From the Crew Field Journal
Meet the creatures
Each one loves a different kind of maths.
every weekCrew Field Journal
Safe for every child who plays
Built for classrooms first. No ads, and no pressure to pay.
Teachers control every student login
No ads, no purchase prompts
Children never see an advert or a request to pay. Anything commercial is for adults only.
Kind by design
Children free creatures instead of fighting them. Losing is never game over.
The data we keep
We store each child’s username, grade, maths answers, time taken per answer, and game progress. These records are kept in Supabase PostgreSQL in AWS’s Tokyo region (ap-northeast-1). Schools can request deletion by emailing starborn@playpowerlabs.com.
Built to respect India's data law
We’re designing Star·Born to align with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, including its extra care for children’s data.
Built for how Indian schools teach maths
NCF-SE asks for play in maths, most of all in the Middle Stage.
