Questions

FAQ

How do I get NEAR?

NEAR is paid. Buy access directly on the site, on its own or together with the play guides. Then just sign in on the app or in your browser.

What ages is it for?

Made for ages 2 to 10, but it works beyond that. Each activity shows its ideal age, and you filter in one tap.

Do I need to buy supplies?

Almost everything uses what you have at home: paper, tape, bottle caps, balloons. Each activity comes with its list.

How long does it take?

From 10 minutes to a whole afternoon. You pick by the time you have.

Can I use it with a class?

Yes! There are group activities, and access unlocks printables for the whole class.

Are my kids’ photos safe?

Yes. Your children’s name, age and photo stay only on your phone. Nothing goes to a server. See how we protect data.

Childhood does not wait

Ten minutes today become memories tomorrow.
