The Game's Room

Yesterday, I had the chance to see all my nephews.
Like always, they run to the computer room in my parents' house to do what they always do – play.

As you can imagine, the big ones play while the young ones look and wait for their turn (which arrives after several rounds of the big ones … You can see the passion of the young ones to be a part of the games activity.

However, something in this situation is not right! Most of the portals offer plenty of games for children with no age filtering - this is what we (the parents) are trying to avoid.

The result is young children playing games that do not fit them – they contain violent and inappropriate content and sometimes difficult games that the young ones can't deal with.

So, this is part of what Tucoola is about – We are bringing the children the right games that fit their age and in addition that fits their level in the various skills. The bonus is the "connected games" tool, which exposes the children to content that helps them to improve their specific skills.

This is what we believe that young children need to find in the games arena in their first years – The years we can still direct them, influence them and help them manage in this world.
