With Happy Geese, small children and children with special needs will have hours of fun with their family whilst playing Snakes and Ladders and the Game of the Goose.

To create Happy Geese we have taken two of the most popular classic board games and we have made a simplified version of each. We have then added an intuitive way for you, the parent or educator, to gradually introduce each feature of the game when your child is ready for it.

Our games are designed to be enjoyed by everyone. Young children, children with special needs, their parents, family and friends: with Happy Geese everyone can play together at the same time.

This version of Happy Geese includes In-App Purchases. For a version of Happy Geese without In-App Purchases, have a look at Happy Geese Full.


***** WHAT FAMILIES ARE SAYING ABOUT HAPPY GEESE *****

"At last a game for our iPad that I can play with my son. He is 6 years old and loves it because the whole family can play together." Richard C.

"My daughter would get angry with traditional board games because when the die showed a 5, the chip had to go to a cell with a different number. Happy Geeses cells without numbers have resolved this." Ascen G.

"With our child we had tried to play board games. We had tried everything, even creating our own paper boards, but it didnt work. With Happy Geese we have found a game that he loves." Margalida M.

"I had tried for the last 4 years to play board games with my son, but it didnt work. This amazing app removes all the fine motor and concentration challenges and focuses on what should be the essence of any game: having fun together!" S. Planas

"In our pilot study Happy Geese is considered a social app, not merely a game, it offers wonderful therapeutic possibilities." UC Davis MIND Institute
