Boop Bay

Boop Bay is a gentle little learning game for toddlers, made by a dad for his kid. Little fingers drag toys off a cheerful banana boat and drop them into the matching holes: colors, shapes, fruit, animals, vehicles, sea friends, big and little, numbers and counting. A friendly voice names every one in English, Chinese or Spanish, and a little shark swims by to cheer after every round. When it's time to just play, there's a beach Playground full of things to tap. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, and it plays offline. For ages about 2–4.

See it in action

27 seconds of the game's demo mode, with sound: colors, the little shark, fruit, counting ducks and the Playground. The white dot stands in for a finger.

New lessons

Animals that say hello in their own sounds, vehicles, sea friends, big and little, and four new colors, plus a Playground sky you can tap.

30 seconds, with sound: “Cow! Moo!”, “Pig! Oink oink!” and “Cat! Meow!”, then vehicles, new colors, big and little, sea friends, and the sun and a raining cloud in the Playground.

Speaks three languages

Every word in Boop Bay is spoken in English, Mandarin Chinese or Spanish. Here's the same moment of the fruit lesson in all three. Turn the sound on!

English: “Apple! Banana! Strawberry! Grapes!” · Mandarin: “苹果!香蕉!草莓!葡萄!” · Spanish: “¡Manzana! ¡Plátano! ¡Fresa! ¡Uvas!”
The language labels in the corner are only in this video, not in the game.

17 lessons and a playground

The toys ride in on a banana boat. Tapping one makes the voice name it. Then the holes rise out of the water and the voice asks to match them. When a toy lands in its hole, the voice says its name again. A toy dropped in the wrong hole just floats back to the boat, with no failure sound and no scores.

  • A purple block dropping into its purple hole, with orange already home and pink and brown blocks still on the banana boat

    Colors 3 lessons

    Red, yellow and blue blocks go into the holes of the same color. Then green joins them, then orange, purple, pink and brown.

  • A square, circle, triangle and star on the banana boat above their matching shaped holes

    Shapes 2 lessons

    A square, a circle and a triangle each find their own shaped hole. Then the star joins in.

  • A big duck and a little duck in their own-sized holes, with a big and a little apple waiting on the banana boat

    Big & little 1 lesson

    A big duck and a little duck, a big apple and a little apple. Each one fits only the hole of its own size, and the voice asks “Big or little?”

  • An apple on its way to an apple-shaped hole, with other fruit-shaped holes beside it

    Fruit 2 lessons

    Chunky apple, banana and strawberry pieces fit fruit-shaped holes, like a wooden puzzle. Then grapes join them.

  • A cow in its hole, a pig dropping into the pig-shaped hole, and a cat waiting on the banana boat

    Animals 2 lessons

    A cow, a pig and a cat each say hello in their own sound (“Moo!”, “Oink oink!”, “Meow!”) before finding their animal-shaped holes. Then the dog and the duck join the farm.

  • A car in its hole, a sailboat on its way to the boat-shaped hole, and an airplane waiting

    Vehicles 2 lessons

    A car, a boat and an airplane (“Beep beep!”, “Toot toot!”, “Zoom!”) drive, sail and fly into their holes. Then the train joins them (“Choo choo!”).

  • A fish in its hole, a crab dropping into the crab-shaped hole, and a starfish waiting

    Sea friends 2 lessons

    A fish, a crab and a starfish swim home to their own shaped holes. Then a wiggly octopus joins them.

  • Pink numbers 1, 2 and 3 on the banana boat above number-shaped holes

    Numbers 1 lesson

    Big pink numbers 1, 2 and 3 drop into number-shaped holes as the voice says each one.

  • Boats carrying three, four and five rubber ducks docking at their matching numbers

    Counting ducks 2 lessons

    Little boats carrying rubber ducks dock at the matching number: count to 3, then count to 5. The voice counts each duck as it hops (“One! Two! Three!”), then says the total (“Three ducks!”).

  • The beach Playground: a sparkling sun, a raining cloud, number blocks, a beach ball, a rubber duck and a puff of sand

    Playground

    A beach sandbox with musical number blocks, a beach ball, rolling waves and a rubber duck that keeps growing as you play: line the blocks up 1 to 5 or stack them, let the shark get the beach ball, or drop a block in the pool for the shark to kick back out. Tap the sun to make it sparkle, tap a cloud to make it rain, and tap the sand for a puff of sand. And there are secrets for curious fingers in the palm trees and the sun.
