Dr. Panda’s Home | new kids app by TribePlay

✔ iPad + iPhone ✔ Android ✔ Kindle Fire | kids app for ages 3-5 yrs.

Kids have already visited Dr. Panda at all different kinds of places such as, the Airport, Daycare or Restaurant etc. Now it is time to visit him in his new kids app: Dr. Panda’s Home, where they can find and carry out various of interesting activities and housekeeping tasks by helping his housemates.

We took a long look around his home and are now ready to tell you all about it and what else might interest you about Dr. Panda.

Dr. Panda and friends

For the first time ever, Dr. Panda and his friends appear as 3D characters. However, this kind of makes the animals heads look a little angular.

With over 20 mini-games

The game has one big strength and one small weakness. The big strength is the many mini-games all about the subjects “housekeeping, the everyday life and hygiene. Here a small overview of some of the games:

* cleaning teeth, windows and toilets
* sorting, washing and hanging up the laundry,
* mopping the floor
* sorting and clearing away the shopping
* emptying the dishwasher
* setting the alarm clock and getting breakfast ready
* tidying the rooms and cleaning and feeding the pets

… and the weaknesses?

The games have been integrated in Dr. Panda’s house. We really like the design of the mini-games, but the actual rooms look a little sparse.

The main weakness is the access to the mini games. All activities can currently only be started via a present figure or a to-do list, which is shown at the top of the display. The tests however have shown, that children tend to want to start the games directly over the relevant objects – why else would you want to be able to explore the house freely. This way, they keep on tapping on the objects like the stove, dishwasher, toilet and the rabbit hutch.

In our YouTube trailer you can see a small part of the mini games  – there is more to discover though. At the end, we’re showing you the rewards area, where kids can get some pocket money for their good work, which they can invest in some new objects.

Dr. Panda’s Home | kids app rating

Little Dr. Panda fans will be excited about the new range of activities. Interestingly enough is the fact that Dr. Panda himself is not so much present in this game. His friends are definitely the centre of attention here, as you will also notice on the app icon. No surprise really though, as there are so many Dr. Panda apps available, that it becomes difficult to tell them apart on the App Store, let alone on your home screen.

Pro’s
(+) many various games
(+) every day tasks and activities which are absolutely educational

neutral
new graphic-mix with many 3D objects

Con’s
(-) many mini-games which you may know from the previous apps
(-) no access to the mini games via the objects themselves
