Avatar Customization
Embarking on their journey, children create a character with a diverse set of customizable features, including skin tones, hair colors, and eye colors.
First you’re introduced to Mac the Megaphone, the Little Allies mascot. Then, choices such as name, age, and preferred settings curate the experience, tailoring the complexity of scenarios based on age. This allows children to confront mature issues in a comprehensible manner.
Interactive Scenarios
Children navigate various scenarios, selecting responses and receiving explanations about why their choice was "right" or "wrong." Correct choices earn badges, quantifying and positively reinforcing allied behavior. Scenarios range from one-on-one to group situations.
Parental Component
Beyond the confines of the Little Allies app, adults can opt to receive text or email notifications. These updates provide a review of resources and summaries detailing their child’s accomplishments in the game. Thought-starters are included to assist parents in sustaining meaningful conversations sparked by their child's experiences within the app.
Destinations
Badge Journal
