Idea

All the kids are on mobile now. Games are engaging. Parents want kids to be spending quality time learning on their devices. We leverage our 3+ years of tech to build an AR Livestreamed Educational Game World to fill this need. Think Animal Crossing+Sesame Street!

Current Status

With our previous products we have had 6 week - 40 % retention.
With Tracks (educational product) we are launching in December and plan to monetize through weekly and monthly subscriptions. The iOS version and cross platform game are now in a private alpha stage and we are pulling on a private beta group of 1000 in the next 4 weeks. Android version is 3 months from delivery.

Market

We are focusing on the 8-13 year old demographic with parents being the paying customer/persona we aim to onboard.

A $320B online education market + the mobile gaming market and all targeted through monetization by monthly subscription.

Problem or Opportunity

All the kids are on mobile now. Games are engaging. Parents want kids to be spending quality time learning on their devices. Covid has changed our understanding of online usage. Video chat and livestreaming are common place now. The online educational market is a $320B opportunity.

We leverage our 3+ years of tech to build an AR Livestreamed Educational Game World to fill this need. Think Animal Crossing+Masterclass Live+Sesame Street!

Solution (product or service)

Leveraging our 3 years of video chat, embedded games, backend architecture and bootstrapped experience. We have taken the last 8 months to build up this new and unique educational platform that will engage its 8-13 year old audience through constructive gameplay, exciting interactive livestreams with live quiz'ing and medium to long form game loops. That coupled with the solid market potential and mass adoption of online learning - Tesuji is at the forefront of this new education through game-worlds zeitgeist.
