Welcome to the World of Friendrot.
Friendrot started as a side-hustle.
I'd watch my kids on their iPads โ endless brainrot, ads everywhere, apps I wasn't comfortable with them playing. So I started building what I wished existed. Something fun. Something safe. Something they'd actually learn from. A timeless app stocked with quality lessons & classic games I grew up playing.
But kids don't care about "MathPlus Pro" or whatever. It needed a cool name. Friendrot. 8-year-olds get it instantly. It also needed a draw. Avatars. So I made 1,000 of them, gave them names, and built a shop around them. Then I built math and language games to unlock them. Kids love it.
I kept building โ safe chat, head-to-head, more games, more lessons. Friendrot stopped being an app and became a world. A world that parents don't worry about. A world where they end up playing too.

25 hand-crafted math and language games
Built for ages 6โ12 (Grades 1โ6) โ though plenty of parents get hooked too. Every game scales with difficulty, so a Grade 1 and a Grade 6 kid can play the same game at the right level.
10 head-to-head games
Chess, checkers, Connect 4 and more โ played live between friends. No public lobbies, no random matchmaking. Just kids playing kids they already know.
Rewards Kids Care About
This is why kids come back.
1,000+ collectibles across 7 rarity tiers. Kids trade rare avatars with friends, flex their collection at school, and hunt for the ones they're missing โ all fueled by GoldRot earned from math, language and multi-player games. Parents and teachers love that the collecting IS the practice loop.
Chat, done right
Kids want to talk to their friends. Pretending they don't isn't safety โ it's denial. So we built a chat parents can actually feel good about.

How it works
Safe by design
We're parents building for our own kids โ every safety call starts there.
Safe chat
Text only โ no images, no links, no attachments. 280-character limit per message. Friends only. Parents can turn chat off from the dashboard with one click, and a built-in profanity filter catches inappropriate words automatically.
No strangers
No user directory, no random matchmaking, no suggested friends. Kids only ever interact with friends a parent personally approved. Parents can turn on a 4-digit friend code as an extra gate, so even knowing a username isn't enough to send a request.
You're in control
Every friend request needs a parent's approval โ every time, on both sides. Parents manage profiles, chat, and friend codes from one dashboard. Friend requests cap and auto-expire.
Built for kids
Kids never have accounts of their own โ no emails, no passwords, no personal data collected. The avatar is their identity here, never a photo. No ads. No in-app purchases. Ever.
Our promise
All About GoldRot
Friendrot's in-app currency โ kids earn it by playing games and spend it on collectible avatars in the shop.
Purely for motivation. Kids love chasing it. Grown-ups love that nothing in Friendrot costs real money โ no in-app purchases, no "boost" packs, no loot boxes. Not now, not ever.
Works on every device
Phones, tablets, Chromebooks, desktops โ anything with a modern browser. Nothing to install. Kids pick up where they left off on whatever's nearby.
Questions
How does it work?
One parent signs in with Google, creates a profile for each kid, and they're playing. Kids never have accounts or passwords of their own โ you stay in control from your dashboard.
Is it safe?
No ads, no in-app purchases, no kid accounts, no public directory. Every friend connection requires your parent PIN on both sides. Chat can be disabled entirely. Full breakdown is in the Safe by design section above.
Why only Google sign-in?
We don't store passwords. We don't want your kid's email address. Google handles identity, we handle games โ one click, done. We'll add more sign-in options as we grow. For now, this keeps things simple and safe.
What ages?
Ages 6 to 12 (Grades 1 to 6). Games scale with skill level โ younger and older kids play at different levels. Most families get multiple years of use from one subscription.

Yes. Your dashboard has a one-click cancel. No emails to support, no retention offers. Cancel before day 7 and you're never charged.
What if my kid doesn't like it?
