✨ How It Works

From sign-up to story-worthy win, in six steps

No downloads, no controllers — just a webcam and a child ready to move.

1

Sign up free

Create an account with just a name, email, and password — no credit card required. You immediately get 7 days of full access to every game.

2

Pick a game

Choose from six gesture-based games — each one designed around a different skill, from coordination to emotional recognition to letter tracing.

3

Turn on your camera

Your browser will ask for camera permission — byondthewords can't access it without your approval. Hand-tracking runs right in the browser; we never record or store video.

4

Play with movement

Hands become the controller — reach, swipe, and point to play. No mouse or keyboard needed, which makes play feel natural and physical.

5

Earn stars & level up

After every round, a results screen shows a star rating and score, with a level-up popup along the way — so progress always feels visible and rewarding.

6

Capture the moment

Reach a 3-star score or level 6, and a photo is captured and saved privately to your account's Living Moments gallery — a nice way to see progress over time.
