Thanks for visiting. As parents ourselves, we know how precious your time is, so we’ll keep this brief and just tell you what you really need to know:
Pora Ora is a collection of high-quality educational games and apps, for use in the home and the classroom. The games are connected by a shared cast of collectible pets, known as Pora Pals, which your child can collect, care for and play with, across all of Pora Ora.
At its heart is Pora Pal HQ, a downloadable desktop game world which brings all of the great features of Pora Ora together. Here, children can customise their home, explore worlds, collect and care for their Pora Pals, play educational games, and interact with their friends and classmates. Alongside Pora Pal HQ, we have a range of educational apps for mobile and tablet - with many more on the way.
Pora Ora has been built with learning at its heart. Every game focuses on a specific topic such as times tables, spelling, flags of the world or angles. All achievements and collectibles are earned through educational performance, encouraging your child to persist with their learning journey. We have worked with schools all over the world to make sure we hit the right educational note for you and your child.
Yes. Pora Ora is a community for kids, centred around fun and learning. As this may be your child’s first experience of online social interaction, we take their safety very seriously. Think of it as an online community, with training wheels.
We offer restricted social features, which are carefully monitored and moderated. We use powerful content filtering tools which guard against inappropriate chat and behaviour and our team of moderators are on hand to ensure your child’s experience is a care-free one.
All of our games and apps are free to download and try.
The full version of Pora Pal HQ - the downloadable desktop game world at the heart of Pora Ora - is available as a low-cost one-off purchase. This allows unlimited access for your child and includes all future upgrades at no extra cost.
Our mobile apps contain in-app options to unlock the full version. Purchases are protected by our Parental Gate, ensuring your child does not purchase without your permission.
None of our games or apps contain third-party advertising.
Hopefully, this has covered everything, but if there’s something we’ve missed, do contact us and let us know.
Cheers! The Pora Ora Team
