The game was designed with a œheads up, hands-free approach ” where the player is untethered from displays and keyboards ” to promote screen-free time to young children. This offers a healthier alternative to excessive screen time, encouraging freedom of both movement and imagination. The decision to expand the game to mobile platforms was based on wanting to reach a broader audience, both abroad and to families that do not have access to smart speakers.
A number of updates have been made with the new release based on feedback from players. One major learning point is that not everyone feels comfortable speaking out loud to their device in all situations, when on the bus or out walking for example. For this reason, the latest update to the game introduces multiple-choice questions as a way to solve math problems. Now players can solve math problems by voice control or the press of a button. Another major upgrade features colorized illustrations from the books, bringing a whole new look to the game across all platforms.
Tales of Sasha: The Interactive Audio Game is full of fantastical tales about a world with magical flying horses. With mathematical word problems on topics such as knitting leg warmers for flamingoes and playing hide-and-seek with zebras, this game introduces children ages 6-8 to math in a fun and engaging way!
"Technology today is everchanging and it is great to be partnered with a progressive company such as Wanderword as they continue to bring their interactive audio game to an even wider audience of children and families." - Shimul Tolia, CEO.
œWe're so excited to share Tales of Sasha with more people! With the popularity and ease of access to smartphones, we're looking forward to bringing Tales of Sasha: The Interactive Audio Game to a wider market. - Tova N¤slund, Producer.
