This fun monster maker game introduces kids to the basic science of DNA in an easy pure-play style. Learn how to build creatures by completing a series of simple DNA puzzles. Get creative and experiment with quirky mutations of different body parts by altering genes. Have fun playing with your monsters and change their form in real-time while they dance, skate, eat or sleep!

CREATE & MUTATE

Start with a basic unformed figure and complete the gene puzzles to give it a fully grown torso, face and limbs. Then tweak the genes or simply tap on the monster's body parts to trigger mutations. Observe how the tiniest change in the DNA code can lead to unimaginable new characteristics.

Watch your monster turn from yellow to red, grow pink hair and 6 eyes, have its ears transform into fish fins and its belly pop out and crave for food. Best of all, these are emotional creatures with vivid personalities, so prepare to be surprised!

PLAY & EXPLORE

Once you complete all 6 body parts it's time to play with your monsters and have fun! Feed them, tweak them, push them, squeeze them, make them jump or slide! Go for a skateboard ride with them! Get to know their quirks. Do they enjoy being chased by an elephant, being hypnotized or listen to music? Are they afraid of the dark? Discover what makes them sneeze, laugh or cry, how their voice changes after mutating their faces!

Try, experiment and evolve! Why stick with 2 short legs when 4 tall ones are so much better for flamenco dancing? Keep transforming and observe which forms look better in various activities! Take photos and share your genetic blueprints so friends can clone your beasts. Build your personal library of ready-to-play, cute little monsters. Science has never been so fun!

Editors’ Notes

Genetics can be tricky to explain, even for us so-called adults. DNA Play gently introduces kids to the concepts of cellular building blocks, letting youngsters create goofy monsters and mutate them on the fly by swapping around their genetic code. It’s great simply as a charming, colorful puzzle game to entertain the little ones, but has the added bonus of educating and enlightening budding young scientists.

It’s really strange like all the possibilities that they can look like but I love how once your finished,they bring in a disco ball or a chicken or something fun like that

Great app! Needs improvements..

Bought the app for my girlfriend’s daughter, 3 yr old who is on the spectrum and has anxiety so got this for us to do together when she wants to chill out and just play it for fun. The app caught my attention across all the “Mix & Match” games from the creativity and the mechanics. It’s very entertaining for myself and the kid. First, the price it’s not exactly what I expected, I thought I would get more. Especially deciding on which activity I get to do after I’ve built my little guy, I wanted more choice and so does the kid! It’s frustrating for both parties to have to wait to make them dance or feed them! Secondly, on iPhone X it’s difficult at the start of creating a new alien. Actually getting ahold of the matching DNA is hard, you just end up swiping the app up and takes the fun out of the beginning of the game. If there was any way to improve the app specifically for the newer iPhone generations that would be greatly appreciated and encourage me to buy more of these games! This is the first I’ve bought from this developer but definitely not the last! The only thing I fear is the poor choice of mechanics for my phone which makes me weary. Otherwise, great app, beautiful creativity and loads of fun for toddlers and adults!
