FolkabooYour family, the stars of their very first games.
Folkaboo turns the people your child loves — Mama, Dada, Nani, big brother — into talking, dancing characters inside gentle learning games, set in a world that looks like home. With a theme song that sings their name.
Three steps to their own little world
A clear photo of each person who matters — parents, siblings, grandparents, the dog. Tell us their names and what your child calls them.
Each photo becomes a gentle puppet that blinks, talks and dances, placed in a world drawn from your home — with a song that sings your child's name.
Open it on any phone or tablet — no app store. New games, seasons and family members arrive as your child grows.
Every game is starring someone they love
Mama holds the colour. Dada counts the balloons. Nani hides behind the temple. No game ever marks a child wrong — a miss gets a gentle hint and another try, and every win makes the next round a little harder.
Set in a world that looks like home
Every family gets a world drawn from their own place — and every world is alive. Children meet the plants, animals and seasons of the ecosystem around them, so learning starts with what they can see out of the window.
Water, rice and the ducks that keep the paddies clean.
Tides, shells, turtles and counting the waves.
Monkeys, frangipani and finding who's hiding in the leaves.
Shapes in stone, offerings and the colours of ceremony.
Fireflies, the moon and a dance before bed.
Bali worlds come first; seasonal packs and new places — farms, forests, snow, cities — are on the way.
Designed around how little ones learn
Folkaboo itself hasn't been studied yet — an independent pilot is planned. But it's built on research we're careful about.
Your child's face is the most precious data there is. We treat it that way.
Privacy isn't a setting at Folkaboo. It's the foundation.
- Faces are processed on our own systems — never sent to outside AI companies.
- Family photos are never used to train AI. It's in writing.
- Source photos are deleted once you approve your family's game.
- Every family world is behind its own private link and passcode.
- Parent-only accounts with verified parental consent.
- No ads, no chat, no strangers — ever.

Nani lives in Delhi. In her grandchild's game, she's right there every day.
Millions of grandparents watch children grow up through a phone. Folkaboo puts them right inside the play — with their own face, their name and, soon, their voice.
