Blocks, then logic,
then real code
Children start by dragging blocks and finish by shipping something a friend can open. Pelo debugs beside them and never for them.
Planned Not playable yet. Listed so you can see where Zupelo is going, because an empty room is worse than an honest label.
Pelo should draw a square. What is wrong?
repeat 3 [ forward 100, turn 90 ]
Count the corners of a square. Now count what the loop does.
A sample, not a live game. Pelo hints and cheers — he never chats.
Five stages, three to eighteen
Not five difficulty settings. Each stage changes the reading level, the length of a round, how quickly Pelo offers a hint, and what the whole thing looks like.
Three decisions worth explaining
The bug is the lesson
Most of the work is broken code that needs finding, because that is most of the work in the job too.
Debugs with you, never for you
Pelo narrows down where to look and asks what you expected to happen. He does not paste the fix.
Blocks never disappear
Moving to text is a choice, not a door that locks. A child who wants the blocks back for a hard idea can have them.
What a child actually does
We did not build five hundred unrelated games. We built fifteen game types any subject can fill, which is why the twelfth academy costs a fraction of the first.
Make Pelo move
Drag blocks, watch him trip, work out why.
Bug hunt
Something here is broken. Find it before the timer.
Coding dungeon
Write the code that opens the door.
Ship it
Build something, then hand it to someone who was not there.
Most apps adapt the difficulty. Zupelo adapts everything else too.
The pitch of a question is the easy part. What changes underneath is which skill comes next, how it is explained, when a hint arrives, how long a session runs, and what a wrong answer is taken to mean.
Coding shares that engine with the other eleven. A day spent on coding keeps the same streak as a day spent anywhere else, because losing interest in one subject should never cost a child the habit.
How the engine picks🐚 One currency
Shells, earned for finishing and for coming back — never for being right. They cannot be bought and cannot be converted.
🔥 One streak
Any academy keeps it going. Miss a day and a streak save covers it, on every plan including free.
🔒 No leaderboard
There is no global ranking and no public profile. Comparison is with your own last week, or with friends a grown-up approved.
Every child learns differently.
Our AI learns how your child learns.
