages in the larger pack are designed to print, but you can do the whole lot in one go and have a stack ready.
Some can also be done by reading off the phone and noting things down on paper.
Can I use it more than once?
100%! You can replay the games endlessly, mix them up, or add your own twists.
Once downloaded, the PDFs are yours forever.
Can I access the games without WiFi?
Yes.
Once downloaded, the games are stored on your device and work completely offline.
Perfect for travel, road trips, flights, and anywhere with dodgy signal.
Is this an app?
No - and that’s on purpose.
Everything is delivered as simple PDFs. Open them on your phone, tablet, or laptop whenever you want.
No app store, no updates, no logins. Just open the PDF and play.
How many players do we need for each game?
Most need just two (work with more too).
27 of the 55 work with two people, so one child and you is enough.
Ten need six or more - those are the party games, and they're marked as such.
55 games. Ready when you need them.
Stop being the one who always has to think of something to do.
