For Parents

What is it?

Your child helps Bhagvan Raam bring Maa Sita back to Ayodhya by answering riddles and puzzles. Every question has four possible answers, and a short “Did you know?” fact follows each right answer.

How a game works

• A game has up to 25 questions, chosen at random and never repeated.
• A right answer lets the child move on. A wrong answer puts out one of five diyas (lives), and the child can try another answer.
• If all five diyas go out, the game is over and can be started again.
• Friendly characters from the Ramayan cheer your child on after 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 right answers.

Boons: little helpers

Each game gives three helpers, and each can be used once: a brand-new question, a small clue, or one diya back. They give a child a way to get unstuck without giving up.

What children may enjoy and learn

• Reading carefully and thinking things through.
• Patience and trying again after a wrong answer.
• Getting to know the names and stories of the Ramayan. Playing together and talking about the “Did you know?” facts works especially well.

Sound and pictures

The game has music and sound effects. When an answer is wrong, a playful villain picture appears with a laugh. If your child is sensitive to this, use the speaker button at the bottom left of the game screen to turn the music and sounds down or off.

Privacy

• The game asks for a first name only, so it can cheer your child on by name. The name is shown on the screen during the game and is not sent anywhere by the game.
• The name is held in the browser’s temporary memory for the visit and is forgotten when the tab is closed.
• The volume settings are saved in the browser on the device, so they are remembered next time.
• There are no accounts, purchases or ads in the game.
• The page loads its fonts from Google Fonts, so the browser contacts Google when a page opens.
