Tap the duck and the duck quacks. That is roughly the level of complexity a children's game aims for in its opening seconds, and it is a smart place to start. From there, stages add a little more: sort by color, count to five, hop across stones. The child stays in control of the pace. Sessions are as long as the attention span and no longer.

Why it's worth a go

Going up is free, runs in the browser, and needs no download or account. For a parent that means it works on any device with no setup. For a child it means big buttons, friendly sounds, and a game that never tells them they got it wrong.

Who it's for

Suits toddlers and young children, with the simplest stages manageable at around three years old. Parents, carers and older siblings can join in. Reading is not required for most of it.
