What is PlayWith?

PlayWith is a game creation software designed specifically for children and young teens who want to learn how to make their own video games. With its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, kids can quickly build a wide variety of 2D game genres including platformers, top-down adventures, side scrolling shoot 'em ups, and more without needing to know how to code.

PlayWith comes packed with dozens of pre-made game templates, artwork, and customizable characters and assets that users can easily drag into their games. Young creators can then use the built-in editing tools to add their own art, modify character behaviors and abilities, create custom power-ups and hazards, craft unique levels and worlds, set scoring systems, and program conversation dialogues.

Once their masterpieces are complete, games can be shared online with friends or entered into PlayWith's monthly game design contests. Through creating fun games with PlayWith, kids will pick up valuable skills in creative problem-solving, critical thinking, project planning, and more while gaining confidence in their abilities.

With its focus on ease of use over advanced coding education at young ages, PlayWith opens up professional-level game creation to children as young as 8 years old. For parents seeking a kid-friendly, non-violent alternative to mainstream gaming, PlayWith turns video game play into an imaginative, screen time educational experience.
