About Mysh

A storytelling game parents and kids play together, built by parents who couldn't find the thing they actually wanted.

A short note from all of us

A few years ago we started asking ourselves a question a lot of parents ask: how do we do technology well for our kids? Not "cut it out." We love games and stories as much as anyone. The real question was how to make the time kids spend with a screen feel like something, instead of something we feel quietly bad about. What we kept noticing was that the screen moments that felt good weren't the ones where a kid was alone with an app. They were the ones where a parent was sitting beside them, reading a line, arguing about what a character would do next, laughing at the same turn. The tech wasn't the point. The together was the point.

Mysh is a collaborative storytelling game for parents and kids, ages 7 to 12. You make heroes. You pick an adventure. You take turns deciding what your heroes do. The AI plays narrator, generates the art, and gives voice to the characters you meet. But every choice, the name, the personality, the next move, the moment your hero is brave, is yours. No two sessions are ever the same. No ads. No strangers. No in-app purchases. Just a family, some heroes, and a story that didn't exist until you started telling it.

Screen time is a hard conversation in almost every household. We don't think the answer is to shame it, and we don't think it's to pretend all apps are equal. The answer, we think, is to build technology that brings families closer instead of pulling them apart. Mysh is our best attempt at that. It's not finished; we're improving it every week. If you have ideas for how to make it better for your family, we'd love to hear them.
