FireflyTots

A dark meadow for the room's big screen. When the room is gentle, fireflies come out one by one; when it gets busy, they wait in the grass. The device only notices how loud it is, right now, and keeps nothing. No meter, no warnings, nobody is ever told off. Ages 3–5, a whole room together.

▶ Play it now

Built for sittings of about 10 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.
