🛡️ Why parents trust TotType
🔒
Safe by design
Fullscreen play. In Chrome and Edge on a computer the keyboard lock also captures shortcuts like Ctrl+W, so a key-masher can't close the tab; the Windows key and Cmd+Q always get through. Grown-up exit: hold Esc, or three fingers for three seconds.
📈
Grows with your child
One platform from the first keyboard mash at age one to real sentence-typing by eight — 41 learning games that level up as they do.
🚫
Nothing that identifies your child
A parent email, the subscription state and, if you add them, nickname-only child profiles with their progress. Never your child's real name, photo, or birthday.
🎙️
Built for pre-readers
31 of the 41 learning games are voice-narrated, so a child who can't read yet can play — and learn — largely on their own.
📺
No ads where they play
The playground and every game's own page carry no ad units and request no ads. Ads on our other kids' pages, like the game lists, are contextual only — never personalised to a child — and a paid plan turns them off everywhere.
🎨
Original art
Our own characters and music. No knock-off mascots, no licensed cartoon tie-ins pushing something else.
The same platform carries a child from their first key-press to touch typing and code. Here’s the journey, stage by stage.

Letters, phonics & first typing
Letter and numeral recognition, phonics, the first 'press the matching key' typing, finding keys on the keyboard, the big keys, capital and lowercase letter twins, music, memory and two races to play together — still playful, and more than half of it narrated.
First home-row typing, a full ten-finger typing course, rhymes, sight-word fluency, whole-word typing, spelling from dictation, full-sentence typing with WPM + accuracy, code-breaking, reading comprehension, and beginner arithmetic.
Touch typing belt by belt, typing races with words per minute, a story that moves as they type it, proofreading a kids' newspaper, real HTML, Python and JavaScript, and a word-typing defense game: upper elementary to middle school.
Free covers every age: the playground for toddlers, 15 learning games, and the 59-game Arcade for every kid, through elementary and middle school. Family and Family Plus add learning games for ages 2–12. Classroom is for teachers.
🎁 New here? A free account comes with a welcome offer: 15% off Family or Family Plus, every month for as long as you stay subscribed, when you subscribe within 14 days of signing up.
Every paid game can be tried first in a free 60-second demo, twice a day per game on the same device, with no account — nothing from a demo is saved. Ads never interrupt a game, and are never personalised to your child. From the games, Google Analytics learns only which game was started and when a free demo started and ended, never what a child types or scores, and session recordings mask the play area. We keep a parent email, the PayPal subscription state and, if you add them, nickname-only child profiles with their progress (key and session counts, and which letters, numbers, colours, shapes and words were got right) — never a child’s real name, birth date or photo.

💬 What families say
“TotType does a great job combining learning with the kind of arcade games kids already enjoy. My daughter’s typing speed and confidence have improved noticeably.”
— Parent of a 9-year-old
“Simple to use, fun for the kids, and actually educational. I especially like being able to see progress instead of just putting them in front of another online game.”
— Family Plus Subscriber
“With so many games to choose from, my kids don’t get bored. They’re practicing typing without even realizing how much they’re learning. TotType has become part of our weekly routine.”
— Parent of Two TotType Users
“My son thinks he’s just playing games, but I can see how much faster and more confident he’s becoming on the keyboard. It’s a win for both of us!”
— Parent of an Elementary Student
“We tried several typing programs, but TotType was the first one that really kept our kids interested. They love unlocking and playing the arcade games, and I love that they’re improving their typing skills at the same time.”
— Family Plus Parent
“TotType has completely changed how my child feels about typing practice. Instead of complaining about lessons, they actually ask if they can play TotType after school. The games make learning feel fun instead of like homework.”
— Parent of a 7-year-old
❓ Common questions
What does my child actually learn?
Counting from 1 to 10, first words and first typing on the free tier: finding keys on the keyboard, the big keys, capital and lowercase letter pairs, the home row, and rhymes, plus a typing race and a typed adventure for ages 8 to 12. Letter recognition, phonics, sight-word typing, and basic keyboard fluency on the Family plan, and for ages 8 to 12 touch typing and proofreading. Music ear-training, visual memory, and vocabulary plus reading comprehension on Family Plus, and for ages 8 to 12 real code and a typing defense game. 31 of the 41 learning games are voice-narrated, so pre-readers can play independently.
What ages are these for?
The free learning games run from age 1 to 12: first-touch games for ages 1–5, five typing games for ages 3–8, the Thanksgiving typing game Feast Street for ages 5–10, two multiplayer races for ages 2–8, and two typing games for ages 8–12. The Family and Family Plus games both cover ages 2–12. Each tile on /games is age-tagged so you can pick the right starting point for your child.
Is it safe to hand to my child?
Yes, with a browser caveat. The playground goes fullscreen, and in Chrome and Edge on a computer the keyboard lock captures shortcuts such as Ctrl+W, Ctrl+T and F11, so a curious key-masher can’t close the tab. Safari and Firefox have no keyboard lock. PrintScreen, Cmd+Q on Mac and the Windows key always get through, because the operating system handles them before any browser sees them. To exit, hold Esc on a computer, or hold three fingers on the screen for three seconds on a touchscreen.
Do you collect data on my child?
Very little, and nothing that identifies your child. Played signed out, the games save nothing about your child: the keyboard playground sends only a count of key presses. With a free parent account, each child profile keeps its progress (key and session counts, and which letters, numbers, colours, shapes and words were got right) under a nickname you choose, never a real name, birth date or photo; points, best scores and badges belong to the parent account. Free demos of paid games save nothing. The privacy page lists everything we keep.
Why a subscription?
One-time apps go stale. A subscription funds a steady cadence of new games, themes, and lessons — about one of each per month. If we slow down, you cancel.
Will the free games stay free?
Forever. They’re how parents find us. We won’t add time limits or paywalls to them. Ads help keep them free: they appear on our other pages, such as the game lists, guides and the blog, while the playground and the game pages themselves carry none, and they are never personalised to a child.
