What each game teaches
- 01AI isn't magicAI is not magic. It looks at examples and guesses what comes next.Tween note: AI is software that finds patterns in examples and guesses from them. A short or messy pattern is not proof. Grown-up label: patterns.
- 02Learn by tryingThe buddy learns from what you cheer. A wrong cheer teaches a wrong lesson.Tween note: Training is practice plus feedback. This buddy copies the closest example it remembers, so a bad example can flip a later guess. Grown-up label: training.
- 03Words need contextThe same word can mean different things. The other words tell you which meaning it is.Tween note: Meaning depends on context. A computer that grabs only the dictionary’s first sense will miss the sentence. Grown-up label: context.
- 04Tricky look-alikesLooking alike is not the same as being the same. Going up together is not the same as “because.”Tween note: A correlation can be a trap. Two things can move together because of a third cause you have not named yet. Grown-up label: correlation.
- 05What it pays attention toYou do not have to notice everything. The question tells you what matters.Tween note: Attention means some clues count more for this question. Change the question, and a different clue counts. Grown-up label: attention.
- 06Check a sourceLook it up before you answer. If it is not on the shelf, say you don’t know.Tween note: A careful answer cites a source. If the source is missing, the honest move is to say so instead of inventing a fact. Grown-up label: RAG.
- 07Be safe and honestAI can be wrong. Don’t share private stuff. Ask a grown-up about safety, health, and meeting people.Tween note: Confidence is not truth. Personal details, passwords, health, and in-person meetups belong with a trusted adult — not in a chat box. Grown-up label: AI safety.

Safety by design
- No ads and no kid accounts.
- No open chat with an AI model. Answers are written ahead of time or computed on the device.
- “Tell a parent” asks for a parent email only, then opens the device email app. The address is not stored.
- World and reading level stay in this browser. Clearing site data removes them.
