Whither & Whence
A downloadable game
Whither & Whence is a storytelling game that combines mapmaking fun with real measuring skills! Get ready to draw your way to Granny's house in a game loved by kids, parents, and teachers alike.
Perfect for 4-7 year olds, Whither & Whence can be a rainy-day game or a get-out-and-play game. How many different ways will you play?
Building Skills
- Practice measuring with non-standard units (like blocks or popsicle sticks) or with a ruler
- Group storytelling, where everyone gets to add a little to the adventure
- Turn-taking and teamwork
- Pick an environment like the Desert Zone or Swampy Ground and start thinking geographically. What lives in those terrains? What kinds of things might happen there?
Playing with Purpose
Whether you're drawing at a table or taking big leaps across the park, Whither & Whence invites you to laugh, imagine, and enjoy while helping young minds stretch and grow.
And who doesn't like a game with a treat at the end? Have a snack, read a story, or do something your child enjoys as a reward for a game well played. You've earned it!

Fantastic game! This was perfect for playing with my kid (4.5yo) - we played as characters for Hilda (so Hilda and Twig) going on an adventure, and he didn't want to stop playing! Excellent EDU game and an excellent game in general!
