What does my kid do in Wild World?
In Wild World, your kid sails a Darwin-style expedition on the Beagle, traveling chapter by chapter to observe and collect real species. Along the way they make field-guide entries, and they finish with a shareable expedition journal of about thirty species.
What it is
Wild World is the Kubrio app where your kid becomes a naturalist on a voyage. It's built as a Darwin-style expedition — the journey of the Beagle — where your kid travels chapter by chapter, stops at real places, and observes the animals, plants, and fungi that live there. Along the way they collect species into a field journal the way a working naturalist would, noticing what each creature is, where it lives, and how it fits the world around it. The promise is simple: come for the leopard, leave understanding the mountain.
What your kid actually does, step by step
- Set sail. Your kid boards the expedition and opens the first chapter — a real stretch of the voyage with its own place and its own creatures.
- Meet a species. A real animal, plant, or fungus appears with a photo, its name, and a few clues. Where it lives is hidden at first.
- Make the call. Your kid works out the habitat and place it belongs to, then confirms. A gentle reveal tells them where it actually lives — and a wrong guess turns into the best moment to learn something.
- Go deeper. They read a kid-friendly page on the species: how it survives, what it eats, how it connects to everything else in its habitat.
- Make a field note. Your kid answers a couple of curiosity prompts — what surprised them, what they want to remember — and the app turns their words into a beautiful illustrated field-guide entry with their name on it.
- Sail on. They move through about thirty species across six chapters, filling in the map and the journal as the voyage unfolds. There's a gentle daily cap so it stays a ritual, not a binge.
What they finish with
The artifact is an expedition journal — a growing field guide of the species your kid observed, each entry illustrated and signed by them, in the manner of Darwin's own notebooks. It lives in their Wild World collection and their portfolio. Individual field notes can be shared with family, shown at Demo Week, or published to kubrio.com/made if your kid chooses. Every entry has their name as the headline — the kind of thing that ends up on the fridge. Nothing is shared without their say-so.
The AI's role
The AI Crew — Krea, Tek, and Brio — rides along as thinking partners. Your kid can ask them about a creature they just met, and the Crew already knows which species they're on. The Crew talks things through and reacts to your kid's own observations; it doesn't do the observing for them. Your kid makes the call, writes the note, and asks the questions. The AI helps turn their words into a keepsake — it never replaces the noticing.
What parents see
When your kid shares a field note, you get it that evening through Claire, your family's coach — an illustrated entry with a fact your kid was excited about. Wild World is built around a calm daily rhythm rather than an endless feed, so it tends to send your kid off once they've explored enough for the day. For the bigger picture, see sprints vs. studio time.
Frequently asked questions
What ages is Wild World for?
Kids 6 to 13, one design for everyone. A younger kid and an older kid meet the same species; the depth comes from their own curiosity and the questions they ask.
Are the species and facts real?
Yes. Wild World uses real species, real habitats, and real conservation information — not made-up creatures. The expedition frame is Darwin's; the wildlife is genuine.
Does my kid type or speak?
Either. The field-note prompts accept typed answers or voice, and your kid can chat with the Crew by voice or text.
What device does it need?
Wild World runs in the browser and works on the tablets and laptops your family already uses. Ready to set sail on the first chapter? [Get started](https://app.kubrio.com/start).
