Games that teach real-world mindset — without asking your kid to read a word.
Tiny Tycoons is a library of 30-second mini-games for kids 6–9. Each game dramatizes a single big idea from a famous business or self-development book, translated into mechanics your kid grasps instantly: compounding, delayed gratification, assets vs. toys, selling, habits, and empathy.
