Custom hardware-integrated phonetics & reading games for young learners

Square Panda is a Bluetooth-enabled phonics playset that combines early reading pedagogy and multi­sensory play to unlock learning. The playset includes 46 tactile Smart Letter toys that interact with a suite of compatible Square Panda games, three of which were developed by Filament Games: Bubbles, Jiggity Jamble, and Monster Rhymes. Developing for custom hardware that uniquely integrates mobile technology with physical, toy-like inputs, our team worked closely alongside Square Panda to create a suite of playful experiences optimized for their platform.
