Wizdy is a Boston-based start-up uniting game developers, designers and doctors to build a suite of educational apps for kids.
In our first app, Wizdy Pets, kids ages 6-11 adopt their very own Wizdy Pet - an adorable fire-breathing pet who wants to blow fire like all its friends, but can’t because it has asthma. It’s up to kids to care for their pet, managing their pet’s asthma, in the same way, they manage their own asthma, rescuing mini-pets and collecting badges along the way.
