Dojo Islands for Home FAQ

What is Dojo Islands for Home? 

Dojo Islands for Home (or Home Islands) is our at-home version of the popular classroom game. While teachers and students play together on Class Islands at school, Home Islands lets kids continue their social adventure outside of school, giving them a different set of islands to explore.

Is Home Islands available everywhere?

Home Islands is not yet available for families in the UK. Stay tuned as our team works to make Home Islands available for all families! 

What is the difference between Home Islands and Class Islands?

Class Islands brings the whole class together in one shared space, where students explore communal building areas and activities with all their classmates.

In Home Islands, each child gets their own zone to build and create, plus they can choose which friends to invite. You can create islands for small groups of close friends or larger gatherings, while shared activity areas and social hubs provide spaces to connect with others.

The other difference is that while teachers control access for Class Islands, parents control the settings on Home Islands, letting you choose when your child plays and who they play with.

Dojo Islands is a vibrant world for kids to build their own creations, visit their friends' islands, and develop STEM and social skills through creative play.
