What it is
Tiny Town is a small open world drawn entirely in emoji. It is Festival of Kindness day, and townsfolk have gifts for one another that need delivering. Pick a character, then walk the streets: past the bakery, along the beach with its boats and dolphins, over to the airport where planes take off. Talk to a friend, collect their gift, find the person it is for. There are no enemies, no timer and no score, only a growing list of happy deliveries and a festival to finish.
How to play
- On a laptop or desktop: Arrow keys or WASD to walk. Walk into a person to talk to them. Enter to pick a character.
- On a tablet or phone: Tap where you want to go and your character walks there along the roads. Tap a person to talk.
What children learn
- Navigation and mental mapping of a small world
- Following multi-step instructions
- Reading short dialogue
- Kindness as the goal of the game
Tips for parents
Ask your child to tell you where they think the recipient lives before they set off. Older children like to plan a route that delivers two gifts in one trip.
Questions parents ask
- Is there any danger in the town?
- None. Nothing chases, nothing runs out. The only surprise is a puppy who might decide to follow you.
- How long does the festival take?
- Around ten to fifteen minutes for a child who knows the town. Exploring is encouraged, so it can happily take longer.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes, by tapping where you want to walk, though the town is more comfortable on a tablet or laptop.
