1. Our Safety Commitments to Your Family
- Play Without Personal Information: Children and families can play immediately in Guest Mode or choose a creative Town Nickname (like Sunnyville) without ever entering a real name, home address, or phone number.
- Honest Filtered AI Disclosure: We state clearly on every page: "This helper is a filtered AI. It is not a person and not your friend. Always check with a grown-up you trust."
- 100% G-Rated Humor & Kindness: All 11,300 sprite sayings are hand-curated for wholesome, funny, family-friendly encouragement. There is no open unmoderated stranger chat.
- Gentle Audio & Visuals: All sound effects and relaxing tones stay at or below 639 Hz, and players can mute audio or switch sky moods in one click.
2. Homeschool Hub & Family Co-op Use
Many families and homeschool co-ops use HugIt.Town as a gentle daily reward or reading-and-listening station:
- Read & Listen Practice: Every sprite displays a short, upbeat sentence and reads it aloud clearly when your child clicks 🔊 Read, helping early readers connect spoken words with text.
- Safe Neighbor Visits: Siblings or co-op classmates can visit each other's towns (`?visit=TownName`) to send a friendly 639 Hz Hug without ever overwriting their own town.
- Family & Classroom 5-Town Bundle: Our Co-op License ($29 one-time) unlocks 12×12 grids and 5,000 Hugs for up to 5 family or classroom towns at once.
3. Simple Parent Controls for Purchases & Subscriptions
All purchases require an adult (18+) via Stripe Checkout. You can restore purchases to a new tablet or cancel a monthly Steward Pass in one click anytime at our Customer Self-Service Portal or by emailing support@hugit.town.
