Is the game safe for my child?

Yes, the maximum safety and privacy of children is our priority. The game does not collect any personal data, does not contain third-party ads or tracking tools. All game progress is saved only locally on your device. You can find more information in our Privacy Policy.

What happens when the dragon reaches the end?

The game has several different stories and can be played repeatedly, each time with a different story. After finishing one story, you have the option to start the whole adventure from the beginning with a new egg and experience another, completely new story.

Do I have to pay for the game?

The game offers a free basic version, which includes the Counting mini-game and complete dragon care. For the full experience, a full version is available, which is unlocked with a one-time purchase. This gives you access to all 10 mini-games, the AI assistant, and the dragon's full voice-over. Your purchase directly supports the hours and months of development that have been put into the game.

How does the AI assistant (Google Gemini) work?

The full version of the game integrates an AI assistant that uses Google Gemini technology. Children can talk to the dragon and it will answer them. This feature is designed to be fun and interactive for children. All communication is sent to Google for analysis, but it is anonymous and is only used to generate a response. The prompt is also limited and safe for children, topics like violence, sex, etc. are blocked. The entire game, including the AI assistant, had to go through Google's approval process, which has strict security requirements for children's applications. The application has also obtained the international IARC certification, which confirms its suitability for children. You can turn this feature off at any time in the game settings.

What is the difference between a shared and a custom AI API key?

For the AI assistant to work, the game uses a shared API key by default. This key has a limited number of queries for all players combined. Therefore, it may happen that the AI temporarily stops responding during high traffic.

That's why the game offers the option to insert your own (private) Google Gemini API key. This will give you several advantages:

Unlimited use: The AI will always work without limits, because you are the only one using the key.
It's free: Creating your own API key in Google AI Studio is completely free for personal use.
How to do it? Visit Google AI Studio, log in with your Google account and click on "Create API key". Then simply copy the obtained key into the settings in the game.
