Make your own game from your own drawings

In Game Studio, your kid draws the characters on paper and builds an escape game, an island adventure, or a hide-and-seek house the family can play.

What your kid can make

Three kinds of games, all from your kid's drawings

Your kid picks the kind of game, draws the characters, and builds it. The family plays it from a link.

The four skills your kid uses making a game, in 48 seconds.

What your kid makes

One game takes four skills

Your kid uses all four on every game, from the first drawing to the premiere.

How it works

Pick it, make it, share it

  1. 1

    Pick a project

    Your kid picks an escape game, an island adventure, or House Hunt. Each project says what your kid builds.

  2. 2

    Make it with AI

    Your kid draws the characters and builds every level, then plays each one. The AI turns the drawings into game characters and makes the cover and a theme song.

  3. 3

    Share it

    The game premieres in your kid's portfolio. Other Kubrio kids play it inside Kubrio, and the family plays it from a shared link.

Who does what

Your kid designs the game. AI helps build it.

Your kid

  • Draws the characters on paper and names them
  • Builds every level: an escape game's rooms, an island's tiles, or a house's rooms and furniture
  • In an escape game, picks each character's power cards: when something happens, what it does
  • Plays every level before the premiere

AI

  • Turns your kid's drawings into game characters
  • In an escape game, suggests a starting set of power cards and places the pieces from your kid's words
  • In an escape game, checks that every room can be beaten and paints the rooms
  • Makes the cover, and a theme song for the premiere

Inside Game Studio

How an escape game is made

These six steps make the escape game. The island adventure and House Hunt each have their own course, linked above.

  1. 1

    Draw the cast

    Your kid draws the hero and the villain on paper, snaps them in the app, and names them.

  2. 2

    Give them powers

    Your kid picks each character's power cards: when something happens, what it does. The AI suggests a starting set, and your kid changes any card.

  3. 3

    Build the rooms

    Your kid says what goes in each room, then drags the key, the door, and the platforms into place.

  4. 4

    Play every room

    Your kid plays each room before the premiere, and the studio checks that every room can be beaten.

  5. 5

    The cover and the song

    The studio paints the rooms and the cover, and makes a theme song for the premiere.

  6. 6

    Premiere it

    The game premieres in your kid's portfolio, ready for the family to play.

Mini escape game

One room

Your kid's first escape game: one room, one thing locked, and one way to open it.

Full escape game

Three rooms and an ending

It opens after your kid's first premiere.

For parents

What you need to know

Safety: it plays inside Kubrio, and on a public page you can make private anytime

  • The game plays inside Kubrio. At the premiere, your kid's game also becomes public: anyone with its link can play it. You and your kid can make it private anytime.
  • The hero and the villain are your kid's own drawings.

The rest of how Kubrio handles kids and AI is on the safety page.

More for parents about games and coding

Questions parents ask

How does my kid make their own game?

Your kid picks one of three kinds of game and draws the characters on paper. In an escape game, your kid gives each character power cards and lays out rooms with a key, a locked door, and a villain that chases. In an island adventure, your kid builds islands tile by tile and hides a boat key and a boat. In House Hunt, your kid builds a house room by room and hides three drawn things and a key in the furniture. Then your kid plays every level and premieres the game.

Does my kid need to know how to code?

No. In an escape game, your kid designs with power cards: when something happens, what it does. That is the same if-this-then-that thinking coders use. In an island adventure or House Hunt, your kid builds the levels by placing tiles, furniture, and hidden things. For block coding, the free Code with Blocks guides are a separate place to start.

Is it a real video game?

Yes. The game has your kid's characters, their levels, and a theme song, and it plays in the browser. Other Kubrio kids play it inside Kubrio, and the family plays it from a shared link.

Who is it for, and what do we need?

Kids 6 to 13. You need paper, something to draw with, and a device with a camera. The studio runs in the browser.

Does the AI make the game for my kid?

No. Your kid draws the characters, builds every level, and plays each one before the premiere. The AI turns the drawings into characters and makes the cover and a theme song. In an escape game, your kid also picks every power card, and the AI suggests where pieces go from your kid's words and paints the rooms. Your kid can change anything it suggests.

How big is the first game?

It depends on the kind of game. An escape game starts as a one-room mini game, and after the first premiere a full escape game has three rooms and an ending. An island adventure premieres with three islands and House Hunt with three houses. Island adventure and House Hunt have no mini or full sizes: your kid adds more islands or houses after the premiere.
