We make tiny games that sharpen how you notice the world, so learning happens by accident.
April31 is a small game studio. We make short, playful games that train one real skill at a time, so you learn by noticing, not by studying. Small enough to fit in a pocket, curious, and made to be shared.
The loop: perceive, guess, sort, make, place
Each game follows one loop: notice something with your senses, put a name to it, then put it in order. Our games are also shown as a scrolling feed at april31.lol.

Got something to teach?
