About Gạo Play
Gạo Play is a learn-and-play app for children aged 2 to 5, built by a Vietnamese dad for his own daughter. Your child travels with Gạo — a small, round companion — along a map of short stages. Every stage is a quick game, and finishing one earns stars. Nothing is locked; your child can play whichever game they like. SIX GAMES • Counting — tap apples one by one, Gạo says each number out loud • Spelling — build an animal's name from letter tiles • Coloring — paint pictures with a fingertip and hear every colour named • Shapes — drag each shape into the slot it belongs in • English — hear an English word, then pick the right animal • Math — compare more and less, then addition and subtraction DIFFICULTY FOLLOWS YOUR CHILD'S AGE Set your child's age once and all six games adapt. A two-year-old counts to five and simply points at "which one has more". A five-year-old counts to 100, spells unaided and handles subtraction. Change the age any time in Settings. A ZOO OF 100 FRIENDS Every star milestone brings a new animal home. There are 100 to collect — months of play. ONE SMALL THING EACH DAY Each day your child opens one gift, waters Gạo's tree once and feeds the animals once. When the tree blooms, the Golden Bee moves into the zoo. SPOKEN VIETNAMESE GUIDANCE Every instruction is read aloud, so a child who cannot read yet can still play alone. VIETNAMESE – ENGLISH Turn on bilingual mode to show the English word under the Vietnamese one. FOR PARENTS • Completely free — no game is locked • No advertising • No sign-in, no account • No personal information collected from your child • Works fully offline • The optional "tip the developer" button sits behind an adults-only gate Gạo is waiting!
