About Zap and Roam
A creative drawing game for kids, built with care.
Why we built this
Zap and Roam started with a simple idea: what if screen time could be more creative, more shared, and more delightful?
We wanted to build something that brings kids together around a screen instead of isolating them. Something that sparks creativity through color and design, then rewards that creativity with an immediate, magical payoff — watching your own creation come to life.
The result is Zap and Roam: a game where kids color a robot on a tablet, tap ZAP!, and watch it beam down onto an animated world displayed on a TV. It's screen time that connects, creates, and celebrates.
Built with care
No accounts, no ads, no chat, no data collection. Kids play in a completely safe environment.
Every animation, color, and interaction is designed to delight and inspire young creators.
The entire project is open source. Parents and educators can inspect, modify, and self-host.
