PlaySprig turns a game idea into a real game, step by step. Kids describe the idea in plain English, shape it into a concept and plan with AI, then build it milestone by milestone — playable at every step — and keep editing the JavaScript and assets to make it their own.

Block-based tools use visual blocks, and projects stay inside their platform. PlaySprig generates real JavaScript — code that transfers to web development and professional tools — and kids build with AI the way real developers do: concept, plan, then step-by-step milestones. It's designed for kids who have outgrown blocks and want to build more ambitious projects.

PlaySprig is designed for kids ages 8 to 14, though older beginners enjoy it too. Kids under 13 get a parent-aware signup flow with consent verification to comply with COPPA.

No. The product is designed to remove the blank-page problem. AI creates the first version, and you learn by tweaking, rerunning, and asking for changes.

JavaScript. It's a real, industry-standard language used by professional developers, not a proprietary language that only works inside PlaySprig. We use JavaScript because it gives kids a path into real-world creation fast: it runs in the browser, maps naturally to interactive games, and transfers directly into broader web development skills later on.

Yes. We're COPPA-compliant with no ads, no third-party trackers, and no behavioral profiling. All games run in a sandboxed browser environment that blocks external network calls. We collect only what's needed to run the service.

PlaySprig is built for kids, and so is its AI. It only does game creation — it can't browse the web or chat about open-ended topics — and every response passes through safeguards that keep themes, language, and content age-appropriate. Generated code is also validated before a single line runs.

Generated code runs in a constrained browser environment that blocks external network calls, prevents access to localStorage, and validates all code before execution. There are no ads and no tracking scripts.

Yes. Every project gets a shareable link that anyone can use to play the game in their browser. The shared game runs in the same safe sandbox environment.

No. Children under 13 sign up with a username and their parent's email address. The parent email is used for consent verification and account management — the child never needs an email of their own.

The free tier delivers the full core experience — editor, AI generation, live preview, and shareable links — while limiting storage to 3 projects and giving you a weekly AI creation allowance. It's there to prove value before you upgrade.

You'll see a clear message that you've used this week's AI allowance. You can keep editing and playing existing projects. Your allowance refreshes weekly, or you can upgrade to PlaySprig Creator for roughly 35x the weekly allowance, refreshing every 48 hours — enough to build about 6 games every week, or one large, well-polished game — plus unlimited saved projects.

Yes. There are no contracts or cancellation fees. You can cancel your PlaySprig Creator subscription at any time and your account reverts to the free plan. Your projects stay saved.

Not exactly. PlaySprig is for kids who want more creative range, real code, and AI-assisted building without jumping straight into an adult developer environment. It bridges the gap between beginner tools and professional IDEs.

Yes. The child creates an account with a username and provides a parent email. The parent receives a consent email and has 48 hours to approve. The child can use the platform during that window.
