Hello BeamPlay the Hello Beam beta
A calm numbers game for children aged 5 to 7 who are still working on numbers, and for homeschool families teaching K–1 math.
Free while in beta: the whole path is free to play, with no sign-in. When the beta ends, Ticket Check, Station Numbers, Platform Count and Lighthouse Flash stay free. The full path will cost $9.99 once for families who get the Founding Pass through February 28, 2027, and $19.99 once after that.
The beta game has no accounts, ads, analytics or sign-up, and it sends nothing about your child to us or anyone else. How the beta handles data ↓
Made for a tablet held sideways. Not designed for phones. Please play it together with your child.
What's in the beta
One gentle path, from 1, 2, 3 to making ten.
- Ticket Check. A first-day check, 4 minutes or less. It finds where your child should start.
- Station Numbers and Platform Count. Each number is shown before it's asked for. Then your child counts, one by one, up to 20.
- Lighthouse Flash. Seeing small amounts at a glance.
- All Aboard! Building numbers on a ten-seat train.
- Hop Stop. Finding one more and one less, to 10 and then to 20.
- Light the Numbers. Writing 0–9 with a finger.
- Split Bridge. Splitting a number up to 10 into two parts: 8 is 3 and 5.
- Fill the Carriage. Making ten.
- Spoken, with captions. Beam's voice is computer-generated. The lines were written for Hello Beam and turned into audio once, before release. Beam can't chat or listen.
- For grown-ups, behind a gate: the learning path, the play-time setting, a privacy note and a reset button.
What it costs
Now: nothing. The whole Count & Write Path is free to play on the web during the beta, with no sign-in and no card.
When the beta ends: Ticket Check, Station Numbers, Platform Count and Lighthouse Flash stay free. The full path will cost $9.99 once for families who get the Founding Pass through February 28, 2027, and $19.99 once after that. The Founding Pass is available through the end of February 28, 2027, Pacific time.
The Founding Pass is how you will keep the full path after the beta ends, with one payment and no subscription. It does not include any later pack. It is not on sale yet. If you'd like an email when it is, join the waitlist.
In the beta game there is nothing for sale and no price in your child's part of it.
How the beta handles data
The beta game has no accounts, ads, analytics or sign-up, and it sends nothing about your child to us or anyone else. Progress is saved only in the browser on your device. To remove it, use "Reset all progress" (or "Reset everything on this tablet" when more than one child plays) in the grown-ups' area, then clear the site's data in your browser.
To deliver the game, our host Cloudflare receives normal connection details from your device: your IP address and the country it points to, your browser type, the files requested and the time. Cloudflare keeps short records of these for security and traffic statistics; on our plan its dashboard shows us about the last month. We don't export them, combine them with anything, or use them to identify anyone. The game's own server keeps no visit log, and the game sets no cookies.
This page is different from the game: like the rest of this website, it counts visits as totals, with no script and no cookie. The full details are in the privacy notice.
Tell me what confused your child
This is a beta, and so far it has been tested at home with my own kids. The most useful thing you can send me is the moment your child got stuck. Write to me, Artem: hello@playhellobeam.com. Please don't send your child's name or photos.
