Company mission
To 'Set Creativity Free' and create digital experiences for children as rich in creative possibility as a sheet of paper.
Our take
Night Zookeeper is making reading and writing fun, not a chore. Aimed at kids aged 6 to 12, it's an award-winning program that turns literacy learning into an exciting adventure. Instead of worksheets and spelling tests, kids get to explore a magical world called the Night Zoo, where they invent characters, fight off creativity-stealing villains and become part of an imaginative story - all while improving their grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and writing skills.
What really makes Night Zookeeper stand out is how much it's achieved. Over 1M children across 95 countries have joined the Night Zoo, writing more than 500M words along the way. It's even expanded beyond the screen with a popular six-book adventure series and a TV show.
And now, they've taken things one step further with the recent launch of an iOS app. This mobile version of the program makes it even easier for kids to dive into their reading and writing journey. The app introduces "Quests" that guide children through missions, helping them build skills at their own pace with the support of real educators. This new app sets the stage for even bigger things to come, and Night Zookeeper is ensuring that the next generation grows up with confidence and curiosity.
