StoryPals
Listen, figure out the story, then tell it back — story-sense with Webb the spider and friends, all spoken, for ages 3–5.
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.
#B57BC9 Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
StoryPals is a little band of animal friends who help you become a story detective — who, where, what's the problem, and how it's solved. Webb the spider is the hero; the cast are Webb's friends who each hold one part of a story. You listen, put it together, and tell it back in your own voice.
Webb
Retell the whole story (hero) — a spider who spins the story-web, telling it back part by part.
