Run the Commons — a park where a few hundred little people arrive, queue, and decide. Pull a lever (price · staff · ride speed · game odds · gate fee), predict what happens, then watch. Two meters always watch back: Profit and Fairness. The maths IS the game.

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.

What's inside
Learning goal
Run the Commons — a park where a few hundred little people arrive, queue, and decide. Pull a lever (price · staff · ride speed · game odds · gate fee), predict what happens, then watch. Two meters always watch back: Profit and Fairness. The maths IS the game.

16 curriculum-aligned kits × 25 questions = 400 questions per app, mapped to recognized standards.
On-device AI mentor
FoundationModels-powered hints, feedback, and adaptive difficulty — all running locally.
How CrowdForge handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ No ads, no in-app purchases — you pay once
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ Parental controls + session limits + content filters built in
CrowdForge runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
