Everly Castle

Emerging Technologies Laboratory

About this app

Ten princesses. Ten real subjects. Learned by playing.

Everly Castle is built for pre-readers. Every word is spoken aloud, and a child can answer just by tapping a picture, so it can be played with little or no adult supervision.

Each princess lives in her own wing of the castle, in a different real country, and teaches one real subject: botany, astronomy, geology, music, and more. Children learn through stories and games, picking up real words from her language, real places, and real people along the way. They meet each princess's family too, and learn that families come in every shape, not just the traditional one. Nothing about the castle, the wings, or the ten princesses is imaginary in what it teaches, only in how it's dressed.

For grown-ups: a short guide explains what's inside before your child ever opens the app, so you know exactly what they're learning and how it works. No reading is required and no reading is taught here, the subjects are the point.

Every child can choose to play as a Princess or a Prince, pick a badge, and choose their own castle color, so the castle feels like theirs from the first screen.
