How TempCheck works
A little check-in
TempCheck is about attunement — being tuned in to feelings, your own and other people's. In Temp-Check you can check in on your own (notice how you feel and where it shows up in your body), or take turns with a friend on one device: each of you says how you feel and guesses how the other feels, then you see how well you read each other. A missed read isn't a fail — it's a good reason to talk.
Read the signals
The Mood Map builds a real skill: reading the two things your body signals — the energy (revved-up or slowed-down) and whether it feels pleasant or unpleasant — and placing them on a four-corner map. Every corner is okay to be in. Naming where you are is the whole point.
No timer, no losing, no wrong feelings
There is no clock and no score. All feelings are okay — there is no "right" temp. A skip is always a real choice. In the concept rounds a hint appears whenever you get stuck, and a wrong turn is met gently — mistakes are how this works.
Everything stays private
It all happens on this device. No accounts, no sign-in, no ads, no tracking. Your progress and every check-in live in this browser's local storage and are never sent or shared anywhere — not even between two people playing Together (that check-in happens right on the one screen). Clear your browser data and it's gone.
One of two apps that can keep a check-in
Most Spark & Anvil feelings games are a map, not a mood log — you place a feeling to learn about it, and the moment you move on it's gone; nothing about how you feel is ever kept (that's the design rule we call map-not-log). TempCheck's “Just me” (and WellnessForge's Calm Corner check-in, under the same rule) can keep a check-in — and only if you tap Keep it for a week. Kept check-ins stay on this device only, for seven days at most, behind a Show my week tap so whoever picks up a shared tablet doesn't see them, and Clear my check-ins erases them. The default is to keep nothing.
One language of feeling
The Mood Map's four corners are weather corners — Kite (bright & breezy), Nestle (warm & still), Gust (stormy & windy), and Drizzle (grey & quiet) — the same names you meet in our other feelings games like SkyPals and AffectForge, so the map of pleasantness and energy reads the same everywhere. The check-in, How big? and the Mood Map use the same nine feelings (Excited, Proud, Okay, Tired, Worried, Sad, Angry, Lonely, Embarrassed), and the Mood Map shows which corner each one lives in.
