Within 24 hours after their U.S. launch with Uma Thurman at the American Museum of Natural History, Dino Tales & Safari Tales had climbed to the top 10 rankings in education apps for children. Designed for kids ages 3-11, they offer fun and engaging challenges within the prehistoric world that ultimately create a personalized story for parent and child to enjoy.

​Using innovative technology with the use of SIRI, the child can ask factual questions about the creatures and items they encounter throughout their journey to their own personal sidekick - Darwin. 
Teeming with wildlife, lava slides, erupting volcanoes, a musical boneyard and more, these games
 remain enthusiastic while strengthening literacy, reasoning and enquiry skills.

Dino Tales and Safari Tales are available now on iOS and Android platforms at $3.99. More information is available at www.dinotalesgame.com and www.safaritalesgame.com.
