A virtual pet game for kids aged 6 to 12
A tiny pet to look after, with no ads, no chat and nothing for kids to buy
Your kid hatches a Mibuu from an Egg, then feeds it, tucks it in and plays short games with it, school math at their grade among them. A few minutes a day is all it needs. It sleeps through bedtime and school hours, and a missed day never hurts it.
Mibuu is in testing with a small group of families. It isn't in the stores yet.
Why parents say yes
-
A few minutes, then it lets go
A Mibuu only grows so much each day, so playing for hours gets your kid nowhere. It sleeps at night and during school, and there are no streaks to keep. The game sends no notifications unless you switch on its one gentle note a day.
-
School math at their grade
Your kid practices school math for grades 1 to 6, following the school curriculum of the US, the UK, Brazil, Portugal, Spain or Mexico. You set the grade in the Parent Area, and your kid never sees it.
-
Friends only from real life
Kids become Friends by scanning a code on each other's phone, face to face. There is no search, no requests from strangers and no chat. Friends see a made-up Nickname such as "Bouncy Comet", never a real name.
-
Something that counts on them
A hungry Mibuu looks hungry and a tired one yawns. Your kid notices and does something about it: a snack, a bath, bedtime. When a Need runs low it gets sad or sleepy, never sick.

How Mibuu works
-
Hatch an Egg
Every Mibuu starts as an Egg. Its DNA picks its colours, its shape, its Personality and even its voice. No two Mibuus are the same.
-
Look after four Needs
Hunger, Rest, Clean and Fun. Feed your Mibuu, tuck it in, give it a bath and play with it. When a Need is low it gets sad or sleepy. It never gets sick.
-
Play short Activities
Math, a reflex game, Sort Rush, Road Hop, Echo and Block Fit. Each one takes a few minutes and grows a Talent: Smart, Sporty or Artsy. Sort Rush, Road Hop and Echo have a new challenge every day, the same round on every phone.
-
Evolve
Egg, Baby, Junior, Grown. You decide when your Mibuu moves up. It only grows so much each day, so a few minutes a day is plenty.
-
Meet Friends in person
Friends are kids you know in real life. One phone shows a QR code and the other scans it. Then you can visit each other's Room and Garden and see each other's scores in today's challenge.
-
Pair two Grown Mibuus
Two Friends Pair their Grown Mibuus, and each of you gets a new Egg that mixes both Mibuus' DNA. Sometimes it shows a Trait neither of them had. Your old Mibuu moves to your Collection, where you can still visit it.
Time away never hurts
A Mibuu sleeps at night and during school time, and it waits for you. Missing a day costs nothing. There are no streaks to keep.
For parents
We made Mibuu for kids, so we left a lot out.
-
No ads
There are no ads in Mibuu and no advertising code.
-
No chat
Kids can't type messages to anyone. Friends can only leave preset reactions, such as "cozy!".
-
No currency to buy, no loot boxes
Stars are earned by playing and are never sold. Surprise Boxes come from play, and money can't open one.
-
Nothing for sale to kids
This version sells nothing at all. If we add optional packs later, each will be a one-time purchase with fixed contents that only a grown-up can buy, in the Parent Area, through the App Store or Google Play. Your kid never sees a price.
-
A gate for grown-ups
The Parent Area opens with Face ID, a fingerprint or the phone's passcode if you turn that on, or with a 4-digit PIN you set. Without either, it asks a number question that adults find easy and kids find hard.
-
Quiet Hours
The Mibuu sleeps at night and during school time, and its Needs pause. You choose the times in the Parent Area.
-
No personal data from kids
We don't collect names, email addresses, photos, birthdays or location. Your kid can type a secret name for their Mibuu and a label for each Friend, and both stay on the phone.
-
No sign-in
There is no account to create, no email and no password. On our server your kid is a random id and a Nickname made from preset words, such as "Bouncy Comet".
-
You stay in control
In the Parent Area you can remove a Friend, turn every online feature off and delete everything our server keeps for your kid.
