New from Buildable Kids

Every kid deserves a parent with superpowers.

You just got one. Build the game they keep asking for, together, in an afternoon. No coding, no experience, no ads. Ever.

Works on the phone or tablet you already have. Every kid in the house is included.

Ollie's Tower SmashA GAME BY OLLIE AND DAD

"Riley wanted a game where she could fly around, collect coins, and turn into a bird. So we sat down after school and built it. Now her friends ask for their own."

Mike, Riley's dad. Founder of Buildable Kids.

Real games. Real kids asked for them.

Tap one and play it right now. Every one started as a sentence from a kid.

Sling Squad: a cartoon raccoon stretched back in a giant slingshot, ready to launch at wobbly towers
He asked for

"A slingshot, but with a raccoon"

Sling Squad. The slingshot-and-wobbly-tower game they already beg for. No ads, no coins, no waiting.

How it works

1

They say it

"A dragon who delivers pizza to the moon." Type it or let them say it out loud. Wilder is better.

2

You build it together

Pick the hero, the world, the music. Draw the levels with a finger. It's a real game in about twenty minutes.

3

Everyone plays it

Their name on the title screen. One link for grandma, cousins, and the whole class. Change it any time, it's never finished.

Why I started making my kids' games

The games my kids loved kept getting interrupted. Ads. Coins. "Watch a video to keep playing." Strangers in a chat. So I built games with none of that. Now you can too.

Every game you build with Cobuild is clean. Your kid never sees a price, a timer, or a stranger.

  • ✕No ads, ever
  • ✕No coins, gems, or in-game purchases
  • ✕No "watch a video to continue"
  • ✕No chat rooms or strangers
  • ✕No creepy tracking or selling their data
  • ✕No nagging them to come back
Optional. Off until you turn it on.

Games on your terms.

Feel a little less bad about screen time. Every game you build can carry a few grown-up rules that kids barely notice.

Math Cannon: a cannon that fires only when kids solve a multiplication problem correctly

Vegetables before dessert

Sneak in math, spelling, or typing. The cannon only fires when they solve 7 x 8. The dragon needs a word spelled right before it flies. We built Number Cannon and Minute Math this way, and our kids ask to play them.

Play unlocks afterHomeworkFeed the dogReading 20 min

Chores first, then the game

Set a short list. The game opens when it's checked off. No arguing with you, only the game, and the game doesn't budge.

Today's play time30 min

You set the clock

Pick how long. When time is up the game wraps the level and says goodnight, without a countdown nagging them to come back tomorrow.

Learning, disguised as play.

We already built the school stuff as games. Play them on their own, or fold a little of it into any game you build together.

Sight words game: large colorful words on screen, read aloud so kids hear and tap the right one
Spelling & reading

Sight words, said out loud

Hear the word, tap the word. The same lists school sends home, without the flashcard fight.

Try it
Typing game: a castle defense game where the correct finger glows and typing the key zaps the baddies
Typing

Defend the castle, one key at a time

The right finger glows, the baddie gets zapped. Real touch typing, and they think it is a game.

Try it
Minute Math: a timed multiplication facts sheet on screen with a big friendly number keypad
Math

One minute, one sheet

Minute Math. The same timed facts sheet school sends home, on a screen, with a big friendly keypad. Scores save so they can beat yesterday.

And when they ask "why?"

Kidspedia. Labs they can play with, picture books read out loud, real lessons. Say the topic and it gets made: real photos, a human check, on the shelf the same day. No ads here either.

Journey to the DeepSwim from the sunlight down to the trench. Tap anything to meet it. It gets dark, so you bring a flashlight.

Play them together.

Solo against the computer, two players on one screen, or online with the people you already know. Grandma taps a link and plays. Nobody else can find your kid.

Questions parents ask

Do I need to know anything about coding or games?

No. If you can text, you can build. You make choices, we make the game.

What ages does this work for?

Kids 4 to 12 love building. Little ones point and pick, older kids take over the controls.

Can grandma play without signing up?

Yes. The link opens in any phone browser. No app, no account.

Is what my kid makes safe?

Games only go where you send them. No public profile, no chat, no messages from anyone.

What happens when this month's building runs out?

Every game you made still plays. Building picks up again when your month refills, or add more any time, from $10.

Superpowers, activated.

Their idea. Your afternoon. A game with their name on it.
