The Magic Pond 2.0

Jokotoki, a term derived from the Basque language meaning "Game" and "Place," represents a young company characterized by enthusiasm and a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, artists, marketers, teachers, and educators dedicated to developing high-quality digital games.

In an era where devices such as tablets and smartphones offer children diverse opportunities for interactive learning and play, Jokotoki aims to foster an environment where learning is seamlessly integrated with entertainment. Their approach emphasizes the concept of learning through play, enhancing engagement while promoting development.

Magic Pond is their inaugural application, marking the initial phase of an ambitious project. The app features a thoughtfully designed, inviting magical setting that is both educational and entertaining. It encourages children to explore freely—touching, playing, discovering—while being supported by parental guidance. The design promotes curiosity, laughter, singing, and learning within a safe space.

The app is segmented into four distinct areas, each introduced by a charming green frog character. The central zone — Magic Pond — is animated and interactive: everything moves and can be touched. Activities include scenes such as waking up a ladybug or guiding butterflies from seemingly flowers. These tasks aim to stimulate children’s curiosity and imagination without imposing specific objectives. Children can proceed at their own pace; if fatigue or boredom sets in, parents can simply tap on the house icon to navigate elsewhere.

Among the features is "The Game with the Chameleons," which takes place in a jungle setting accompanied by Caribbean music. This activity involves finding ten friendly chameleons that hide among the foliage—occasionally requiring adult assistance when a chameleon proves elusive. Neglecting to find all chameleons is not problematic; children can restart easily by clicking the house icon.

"The Game with the Frog and the Moon" depicts a dreaming frog who enjoys blowing soap bubbles at night in the Magic Pond. Each bursting bubble transforms into a glowing step guiding toward the moon, encouraging imaginative storytelling.

"The Pond’s Band" offers an interactive musical activity where children arrange band members correctly to synchronize with the rhythm. The task introduces children to beat and timing while appreciating musical instruments' sounds—highlighting fun with rhythm and coordination.

Jokotoki firmly opposes advertising within children’s applications or restricting access to content through mandatory in-app purchases. Transparency and respect for children’s innocence are core principles in their design philosophy.
