Play companion
The app knows which mission the child is working on – and explains, asks and deepens according to the play state.
Solution · For game, board-game and edutainment publishers
Scan & Play. The kid-safe AI as an add-on to the board game.
Scan & Play extends physical games into the digital world: an AI app that accompanies the board game – explaining rules, answering questions, deepening the moment of play. Kid-safe, GDPR-compliant, with your characters and your brand voice.
- GDPR-compliant
- Made in Germany
- Companion to the game
Content partner under contract: Fix & Foxi Learning GmbH. Hybrid play experience in preparation.
What the solution enables
Your game. Your characters. Your brand voice.
– in the app that accompanies children without absorbing them.
Instructions by scan
Scan the QR code and start right away: the app explains the rules and answers questions about the game – interactive and in many languages.
Learning bridge
The play moment becomes a learning moment – adaptive to the age group and topic module.
Character voice
Your characters and game world speak in your own brand voice. Your IP stays recognisable, never generic.
Hybrid approach
Augment existing games or design new ones hybrid from the ground up: analog and digital worlds interlock.
Why now
Edutainment has become hybrid – physical and digital.
Board games, collectible cards, play figures still work – but children expect a digital extension. An app that picks up the play experience, continues and deepens it. Publishers who think only in physical lose the digital touchpoint. Publishers who think only digital lose the haptic.
Hybrid edutainment means: physical product and digital companion lock into each other. The AI must not become a risk – no memory, no persona, no hidden data usage. That is where we come in.
Trust through clear rules
What this solution deliberately excludes.
We don't build parasocial companion AI:
- No parasocial bonding, no persistent relationship simulation.
- No long-term memory of individual children.
- No tricks that push children to keep playing, no optimisation for daily usage.
- No optimisation for emotional attachment.
- The character voice stays in its role and never speaks beyond the brand.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Do we lose IP control?
+−
No. RAG-based architecture means: your content stays structurally with you, the AI only reads from it without learning or passing it on.
Will our games become standalone apps?
+−
Both are possible – app as play companion or as standalone extension. Terms configured by contract.
What happens for younger children (under 6)?
+−
The app is built for ages 4–14. For the younger tiers the focus is read-aloud, image interaction and parents reading along.
