A family game hub for Android TV

The TV is the playground, the phone is the controller

ZuiHub Kid is made for children about 2–10 years old and their families. Open a game on the TV, everyone picks up their own phone as a controller, and 1 to 8 people play together depending on the game.

Coming soon on Google Play and the App Store

How does it work?

No special controllers needed. The phones you already have become a controller for each player.

  • The TV is the screen

    The games run on Android TV or Google TV, so the whole family watches one big screen. Menus work with the TV remote or with a tap on the phone.

  • The phone is the controller

    Each player uses their own phone: press a big button, pick a picture, tilt it like a steering wheel or move gently with the whole body.

  • Scan the code to connect

    Open the phone app and scan the square code on the TV: the phone connects to exactly that TV, on the same Wi-Fi network. No account and no sign-in.

  • 1 to 8 players

    Most games are for 1–2 players. Dragon Boat Race, Kids' Band, Horse Race Ludo, O An Quan and Sack Hop take up to 4, and Turn Battle takes 2–8.

The animal friends

Each player picks an animal friend with a tap on the phone. New friends are waiting to be befriended, too.

Movement mode: gentle moves, safety first

Many games have a Movement mode (“Vận động”): the child holds the phone and moves their whole body to control the character on the TV. Only gentle moves are used:

  1. Side steps

    Step to the left, step to the right, like moving a basket to catch falling fruit.

  2. Light hops

    A small knee bounce or a very light hop is enough. No high jumps needed.

  3. Gentle body turns

    Turn the body a little to the left or right, like paddling a boat or returning a ball.

The app does not use punching, swinging or shaking, and bigger moves do not make a character go faster.

Playing safely

  • Hold the phone firmly with both hands, or use a wrist strap.
  • Clear a space around the child, away from furniture, sharp corners and the TV.
  • An adult should always be nearby while a child plays.
  • Take a break when the child gets tired.

Other ways to play

Some games also offer other ways to play, chosen on the TV before the game starts:

  • The rabbit holds a phone sideways in both hands and tilts it like a steering wheel.Tilt like a steering wheel
  • The rabbit stands holding a phone in one hand.Hold in the hand
  • The cat, wearing a helmet, rides a balance bike with a phone mounted on it.Mounted on a ride-on toy
  • The cat hugs a TV remote.TV remote

Languages and learning topics

On the TV home screen, parents choose the language and tick the topics they want their child to meet. Short questions on those topics are woven into the games that have quizzes.

  • Letters
  • Math
  • English
  • Science
  • Thinking: colours, shapes, patterns
  • Vietnamese (rhymes, words)
  • The world around me
  • Music and art

The English and Vietnamese topics appear only when the app is set to Vietnamese.

  • Vietnamese and English

    The app follows the device language, and you can switch it on the home screen.

  • 1 to 3 stars

    Choose an easier or harder level before playing.

  • Questions get updated

    When the TV is online, new question sets download by themselves. Offline, the games use the questions built into the app.

    Install the app on Android TV or Google TV and open it. The TV shows the animal friends waiting for players.

  2. Install the controller app on the phone

  3. Scan the code on the TV and tap your animal

Devices

  • Screen: Android TV, Google TV

    A TV or TV box running Android TV or Google TV.

  • Controller: Android phone, iPhone

    Each player uses one phone. Tilt and movement modes use the phone's motion sensors.

  • One Wi-Fi network

    The TV and the phones must be on the same home Wi-Fi network.

Coming soon on Google Play and the App Store · ZuiHub Kid is getting ready for release. This page will link to the downloads once the app is in the stores.

For parents

ZuiHub Kid is made for playing together in the living room, with a parent nearby.

  • No ads

    There are no ads anywhere in the app.

  • No in-app purchases

    No paid packs and no buy buttons.

  • No account

    No sign-up, no sign-in, no email address.

  • No data about your child

    Game messages only travel between the TV and the phones at home. When online, the TV only downloads new question sets and sends nothing about your child.

  • Wins and losses are never stored

    Each round's result is shown on screen and then forgotten. The TV only remembers the animals your child has befriended, progress and the rules you chose.

  • Kind words

    Win or lose, the games always say something encouraging so children want to keep playing.
