  1. 1 / 5

    The holidays begin

    This summer, you are staying in Ker Lyman, at Grandma and Grandpa’s. A granite cottage, blue shutters, hydrangeas, and the sea at the end of the garden.

  2. 2 / 5

    The lighthouse has gone dark

    Grandpa used to keep it. Since he retired, the lamp no longer turns. And from the open sea, a grey mist is drifting towards the coast.

  3. 3 / 5

    Everything gets tangled

    Wherever it goes, colours fade, numbers get muddled and the letters on the signs swap places.

  4. 4 / 5

    “Just Breton weather!”

    The grown-ups shrug. They don’t see a thing. They are kind, just a little absent-minded.

  5. 5 / 5

    But you can see it

    You notice what the mist has mixed up, and you know how to put it right. Every success brings a little colour back to the world.

Learning by playing

No worksheets here.

You count the eggs because Grandma is making crêpes, and you read the clock because the tide won’t wait. Every challenge has a reason to exist in the world.

  1. One world, three levels

    The game starts at the level you choose, for ages 6 to 9, then adapts skill by skill to keep success around 80%: hard enough to progress, easy enough to stay motivated.

  2. Never a game over

    One mistake, and the instruction is said another way. Two, and a visual aid appears. Three, and Grandpa shows how it’s done. The child always makes the final move.

  3. Handle first, then abstract

    First you count eggs you can see, then boxes of ten, then the number alone. That is the approach of the 2025 French curriculum.

Try the egg quest

GrandmaI need 10 eggs for the crêpes. You found 8. How many are missing?

Between two quests

Holiday life.

No challenge, no timer: just the joy of being there. And nothing is lost while you are away.

Puppy or kitten?

  • Your companion

    Adopted at Loïc’s farm and named by your child. It learns to sniff things out, dig and carry messages, and it is always happy to see you again.

  • Grandpa’s vegetable patch

    Sow, water, harvest. It grows between two sessions, and ends up in Grandma’s recipes.

  • Rock-pooling

    At low tide, you turn a rock over, find a crab… and put the rock back, just as Grandpa showed you.

  • Grandma’s crêpes

    Whisk, pour, flip the crêpe. Well-made dishes give you a boost in battles.

  • The attic bedroom

    Decorate, tidy up, display your shells and feathers. A corner of the world all your own.

  • The camera

    Photograph birds, the otter, the distant lighthouses, and fill up your nature notebook.

The Misted

Nobody gets hurt: you chase the mist away.

Gulls, crabs, rabbits: the local animals are covered in grey mist. Battles are turn-based, and the challenges only use what the child already masters.

  • Right and in time

    Élan: a powerful attack, and the Élan gauge fills up.

  • Right, but a bit slow

    A normal attack. Nothing is lost.

  • A mistake

    A normal attack too, and the right answer is shown.

  • Élan at full

    The Lighthouse Beam clears all the mist at once.

What is 4 + 7?

The timer adapts to the child, and parents can turn it off.

Ten episodes, a whole summer

From Grandma’s house to the island offshore.

From mid-July to the end of August, your child explores a land inspired by the coast of Ploemeur, in Brittany. Each episode has its subject, its places, its boss, and its share of the mystery: where does the mist come from?

Eight shells, eight verses

Each boss you free leaves a shell engraved with a verse. The last verse will be written by your child.

For parents

A game that knows when to stop.

We designed Ker Lyman the way we would like our own children’s games to be designed: no traps, no pressure, and a real end to the day.

A natural end to the day

A game day lasts 15 to 20 minutes. At sunset, Grandma calls everyone in for dinner and the game saves with a little recap. It is the right moment to put the screen away, without frustration.

What you will never find

  • Daily streaks to keep up
  • Rewards that expire
  • Loot boxes and lucky draws
  • Advertising
  • In-game purchases
  • Third-party trackers

If your child takes a three-week break, their puppy is not hungry: it is simply delighted to see them again. The vegetable patch has waited patiently.

Data stays at home

Your child’s profile stays on the device by default, with no child account. Cloud saves go through a parent account, with your explicit consent.

Built on the 2025 curriculum

The yearly milestones of the French “cycle 2” (ages 6 to 9): handle then abstract, early fractions, more mental maths, money from age 7, and spaced repetition to anchor what has been learned.

  • Numbers
  • Mental maths
  • Fractions
  • Money
  • Measures
  • Time
  • Geometry

Made for young readers

The Andika font, optional school cursive, adjustable text size, high contrast. Instructions and dialogue are always written large, and no information is carried by colour alone.

Grandma is making crêpes for tea.

The parent area

Protected by a small grown-up sum, it shows the skills learned and the time played. You set the session length and the battle timer, and you can target a school topic.

Questions

What parents ask.

Is the game in English?

Not yet. Ker Lyman is currently in French and follows the French school curriculum for ages 6 to 9. It suits French-speaking families and children learning in French.

What age is it for?

Ages 6 to 9. You choose the starting level, then the game adapts on its own, skill by skill.

My child can’t read very well yet. Can they play?

Yes, with a little help. All text is large and set in the Andika font, and the game adapts to their reading level. Younger children happily play next to an adult who reads the instructions with them.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The game opens in the browser. You can add it to your home screen to play offline.

How long will my child play?

A game day lasts 15 to 20 minutes and ends at sunset. In the parent area, you can set a maximum time, or make the end of the day mandatory.

Are the battles violent?

No. The Misted are animals covered in mist: you don’t hurt them, you chase the mist away and they leave in full colour. The battle timer adapts to the child and can be turned off.

What data is collected?

None by default: the profile stays on the device, with no child account and no trackers. Syncing across devices goes through a parent account and your explicit consent.

How much does it cost?

Episode 1 is free, with no account or credit card. The full game is a one-time purchase: all 10 episodes, all 3 levels, several profiles and syncing. No subscription.

The sun is setting over Ker Lyman.

Grandma is calling everyone in for dinner. Tomorrow, the mist will have pulled back a little further.
