How Mystira works
Pick a story together
Worlds from toddlers to teens, starting at 3 to 5.
Children lead
Every choice is theirs.
See who they are
How they choose, shown to you.
One story, many paths
Each choice opens a different path through the story.
The Circle
You sit up. Something is moving between the trees. A light. It pulses and drifts. It is calling to you.
Every eye is still on you.
What do you do?
- You jump up. "Do you see that? That light! What IS that? Come on, let's go look!"
- You see it. You say nothing. When the creatures lose interest in you, you slip away toward the light alone.
- You find the oldest face in the circle. You don't say anything. You just look at him, then at the trees. He nods, slowly, and stands.
- You scan the circle. "Who here knows this forest best?" One of them shifts slightly. You point at him. "You. That light is not right. Come with me."
Beneath the magic
What a choice shows
Each choice is noticed. Over months and years, the choices build a picture of who a child is. Children play; the science works invisibly.
A few of the things the stories notice at ages 3 to 5:
Understanding Others' Thoughts
Knowing that if someone was not there, they do not know what happened.
Fairness
Noticing when the fair thing is to give someone a little more.
Accepting Help
Knowing when they are stuck.
