Have your toddlers and young kids experienced the Sago Mini world of apps yet? I love their cast of characters and safe game play. I don't know if many of you know but I spent over seven years as a designer and creative director in an interactive agency in late 90's - early 2000's. My specialty was designing kids games (in Flash back in the day). I worked on the Mattel account for five years as well as other large kids brands. Sago Mini does such a great job with their game play for young kids to explore that it makes me nostalgic for the early days of the Internet when I was working on creating games. I really admire all the hard work and level of interactive detail that they put into their games, as well as their excellence in artwork.
Their new app which recently launched called Big City is a digital playlet and takes kids along a bustling downtown filled with a diner, post office, market, museum and more! This game is available in the Sago Mini World app or as a standalone app as well ($3.99 App Store | Google Play | Amazon).
Elaine Hsu, the lead artist for this game grew up in Toronto and created the illustrations based on her childhood travel experiences. You can read her letter to parents online. It's so cool to see how she brought her own experiences to create this game.
Turn on the unicorn fountain or turn the city from day to night easily with a tap. You can save a kitty from the tree, move the hot dog cart -- everything works! You can even feed a hot dog to a pigeon! (Something not to do in real life - lol).
All the characters are so adorable and you can move them out of buildings and around the city. I like collecting some and making them ride the bus around town.
As with all Sago Mini toys, there are no in app purchases. These games are safe and just oh so cute. Perfect for summer road trips or when you are eating out in a restaurant and need to keep the little ones busy this summer!
Purchase Sago Mini Big City at the App Store, Google Play or Amazon.
