Rolling Seeds: A Phygital Educational Game to Alleviate Tablet Learning Solitude, Launching February 5

Rolling Seeds, affectionately known as “Koropon,” is a new phygital educational game designed to address the common parental concern of children becoming isolated in the digital world of tablet learning. Scheduled for release on February 5, 2026, Rolling Seeds is a product for children aged 3 to 8 and their families, conceptualized around “learning through touch” that doesn’t solely rely on tablets. It merges the enjoyment of digital screens with the warmth of analog touch, proposing a new form of living room learning where families can engage in lively conversation while learning together.

Enhancing Tablet Learning with Hands-On Experience

Rolling Seeds incorporates a mechanism where children physically select coin-shaped “Seeds” and place them into a dedicated pot, prompting an immediate reaction from the tablet app. This approach moves beyond passive screen viewing, encouraging children’s concentration and comprehension through real-world experiences of touching, moving, and thinking.

Learning English, Numbers, and Puzzles Through Play

The product includes a variety of educational content, such as alphabets, English words, calculations, and logic puzzles. Through repeated play in a game-like format, children can naturally develop an affinity for English, a sense of numbers, and logical thinking skills. Its adaptability to different ages and skill levels ensures long-term usability as children grow.

Family-Friendly Learning Time

Rolling Seeds is designed for parents and siblings to play together. Whether collaborating or competing, conversations naturally arise, transforming learning into shared family time. This facilitates high-quality communication even within busy daily routines.

Development Background

With the increasing adoption of tablet learning in recent years, there has been a growing demand from parents for more tangible learning experiences and solutions to maintain children’s concentration beyond screen-only interactions. Rolling Seeds responds to these needs by offering a new option in phygital education, seamlessly integrating play and learning.

Future Outlook

AJAX Corporation plans to introduce Rolling Seeds not only to general households but also to preschools, educational facilities, and event exhibitions. The company aims to expand the “learning through play” experience to more families through Rolling Seeds.
