Learning through play
We explore ways of making mathematics, language and other subjects part of the gameplay itself, instead of repeatedly interrupting the game with exercises.
Independent game studio
Games for curious minds.
We’re a small independent game studio exploring how learning, thinking and problem-solving can become part of genuinely enjoyable games.

Our direction
Learning is part of the play.

What we’re interested in
Designing from curiosity outward.
Game design comes first. We look for mechanics that invite players to notice patterns, try ideas and understand a little more each time they play.
Games that encourage thinking
Logic, experimentation, strategy, systems and problem-solving are recurring interests.
Games children genuinely want to play
Educational value matters, but the experience still needs to work as a game.
Our approach
Put understanding into play.
We’re interested in games where mathematics, vocabulary, science or logic become tools the player uses—not questions that repeatedly stop the gameplay.

Our interests
Subjects become materials.
Not topics placed on top of a game, but ideas that can shape its rules, choices and sense of discovery.
Mathematics
Number sense, arithmetic, multiplication, division and mathematical reasoning.
Language
Vocabulary, spelling, reading, word recognition and contextual learning.
Science & Systems
Ecosystems, cause and effect, simulations and interacting systems.
Logic & Problem Solving
Puzzles, strategy and experiments where understanding improves performance.
Still growing
We’re experimenting.
LarixGames is still young. We’re prototyping different ways to combine game design and learning, testing ideas and discovering what works.
