When a child manipulates objects, they develop hand-eye coordination, concentration and perseverance skills while learning about cause and effect and how to creatively analyse and solve problems. The Tokidos 5’s snapping mechanism and digital content also add a significantly richer experience to manipulation compared to traditional objects.

When playing with the Tokidos 5, children and families engage in rich storytelling, challenging games and collaborative or solo play. Unlike a phone or tablet screen that is conceived to be used by a single person, the Tokidos 5 and their games are designed to be played alone AND collaboratively.

Instructions, guidance and tips are built into the games directly so won’t need an extra instructions guide. This means that in a maths game, if your child is doing 6 minus 8 to get to 2, they will automatically be informed that the biggest number needs to be in front of the equation. Isn’t it great when you can learn and improve immediately?

We’ve yet to test with children who didn’t ask their parents to keep the prototypes! And to our surprise, parents loved playing the games too. Although some games are designed for children only, the nature of the Tokidos 5 allows parents to easily engage and problem solve with their children! And when it comes down to social games, it’s sometimes hard to stop playing…

Game difficulty adjusts to the player so everyone is welcome to play. Too hard and we lose interest and too easy and we get bored. That’s why each games’ algorithm is designed to maintain that fine line between challenging and entertaining.

The Tokidos 5’s compact case and form factor make it an easy travelling companion. The case is used to charge the cubes, store them, store the game cards as well as the corde extension when not charging! A bit like our smartphones, but adapted to our children!

The Tokidos are designed with heavy wear and tear in mind. We know that things can get quite competitive and upsetting, and we make sure that the Tokidos can take quite a beating so that you can focus on fun and play without interruption!

Delivery will begin in the fall of 2023. We know you want to have them as early as possible, and we’re working hard on that. We also wanna make sure that you receive a product you’re really satisfied with and avoid rushing through key development cycles to ensure a top quality play experience.

Educational games combine the fun of playing with the thirst to learn. Children are immensely curious, but often get bored when learning material that is not stimulating enough. But when gaming mechanics meet rich content, learning becomes more approachable and exciting. At Tokidos, we make sure that the balance between learning and playing is such that you learn by being engaged in fun challenges, stories and interactive, brains-on play.

There are many benefits to family play time, but the one we find most important is the bond that gets developed within family members. This often includes laughter, jokes and good times but can also include competitiveness, losing and winning as well as some disappointments. We think that they are all a part of building a strong family bond and using these experiences to learn how to deal with high and low emotions!

Social family games can be as simple as getting points for whoever sees a red car first. A really fun game while on the road. At Tokidos, we’re creating social games for all ages and contexts: for the road, the cottage, the plane or at home. We also make it so that all skills of all ages can be used and developed, be it vocabulary, colour names, numbers, maths or general fun facts.

The best games for your children are the ones that they are naturally drawn to. If your children like maths or languages, we recommend putting as many flavours of maths and language games in front of them. But we often find that some interests don’t arise because of understimulation or suboptimal introductions to certain subjects or topics. For children to feel comfortable in a certain topic, make sure that they learn its basics in a suitable way. They might just develop a new interest!

The Tokidos are designed for children 3 to 8 and their families. It’s a concervative age range and we know that children up to 10 have a fond interest in the Tokidos. We do intend to create gaming experiences for children up to 12, such as to allow them to code their own games. But this will be coming a little further down the road!

We say that ourselves. But many parents that have tried the Tokidos 5 leave the experience amazed and praise how “smart” the conception of the games and platform is and “unlike anything out there”. Our recommendation is that you try it for yourself and see if your children really enjoy it. We’ll be happy to have it back if it doesn’t suit your needs.

You simply place a game card in the mouth of the main cube to start a new game. You’ll then see and hear the instructions of the game and you can start playing. Each cube has a rechargeable battery, so you simply place them in their case to charge them. For more info, see the video below.
