The PlayShifu Story

In 2016, two old friends and new fathers started building on a dream to make screen time more meaningful and learning more empathetic for Gen Alpha. That’s how PlayShifu was born!

We’re a small group with big goals. We go to work every day having dreamed of space explorers, gadgets that walk, and bugs that talk. We breathe life into those dreams so children can learn through owls that solve mysteries, interplanetary victories, and dinosaurian histories.

And the two friends who started it all? They’re ecstatic knowing that more than one million children around the world enjoy their toys!
