    To play any Osmo game, you will need:

  • What does Osmo do?
    • Osmo makes hands-on learning games in which players use objects in the real world to interact with the digital world shown on their iPad or Fire tablets.
  • What's unique about Osmo?
    • We believe children learn best from hands-on education. Osmo’s games are geared toward embodied learning, meaning our games teach abstract concepts by connecting them to objects and actions in the physical world. Osmo games promote embodied learning through physical-digital interactions.

  • What skills do Osmo games promote?

    • Coding (Coding Awbie, Coding Jam, Coding Duo)
    • Math (Numbers, Pizza Co.)
    • Drawing (Monster, Super Studio, Masterpiece)
    • Spelling (Words)
    • Fundamentals of Physics (Newton)
    • Spatial relational skills (Tangram)
    • World geography (Detective Agency)

      • In addition to teaching traditional subject matter, Osmo games foster social-emotional skills like problem-solving, creativity and perseverance

    • What age group is Osmo designed for?
      • Most Osmo games are designed for ages 5–12. Monster and Super Studio are appropriate for ages 4+.

        For younger children, we recommend the brand-new Osmo Little Genius Starter Kit, which includes four games designed specifically for kids ages 3–5. These games teach pre-reading, storytelling and fine motor skill development.

    • How does Osmo works with my device camera?
      • The Osmo Reflector bounces image of player’s game piece arrangement or drawing into the device camera. The Osmo app processes this image and recreates the image on the screen. Since Osmo uses a covered reflector, please place it in designated area. 
    • What happens if I lose or break a game piece, a red reflector, or the base?
      • For lost or broken game pieces: We’re happy to replace lost or broken game pieces free of charge, within reason, for the first 90 days. 

        For a lost or broken red reflector or base: Replacement reflectors and bases are available for purchase in our store.
