Pok Pok has won an App Store Award! 🤩 For us, this feels like winning our version of the Oscars and we are absolutely buzzing with excitement. (Can you feel it radiate off the screen?!) As we said when announcing our nomination, this is just as much your award as it is ours. Pok Pok’s growth would not be possible without all of the ways our community has so generously shared their feedback with us and introduced the app to other parents. There are few words to describe how it feels to not only receive such a prestigious award, but to also be so affirmed in our mission. We’ve unpacked this in our latest blog post with a special word from our founders: https://lnkd.in/gKdJ-XAp #AppStoreAwards #KidsApp

Tune in to Rise and Play for a juicy conversation between our Co-Founder and CEO Melissa Cash and the incomparable Sophie Vo about all things gaming and kids. ✨
💡 How far have we pushed the boundaries of #Play and #Games to other fields such as education? That's the exciting journey that Pok Pok is on: to help raise the next generation of creative thinkers with digital toys that empower kids to be creative and think outside the box. The future is in the hands of the little dreamers and problem-solvers who will one day change the world 🙌 In this episode, we interview Melissa Cash, co-founder and CEO of Pok Pok. For game developers considering branching out from core games, we share the challenges and strategies of developing #nonaddictive, #educational content for young children, focusing on the importance of designing tools that integrate seamlessly with a parent’s daily life. Pok Pok, raised $3 million in seed funding in 2022. The company was founded in 2019 after it spun out of Snowman, the small studio behind award-winning iOS games #Alto’s Adventure, #Alto’s Odyssey, Skate City and others. Pok Pok is a great example of how games can be expanded beyond the gaming industry to consumer and educational apps. Episode available on podcast 🎧 #edtech #education #play #pokpok
