When we began, Pok Pok was just a few of us. A tiny team of really passionate individuals determined to reinvent the way kids play and learn using technology. Today, our team is actually still pretty small, but we now have the power of thousands of families who play with Pok Pok Playroom in our corner, inspiring everything we make for kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2021 has been a very wild year for pretty much everyone, and for us it was especially huge. Here are a few of our favourite moments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 20th, 2021 we launched Pok Pok Playroom<\/a> on the App Store. It was a day we\u2019ll never forget, and we talked a lot about what it meant to us in this launch day blog<\/a> if you want a refresher. It\u2019s all still true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only three weeks after it\u2019s release, Pok Pok Playroom won an Apple Design Award<\/a>! Being recognized for excellence in design from people who we consider to be some of the world\u2019s best designers is an accomplishment we\u2019ll cherish forever. Even Esther and Mathijs\u2019 kids were excited!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June we released our first big update \u2014 House! It\u2019s come to be one of the most popular toys in the Playroom, and we attribute that to one thing: children\u2019s imaginations. House is a toy that gives kids the ultimate creative freedom to build worlds, characters, circumstances and solutions. Seeing them in action is magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the following months we welcomed a huge update to Silly Blocks<\/a> and Busy Board<\/a>, as well as added Forest<\/a>, the first Pok Pok toy that uses artificial intelligence to spark creative thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
