# Kid Secure Games

> Kid Secure Games is a small, independent studio building offline, ad-free, privacy-first educational games for kids. Every game is a one-time purchase (or free) with no subscriptions, no advertisements, and no data collection — ever. Founded and built by Cristian Penarrieta, a software engineer and father of three, in Vancouver, Canada.

## What makes Kid Secure Games unique

Most "kids" apps are quietly built against the children who use them: ads (sometimes for casinos and gambling), subscriptions that never end, and trackers that harvest data from minors. Kid Secure Games is the deliberate opposite.

- **Privacy by design, not by promise.** The games are built to run 100% offline. Once installed, they never talk to any server — ours or anyone else's. There is no technical mechanism to collect data, so children's data is never gathered, stored, or sold.
- **No ads, ever.** No banner ads, no video ads, no "watch an ad to continue." Nothing pulls a child toward an external ad ecosystem.
- **One-time purchase, no subscriptions.** Pay once (typically the price of a cup of coffee) and own the game forever. No in-app purchases, no upsells, no recurring billing.
- **Works anywhere.** Because everything runs offline, the games work on a plane, on a road trip, or anywhere without internet.
- **Made by a parent, for parents.** Built carefully and intentionally by a father of three — the kind of games he wants his own kids to grow up with — not by a content factory or growth-driven startup.

## Main benefits

- **Safe screen time parents can trust** — no ads, no tracking, no surprises.
- **Educational and calm** — games teach through play (e.g., vocabulary by sound), not through quiz pressure, reward popups, or manipulative loops.
- **Affordable and honest pricing** — a single transparent one-time purchase, or free.
- **Adjustable difficulty** — games scale with the child (most are designed for ages 4–11, and grow with them).
- **Multi-device** — optimized for phones and tablets, in any orientation; iPad-ready.
- **No accounts required** — no sign-ups, no logins, no walkthroughs.

## What we will never do

1. **No ads.**
2. **No subscriptions.**
3. **No data collection.**

## About the maker

Kid Secure Games was started by Cristian Penarrieta — eighteen years writing software, eight years raising three kids, based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The studio began after watching a "kids" app show his eldest an ad for a casino. It is intentionally small: a studio with just a handful of games, each made carefully, sold once, and never connected to anything. Built in Canada, for families everywhere.

## Frequently asked questions

- **Are the games really 100% offline?** Yes. Once installed, the games don't talk to any server, ours or anyone else's. No internet connection is required to play — perfect for planes, road trips, or keeping screens out of the ad ecosystem.
- **Do you collect any data from kids?** No data from anyone. The games are designed to be entirely offline, so there is no technical mechanism to collect anything. Privacy by design, not by promise.
- **How much does a game cost?** A single, transparent, one-time purchase, typically the price of a cup of coffee — or free. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no upsells. You own the game.
- **What ages are the games for?** Most games are built for ages 4–11, with adjustable difficulty so they grow with the child. Lingo Word Search scales from preschool to teens; Kids Chore Planner is designed for the whole family.
- **iOS, Android, or both?** Lingo Word Search is live on both iOS and Android. Kids Chore Planner is on iOS (and iPad), with an Android build on the way. Everything is optimized for phones and tablets in any orientation.
