Explore →Early adolescence brings a lot of change all at once, and middle schoolers are usually working through it in real time, managing new social pressures, finding friendship, and wondering where they fit in. Narrative educational games give young people a way to sit with those experiences at a safe distance and reflect on them through someone else's eyes, and as it just so happens, we’ve made a game that proves it!
Sign up below for our webinar on Tales from the Middle, an upcoming title from the Bezos Family Foundation and Filament Games, where we'll show how character-driven storytelling can support perspective-taking, self-reflection, and stronger conversation between kids and the adults in their lives.
We'll get specific about: how art direction and carefully constructed characters make a story land for players who are actively forming their identities, and how we approached hard middle school moments with care and specificity. We'll also share something we're excited about, which is a parent notification system that prompts timely, low-lift conversations between parents and kids without asking busy families to hover over the screen. If narrative games as shared spaces for learning and connection are something you care about, you'll leave with practical ideas you can put to work. We'd love to have you there.
