Tryazon Pixicade Pets Party

 For months, my kids and I have been excited to try out the new Pixicade Pets app and kit. They love the original Pixicade! 

The wide range of colors and fun learn-to-draw book are so helpful, but the real value is in the app itself. While it is a free app, the kit gives you codes to unlock the creative component of the game, to draw your own virtual pets! There are so many layers to the game (feeding, playing with your pets, traveling to your friend's worlds, etc) so the kids will play for a lot longer than I expected. 

We really appreciate how hands-on the creators of Pixicade are. Martin hosted a Facebook Live video training, to show us how to play the game and introduce it to our friends. 

We did have an issue with the app- it didn't work well on my phone at first, and the camera was upside down when we tried to play it on the kids' kindles. The kindle issue is still being worked on, but the Pixicade developers have been very helpful through customer support to address this problem with us. The app is working well on my phone, since the recent update. 

For the Tryazon party, we showed off the game to our homeschool group. Some of them were familiar with the original Pixicade game from our last Tryazon-Pixicade party. We gave out the coupon codes and they were thankful for that! Hope to see a lot of the kids' friends joining us in this game!
