FAQs
Möbi and Möbi Kids
Möbi….It has no zeros?
That’s right. We left zeros out of Möbi as we wanted to encourage people to get creative with
numbers. When we play tested the game, people either got stuck with zeros or thought they
made the game too easy.
This isn’t to say that equations can’t equal zero though! For example, your equation could read:
5-3-2=10-10 or 5-5=6-6
*Möbi Kids has wild tiles that can be zero!
Why are there more addition/subtraction tiles than multiplication/division tiles?
When we tested Möbi, most players did not choose to use the multiplication/division tiles so
we figured out just how many to get in there to encourage the use of them, but not overwhelm
players in speedy game with tiles that they didn’t gravitate to naturally.
Hint: once you start using them, the game opens up so much!
What is the difference between Möbi and Möbi Kids?
There are a number of differences between the two games:
Möbi has tiles (162) vs Möbi Kids (86).
Möbi has multiplication/division tiles, Möbi Kids does not.
Möbi gameplay: fast, frantic, fun Möbi Kids gameplay: gentle, collaborative
Möbi Kids comes with an activity booklet inside that provides a step-by-step progression
towards making equations.
Möbi is for ages 8-108, Möbi Kids is for ages 4+

Bllöx
What does FSC mean?
We are happy to say that our wood blocks are made out of sustainable wood. FSC stands for
Forest Stewardship Council. We can track our wood back to its source!
What is the Wacky Pack?
The Wacky Pack is a set of card that come included with the game. These cards offer wacky and
creative ways to play Bllöx. For example, the card would prompt you to build your stack while hopping on one foot, or while only using pinky fingers, building on a body part or patty your
head. It all gets a little crazy when you open the Wacky Pack!
Ultimö
It is such a simple game. Can I master it quickly?
The concept behind Ultimö is super simple, you’re right! But…your strategy will always depend
on what your opponent does on their turn, so the game is always changing. Don’t forget, there
are a million and one ways to arrange the dice to start the game. Each orientation provides a
new challenge and two games are never the same!
Still think it’s easy? Try switching the rules….so instead of wanting the gold die, try NOT to get
the gold die!
Stellö
Is Stellö kind of like dominoes but with color?
Yes, think dominoes but with a colorful, geometric twist! This twist in addition to the 5 ways to
play, make Stellö a great game for all ages and all levels of competitiveness!
How many ways are there to play?
We offer 5 ways to play in the instruction book, but there are countless other ways to play! If
you love playing Stellö in a way we haven’t described, please let us know! We’d love to hear
from you!
Why can yellow tiles be wild or blocks?
We wanted to give Stellö players as much freedom as possible. If you use the yellow tiles as
wild tiles, the game is a little easier. If you use the wild tiles as block tiles, the strategy in the
game picks up!
Zippee
What is it???
Haha! Great question! Zippee is a multi-sensory silicone activity toy for 6months+.
How did you come up with this idea?
Zippee was inspired by our daughter Kate who loved pulling shoelaces and chewing on the soles
of our shoes! Fun, but pretty gross! So we poked holes in the top of a Mason jar and put in
shoelaces and both Kate and our son Noah loved playing with it. So….we teamed up with
doctors and therapists to create an alternative that was clean, safe and playfully therapeutic.
What are the developmental benefits of Zippee?
- Designed to encourage and support fine and gross motor skills, sensory exploration,
midline play and cause and effect
- Made with bright colors help stimulate baby’s developing vision
- Flexible and soft teething edges, textured cords and easy to hold grips
- Can hear and feel the various sounds and vibrations the cords make as they are pulled
side to side
Is Zippee made out of silicone?

How can I wash Zippee?

It can be!!! Totally safe for the tub!
Is Zippee safety tested?
Yes. Zippee has passed all the stringent North American standards for safety!
Peeka
How did you come up with the idea for Peeka?
Peeka was inspired by our two little ones - Kate, who loves holding a mirror while we
change her diaper and Noah, who as a preemie required as much developmental play and
support as possible. When we looked at the mirrors on the market, we knew we could do
better. So we teamed up with doctors and therapists (and parents and babies) to make a
mirror that was safe, portable, multidimensional and packed with developmental play!
Is Peeka a tummy-time mirror?
One of the great things about Peeka is that it is multifunctional. At first, the idea for Peeka was
to make a safe, small mirror that our daughter could hold when we were changing her diaper.
She loved it and it entertained her! Great for baby…great for the diaper changer! Then, we
decided to add a dimension by allowing the rail to flip back…making it perfect for tummy-time!
