The story of the project
What is Pocket Poppet
Just what is Pocket Poppet? It’s a game, sure, but it’s not just a game! It’s a hands-on, interactive and creative workshop where kids (including grown-up kids) can plunge into the extraordinary world of theater. In it, there are simple tools to use for, and in this imaginative theatre-game, and by using these tools, kids can invent and apply their own themed scenarios all by themselves.
With Pocket Poppet tools they can:
• Create and write their own scenes/storyline by choice of theme.
• Decorate the stage.
• Choose the costumes for their characters
• Record the animated play and show it to their friends and family
And what is more, they can determine who and what their characters are, the scripts, set designs, props, themes (i.e., Christmas, Halloween, summer fun, winter games, Independence Day, etc.), lighting, background music, and costumes; thereby creating their own little masterpieces.
They can choose to be the wardrobe master, the scenarist/writer, director, lead actor, supporting actor, and producer! They might produce a show/scenario with their friends or family—and what could be more fun than co-creating and playing a theatre-game with our kids? What’s even more fun is that with Pocket Poppet there are no winners or losers—just satisfaction and enjoyment through an exciting, creative process of living theatre, whether collaboratively or independently.

Challenges
Promotion. The main our obstacle is promotion.
We know how to deal with game, but don’t have enough experience how and where promote crowdfunding campaign.
Plan like below:
1. Expand information among friends,business partners
2. Share information via web-site.
3. Special blogs and web-sites
So Why Invest?
What’s that special in this concept of ours for yet another game for children?
For starters, the project is unique in its niche. We don’t copy existing games, and why would we? Undoubtedly, it’s a brand new game that’s fresh, interesting, enjoyable, and sure to be a fun and satisfying pastime highly sought after all over the world because it makes a child’s world he or she would like it to be. Kids can then further imagine wonderful new worlds full of adventures and secrets where they can dream and say: We are scenarists. We are producers and directors.
We are actors and set designers.
As confirmed, self-admitted and unrepentant computer geeks and geniuses, we really love to create interactive games, especially for kids, partly because we have never lost the wonder of our own childhoods. We know that children study and learn by playing intellect-broadening games.
They discover our world through using that genuine, untouched mind they started life with. That’s why our goal is to create educational games which promote creativity; by doing so, it breeds inventiveness and even giftedness—games that make them think, dream, create, concoct, and construct something of their own, something that is uniquely theirs and unrepeatable.
We know that the Pocket Poppet game helps kids develop creative potential and awaken their natural aptitude. Just imagine: you will be involved with a project that has the potential of launching the next Shakespeare or Spielberg to the world. To make this happen, we want to be in a stable and durable position to hire the finest designers, IT developers, writers, artists and musicians to ensure the highest-quality and user-friendly product is ready for the novice and sophisticated marketplace of users. In acquiring the best and talented resources for these needs, we can position and then establish Pocket Poppet to enhance and expand our own project initiatives and future productivity.
