Start with an empty meadow. The collection holds everything from sofas, beds and a piano to a dog bed, a cat tree, kitchens, baths, the garden and its streams, ponds, waterfalls and bridges; solid pieces keep clear of walls, doorways and each other. Pictures, shelves, cabinets and lights hang on walls and ceilings, and a light switch on the wall turns a room's lamps on and off together. Rugs, paths and the patio lie flat, so furniture can stand on them, and flowers can be planted in a raised bed or planter.
The camera in Model view (or in Walk, with the walker in the picture) takes a photo of your home: choose a look, then the big round button. On an iPad it opens the share sheet (Save Image puts it in Photos); elsewhere it downloads a PNG. A small copy becomes the home's postcard in My homes. Photos stay on this device and are never synced.
Walk (the footprints) sends a little walker round the home: tap the ground to walk there, or tap a piece to visit it. It sits on chairs, sofas, beds and the bunk bed, rides the rocking horse, switches lamps, lights the fire, plays the piano and the record player and pats the pets, and finds its own way through doors, up the stairs and over bridges. Choose the walker with the faces at the top left (kept on this device).
Interior (the sofa) draws walls and decorates inside: Walls draws them, and Paint colours the inside walls of a room, or Floors lays its floor: choose one, then tap the room. A room split by a new wall keeps its paint and floor in both halves. Selecting a single wall and choosing a colour paints that wall inside, and outside too unless the house wears an outside finish. Paper and Tile & wood cover a room's walls the same way; the rail buttons put it over the whole wall or only under a dado rail, for two-tone walls. The roof panel has coverings too.
Exterior (the house with a garden) has Outside, which dresses a whole house at once, and Ground: grass, sand, paving, cobbles, water and more, laid a metre square at a time. Tap a square, drag a finger across the plan for a path, or Fill the whole garden; the eraser takes ground away. Ground stays outside the rooms. Water keeps furniture out (a bridge spans it), and hard ground such as paving keeps ponds and streams out. Doors and Windows each have their colours: new ones wear the chosen colour, a tap on one recolours it, and Whole house matches every one on that house.
No reading is needed: a soft glowing ring marks what to touch next, and after a few quiet seconds a hand shows the tap or drag. The line along the bottom of the builder says the same in words.
The music, the record player's songs, the garden's birds and water, the footsteps and the sound effects were made with ElevenLabs (elevenlabs.io); the little chimes use a tuned ElevenLabs note, with synthesized stand-ins while recordings load. They are kept on this device with the game for offline play. No voice, advertisements or tracking.
Share a home
A share link lets family and friends look round a home in Plan, Model and Walk, from any browser, without changing anything. It always shows the home as it is now. Links are never listed by search engines; a home in the public gallery can be found from the gallery. New link stops the old link working (within about a minute everywhere), for a link that went further than you meant. Link previews show the home’s name and its last photo (only a shared home’s photo leaves this device); the player’s name is never shown. Like the saves themselves, this is kid-proofing rather than privacy: don’t put anything private in a shared home’s name.
Sharing needs a player passcode, so ’s homes can’t be shared.
Someone shared this home from Floral Valley, a gentle home builder for young children. Look round it in Plan and Model, or send the little walker for a walk. Nothing you do here changes the home. See more homes in the gallery.
