Our Mission

We're on a mission to revolutionize the way kids learn through the magic of storytelling. 
We believe that stories and games allow kids to express themselves creatively, and that every child deserves to feel uninhibited joy as they unlock their true potential through play. We're dedicated to showings kids that a world of infinite possibilities awaits within every game they play.

Our Story

Since 2018, Story Time Learning has made it possible for kids as young as three to master tricky subjects, all through the power of storytelling. We started as a chess tutoring company for kids offering a unique story-based curriculum teaching chess one engaging chapter at a time, designed to captivate any young mind.

As they followed our colorful cast of quirky, memorable characters and their adventures through the magical world of Chesslandia, kids as young as three swiftly became successful chess players while developing critical thinking, strategy and problem-solving skills, turning into resilient thinkers in other areas of their lives.

This inspired us to expand our story-based approach into other arenas such as backgammon and card games, building a product line that’s been used in schools and homes around the world and which has garnered top awards like the Time Best Invention of the Year, the Mom's Choice Gold Award, Parents Best Toy Award, and more.

Our Unique Method

Harness the power of storytelling.

Our unique method harnesses the power of storytelling. Instead of having to learn complex, boring rules by rote memorization, children discover game concepts alongside friendly, relatable characters. Rules are represented in narrative form by engaging illustrated stories.

Focus on a discrete educational outcome.

We follow all the time-tested rules of storytelling: motivated characters experience conflict and in resolving those conflicts, learn and grow. That’s how our stories convey both valuable life lessons and critical game knowledge that kids can use on the board.

Make it fun!

Most importantly—it’s fun! Kids are naturally motivated to have fun and we lean into that instinct at every turn. Stories make these beneficial games something kids want to return to and they’ll be begging to haul out the chessboard or set up the backgammon pieces before you know it!
