Busy Brains

Busy Brains is ten learning games for children aged 3 to 12, built by parents. No adverts. No third-party tracking. Nothing waiting to interrupt your child halfway through. Fifteen focused minutes a day is enough to see a difference. Every game adapts to your child's age group, so a three-year-old matching pictures and a ten-year-old rebuilding a jigsaw are each playing something that fits. TEN GAMES IN ONE APP Memory Match — find the pairs. Memory retention, concentration and visual perception. Number Explorers — counting, addition, subtraction and comparing. Early maths that grows with them. Alphabet Adventure — letter recognition, phonics and early reading. Word Wizard — spell the word from the picture. Vocabulary and spelling, one letter at a time. Picture Puzzle — rebuild a picture from memory. Spatial awareness and problem-solving. Trace Trail — trace letters, numbers and shapes with a finger, and colour the shapes in. Time Tickers — learn to tell the time on both analogue and digital clocks. Monster Munch — match colours and shapes. Sorting, sequencing and hand-eye coordination. Balloon Bursters — pop the right balloon before it floats away. Attention span and processing speed. Brain Trainer — one round of every game, mixed together. WHAT YOUR CHILD PRACTISES Reading and language — letter recognition, phonics, vocabulary development, spelling. Maths — number recognition, counting, arithmetic, pattern recognition, logical reasoning. Thinking — problem-solving, critical thinking, decision-making, sequencing, memory. Attention — concentration, focus, processing speed, visual perception, spatial awareness. Motor skills — hand-eye coordination, fine motor control, touchscreen precision. And the quieter ones that matter just as much: patience, perseverance, independence, and the confidence that comes from finishing something difficult. BUILT FOR THREE AGES 3–5, 6–8 and 9–12. Choose an age group and every game changes with it — shorter words, smaller grids and no timers for the youngest; longer words, bigger puzzles and a clock for the oldest. Change it any time as your child grows. FOR PARENTS • Play limits — play for fifteen minutes, then a break. You set both. • Bedtime — the app sleeps outside the hours you allow. • Different limits for school days and weekends. • A PIN, so only you can change any of it. • A separate profile for each child, with their own progress and their own limits. • A progress screen showing stars, accuracy and which skills are growing. • No adverts, no third-party analytics, no advertising ID. WHAT IT COSTS Memory Match and Number Explorers are completely free — every category, every level, no subscription and no account needed. The other eight games give you the first five levels of every category free, and a subscription unlocks the rest. Every purchase sits behind a parent gate, so a child cannot buy anything on their own. A NOTE FROM US We are parents, and we built the app our own children use. That meant no adverts, no pop-ups pulling them somewhere else, and nothing following them around the internet. We would rather your child had fifteen focused minutes than an hour of noise. Thank you for letting us be part of their learning.
