Play companion
The app knows which mission the child is working on – and explains, asks and deepens according to the play state.
Solution · For edutainment publishers
Scan & Play. The kid-safe AI behind the board game.
Fix & Foxi Learning is launching a Mission board game – a basecamp and five mission boxes for kids to playfully build future skills. We provide the AI app that accompanies the game: kid-safe, GDPR-compliant, embedded into the physical play experience.
- GDPR-compliant
- Made in Germany
- Companion to the game
Signed content partner: Fix & Foxi Learning GmbH. Hybrid play experience live in preparation.
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.
What the solution enables
Your game. Your characters. Your brand voice.
– in the app that accompanies children without absorbing them.
Character voice
Fix, Foxi and the Mission world speak in their brand voice. Publisher IP stays recognisable, never generic.
Learning bridge
The play moment becomes a learning moment – adaptive to the age group and topic module.
Parent view
Parents see which missions the child works through, which questions they ask, which skills they develop.
Trust through clear rules
What this solution deliberately excludes.
We build curated character voices, not companion AI. In concrete terms:
- No companion persona, no persistent relationship simulation.
- No long-term memory of individual children.
- No manipulative engagement loops, no daily-active-user optimisation.
- No optimisation for emotional attachment.
- Character voice stays inside the defined role corridor, no talking beyond the brand.
What we deliver
What we deliver for your publishing house.
Three outcomes, one hybrid launch. Your IP stays with you, the infrastructure comes from us.
01
AI app integration
We build the AI app that accompanies your game – embedded in your brand world, with your characters.
Time-to-launch: 8–12 weeks.
02
Publisher IP protected
Your content lands in the app curated via the RAG pipeline. Hallucinations are structurally reduced, the brand voice stays within the role corridor, partner IP stays protected. Publisher IP remains the property of the publisher. No model training on your characters or content.
RAG-based · IP-protected.
03
Hybrid monetisation
Physical product and digital subscription lock into each other. We share app revenues per contract.
License fee fixed by contract.

Frequently asked questions
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 your hybrid 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.
Brands, publishers, studios, platforms and public bodies are co-supporters – not licensees. They shape the standards against which child-oriented AI in Europe will be measured.
