How Kidorizon works

Kids already use AI tools for answers. Kidorizon helps them practice the skill that matters next: checking what they're told, with activities for every grade from Pre-K to Grade 12.

  1. Step 1: A daily 5-minute activity

    One short, screen-friendly challenge a day, matched to your grade band from Pre-K to Grade 12. Small enough to fit between snack and homework, steady enough to become a habit.

  2. Step 2: Catch the AI

    Kids read an AI-style answer that hides one subtle mistake, then hunt it down and learn why it was wrong. Mistakes become a game, not a worry.

  3. Step 3: Think First, Then Check

    A simple routine for any answer, from a chatbot, a video, or a friend: pause, form your own guess, then check it with a trusted source.

  4. Step 4: A parent progress view

    See what your child practiced and how it's going, in plain language, with practice progress you can talk about together at dinner.

Questions parents ask

Who is Kidorizon for?

Kidorizon covers Pre-K through Grade 12 in five grade bands: Pre-K–K, Grades 1–2, Grades 3–5, Grades 6–8, and Grades 9–12. Pick your grade and the puzzles, daily challenge, and printables match it. It is for kids and the parents who want to help them think carefully about what they read, watch, and hear, including AI answers.

How do the grade bands differ?

Pre-K–K uses pictures, shapes, and counting with very short words, big buttons, and a “Read to me” button. Grades 1–2 add simple patterns and skip counting. Grades 3–5 are the original puzzles. Grades 6–8 bring in algebraic patterns, spatial thinking, and evaluating arguments. Grades 9–12 add logic, probability, and AI literacy such as spotting made-up claims, checking sources, and noticing bias. You can switch bands any time, and your pick is remembered in this browser only.

Is there really AI in the sample puzzles?

No. The “AI answers” in the puzzles are written by people to look like AI answers, each with one deliberate mistake. No chatbot talks to your child, and nothing you click is sent anywhere.

What does my child actually practice?

Noticing mistakes, explaining why something is wrong, and following a Think First, Then Check routine. It builds thinking skills through short, regular practice. We show practice progress, not test scores or labels.

Will this raise my child's IQ, or help with gifted programs?

We don't make those claims. Kidorizon is a practice tool, not a diagnosis, an assessment, or a path to any school admission. We believe regular practice helps kids get more careful and confident with information, and that's the promise.

Is AI bad for kids?

We don't say that. AI tools can be genuinely useful, and kids will keep meeting them. We simply think the habit of questioning and checking answers is worth practicing early.

What information do you collect?

Only a parent or guardian's email address if you join the waitlist. We collect no child names, ages, photos, or accounts. Answers to the free games and daily puzzle stay in your browser. See the privacy page for details.

When can I buy Kidorizon Plus, and what will it cost?

Plus is coming soon, and we don't have a launch date yet. The planned price is $9.99/month or $79/year, with a 7-day free trial. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when it opens. Planned prices may change before launch.

What else is free?

A growing set of free activities: all the Catch the AI puzzles, Think First, Then Check, a Daily Puzzle that is the same for every family each day, and printable worksheets with answer keys. All free, with no signup. Plus is planned to add more on top.

Do I need an account to try the puzzles?

No. Scroll up to “Catch the AI” and play, or visit the free activities page for more games, a daily puzzle, and printable sheets. None of it needs an account.
