EGOLINOKIDS · A VIRTUAL PET
Egolino Kids is a virtual pet game for children. A little Egolino lives in a house on the phone. He walks from room to room on his own, opens the fridge, naps in his bed and writes it all down in his diary. Children can pick him up, toss him and watch what he does next. No ads, no chat with strangers, no account. For Android, on Google Play.
Today
Today I opened the fridge for the very first time! It's freezing in there.
Last night
It was raining cookies in the kitchen, very slowly, like snowflakes.

IN THE APP

No messages from other people, no strangers writing in. Online games only start after a grown-up has opened them.

No hunger meter, no countdown, no streaks. He never dies, and nothing is lost after a break.
WHAT'S INSIDE
What children can do with their Egolino.
The house
He walks through the rooms, opens the fridge, hides in a box and climbs to the attic.
Shop and marble jar
Marbles come from playing. In the shop they turn into toys, furniture, tricks and clothes.
Game world
Cushion Hop, Treat Run, Arena and Tournament. In the arena he fights on his own, and children cheer.
Notebook
Diary, dreams and feelings, written from what happened in the house that day.
QUESTIONS
Is Egolino Kids free?
Yes. The app is free and has no ads. Marbles for the shop come from playing. Grown-ups can buy marble packs, but only behind the parent gate.
Can my child chat with strangers?
No. There is no way to write to other people in Egolino Kids. In online games, children only see the other Egolino play, without names and without messages.
Does it need an account or an email address?
No. There is no account and no sign-in. The Egolino, the house and the marbles stay on the phone.
Can the Egolino starve or die?
No. There is no hunger meter and no countdown. He gets tired, sleeps and wakes up again. Nothing is lost if nobody plays for a while.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The house, the shop, the games against the computer and the chat with the Egolino work without internet. A connection is only needed for online games, which a grown-up has to open first, and for loading the chat's language model and voice once, which only a grown-up can do.
Is there an iPhone version?
Not yet. Egolino Kids is for Android, on Google Play. An iPhone version is in the works.
Can my child talk to the Egolino?
Yes. Children can write to him or say something, and he answers. The language model for this runs only on the phone: nothing a child writes or says leaves the device or is stored, and the chat needs no internet. The model only comes onto the phone when a grown-up loads it in the area for grown-ups, behind the parent gate. Until then the Egolino answers with fixed sentences. On sensitive topics he always answers with fixed, pre-written sentences. The chat can be switched off in the same area.
