Real gameplay: tidying toys in Tidy Dozer, then mowing stripes in Lawnmower.
Four gentle games

Simple goals. Soft shapes. No rush.

Each game is a small, open-ended job your child can do at their own pace, with nothing to lose and no timers.

Free roam

Calm Drive

Wander quiet roads past giant domes, pyramids and arches. No goals, no rush.

Helping

Taxi

Pick up passengers and drive them home, following glowing rings.

Tidying

Tidy Dozer

Push the toys into the hole, with a springy boing when you need it.

Patterns

Lawnmower

Ride the mower and turn tall grass into neat stripes.

Designed for calm

Built to settle, not to hook

Many kids’ apps borrow tricks from adult games: flashing rewards, timers and loud fanfare. Shape Valley leaves them all out.

  • Slow, readable motion

    Soft pastel colours and unhurried movement a young child can follow. Nothing strobes or flashes.

  • Quiet, gentle sound

    Soft feedback instead of sirens and cheering. Plays perfectly well on mute.

  • No “game over”

    No scores, streaks or coins. Sessions wind down calmly when play time is up.

  • You stay in charge

    Set play time, speed and time of day. Auto drive helps the youngest, and a grown-up gate guards settings.

Parent FAQ

Questions parents ask

What age is Shape Valley for?

It’s designed for children aged about 2 to 6. Auto drive and big, simple controls help the youngest players, while older kids enjoy steering on their own.

Does Shape Valley have ads or in-app tracking?

No. There are no ads of any kind and no tracking or analytics. We don’t collect any personal information.

Does it work without the internet?

Yes. All four games work fully offline, so it’s handy for car journeys and flights. Only buying or restoring a subscription needs a connection.

What makes it a low-stimulation game?

Soft colours, slow motion, quiet sounds and open-ended play. There are no timers, scores, streaks or flashing rewards, and games end calmly instead of with “game over”.

Can I limit how long my child plays?

Yes. In the Parent Zone you can set play time, driving speed and time of day. Settings and purchases sit behind a grown-up gate.

Why I made Shape Valley
“My son gets overwhelmed by busy kids’ games, so I built a calm one for him.”

Too many colours, too much going on. Shape Valley started as a gentle game for him, and other parents kept asking for a version their kids could play too.
