Frequently asked

What is The Little Wilds?

A calm, wordless pixel-art town made for the very youngest children. There's nothing to win and nothing to read — a little neighbourhood lives at its own gentle pace, and your child taps to play.

Who is it for?

Babies and toddlers (rated 4+). It's designed to be soothing and simple — no menus, no timers, and no way to "lose."

Does it need the internet?

No. The Little Wilds works fully offline. Once it's installed, no connection is needed.

Are there ads or in-app purchases?

None at all. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no links that lead out of the app.

Do you collect any data?

No. The app collects no personal data and has no accounts or tracking — everything stays on the device. See our Privacy Policy.

I don't hear any sound — what's wrong?

First, check the iPad's side mute switch (or Control Centre) — the app respects it and stays quiet when your device is muted. Also make sure the little speaker button on the title screen is on. Then re-open the app.

How does the town grow?

The neighbourhood grows a little each in-game day, as the characters sleep through the night and wake to a new morning. Leave it running, or come back over a few days, and you'll see new neighbours and buildings appear and the trees grow taller.

How do I turn the music on or off?

Tap the speaker button in the corner of the title screen. Your choice is remembered.

How do I start a brand-new town?

On the title screen, choose New game. Your town will start again as just Eliza and her flower shop.

What devices does it run on?

iPhone and iPad running iOS / iPadOS 17 or newer.
