The idea

What happens if I press this?

That is where the fun starts. A small action, a little surprise, and another reason to explore.

Every key, and every tap on a tablet, sets off its own reaction: a character, a shape, a colour, sometimes a sound. Nothing to win, nothing to lose.

A key press travels along a curved path and becomes a surprise A

Press the key (or focus it and press Space)

Choose the experience

Who's playing today?

Three age modes change how busy, fast and wordy the reactions are. You choose; they explore.

11 themes

A different world behind every key.

Each theme changes the colours, the characters and the words that pop up with each letter.

Opens setup with this theme chosen. You can still change it.

7 play modes

Same little keys. A new way to play.

Play modes change what each press does. Here is the gist of each one; the real thing is in the game.

    How it works

    From “hello” to happy tapping in four steps.

    1. Choose

      Pick an age mode and a theme, or skip straight to Quick Play.

    2. Start

      The page turns into a full play area. Hand over the keyboard or tablet.

    3. Press & tap

      Any key or tap makes something happen. There is no wrong answer.

    4. Explore

      Hold the ⚙ for three seconds to change things whenever you like.

    For parents and carers

    Their little adventure. Your settings.

    Settings sit behind a held button, so taps and key presses keep playing rather than changing things.

    Try the settings gear

    A demo only: nothing here changes your saved settings.

    Press and hold for 3 seconds

    ⏰ Time's up

    Play is paused. A grown-up holds the ⚙ to carry on.

    SoundOn or off, with quiet, normal and loud volume
    NightDimmer colours and slower movement
    TimerYou set the minutes. This demo uses 5 seconds
    • Held, not tapped

      Settings open when the gear is held for three seconds. A quick tap does nothing, so little hands carry on playing.

    • Keyboard protection, honestly

      While playing, Little Keys catches key presses so most browser shortcuts do not fire. Lock mode also goes full screen on computers and, in Chrome and Edge, can hold shortcuts such as closing the tab. Press Esc five times to unlock. No web page can block every system shortcut, such as switching apps or the Home button.

    • A timer you control

      Pick a play time. When it runs out, play pauses on a calm screen until a grown-up holds the gear. No countdown pressure, no streaks.

    • Nothing to sign up for

      No accounts and no ads. Settings stay on your device. A child's name, if you add one for the letter surprise, is not saved.

    A little less busy.

    Some moments call for calm. Gentle mode shows fewer animations, and Night mode dims the colours and slows things down.

    Ready, set, spell.

    Word Racer is for older children. Hear a word, then steer into its letters in the right order, dodging obstacles and sneaky spelling traps. Ten words and you cross the finish line.
