Chess Adventure
A simple chess app built for kids who can't read yet
Most chess apps are too complex for young kids — full of text, menus, and settings they can't navigate. Chess Adventure is built from the ground up for children who are just starting out. Clean visual UI, no reading required. Play against an AI that starts with random moves and gradually gets smarter as you win — or play pass-and-play with someone on the same device. No ads, no subscriptions. One optional one-time purchase for extra color themes, but the full game is free.
I built this for my 5-year-old who wanted to play chess but had challanges to use any of the apps out there — too much text, too complicated or ads. I'm not a chess player myself, just wanted him to play something useful and interesting. Took about a year of evenings and weekends. Would love any feedback — especially on the bot difficulty if anyone gives it a try!
Tried this with my niece and she figured it out on her own in minutes. The no-text approach actually works, and the AI ramping up after wins kept her challenged without getting frustrated.
