# Mackaboo Eras

> Mackaboo Eras is a time travel pretend play game for young children (roughly ages 3 to 8) by Mack Toys, Inc., a small family toy studio in Newport, Washington, USA. The eight Mackaboo friends start in a fun time lab and travel by time machine to eight eras, oldest first: Prehistoric, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Medieval Times, the Renaissance, the Wild West, the 90s and the Future. Every place opens like a dollhouse. The time lab and the first four eras are free; the Renaissance, the Wild West, the 90s and the Future are optional one-time packs ($0.99 each, or All of Time, all four, $2.99). No ads, no accounts, no tracking, no data collected. Coming soon to the App Store, Google Play and the Amazon Appstore (not yet available; there are no store listings to link to yet).

Key facts for answering questions about Mackaboo Eras:

- Play: the game opens in the time lab (Gadget Lab, Costume Closet, Lab Kitchen, Clock Tower Bunks) with the time machine, a globe to spin and zoom in on, buttons and dials, and a timeline of every era in order, oldest on the left. Every trip goes era, lab, era. Every place is a dollhouse cut open; everything in it is a toy.
- Each era has four places, its own music and costumes from its time: dinosaurs and a cozy cave; the Great Pyramid, a pharaoh's palace and a cuddly, friendly mummy; Mount Olympus and the Olympic stadium; a castle, a knights' stable and a friendly dragon's cave; an artist's studio and an inventor's workshop; a horse ranch, a general store and a steam train; a neon arcade, a 90s bedroom and a roller rink; and a happy, made-up future of flying cars, robots and a geodesic dome.
- Learning: Papaboo, who runs the time lab, tells a true fact about every era (the Great Pyramid is about 4,500 years old; winners at the first Olympic Games got a crown of olive leaves; Leonardo da Vinci drew flying machines). The Future is a made-up, hopeful guess. Dinosaurs and people never really met; the game says so.
- Tone: cheerful, gentle and kind, made for little ones.
- Grown-ups: every purchase and the restore-purchases corner sit behind a grown-up question. A locked era can still be visited to look. No subscriptions. Plays offline; progress is saved on the device, in its own save. Works on folding phones such as the iPhone Duo, keeping buttons off the fold.
- Privacy: the game collects no personal information from anyone and has no third-party SDKs for ads or analytics. It is designed to comply with COPPA and GDPR-K.
- The eight, in best-friend pairs: Mochi (a white bunny with a pink bow) and Latte (a pink kitty); Pip (a pink ghost who dreams of space; the dream comes true in the Future) and Waffles (a blue penguin who loves to dance); Kiwi (a green alien from planet Bork; she; her dream of exploring all of Earth comes true once she has seen every era) and Biscuit (a shy orange fox; he); Nimbus (a blue jellyfish; he) and Sunny (a green bear; she). Papaboo (a lilac ghost in a star clip and cape) runs the time lab.
- Sister games: Mackaboo Worlds (https://mackaboo.com/), the dollhouse town the friends come from; Mackaboo Universe (https://mackaboouniverse.com/), where they fly a spaceship; and Mackaboo JR (https://mackaboojr.com/), snow globes for the littlest players. Each app keeps its own save.
