Marbotic

We help kids learn to read. EASY!
The optimal multisensory learning method blending digital + wooden manipulatives

My first mission at Marbotic was to revamp an old IP of theirs and apply game design mechanics to their learning tool.

Using wooden letters and a technology specifically designed for IPads and Android tablets, they developed a learning experience for children that taught them letters and numbers.

My goal then was to make this experience as fun as possible while keeping the IP’s key elements. I applied new game mechanics to the already existing system and streamlined the whole player’s journey.

We had a lot of fun thinking about new ways to use the letters and how to illustrate them. On top of that, I had the difficult task to playtest the game with 3-10 years old children that taught me a lot about design. How can you tell someone to push the big red button when he doesn’t know what’s a button and what’s red?!

In the end the product was well received by the young audience and parents all around!
