Chessosaurus

Same great moves. A wilder world!

Chess, languages, maths, science and memory, all in one dino-sized adventure. Children learn every chess move with a friendly dinosaur, pick up words in 12 languages, sharpen their maths and collect stars along the Dino trail. Clever fun that grows with them, with no ads, no chat and no screen-time traps.

Learn chess, one dinosaur at a time

Every piece is a dinosaur character, from the Hatchling pawns to the T. rex king. The rules are real chess, so everything children learn works on any board.

Friendly lessons

Each piece has its own short lesson, read aloud if you like. Glowing squares show where to move.

The Dino trail

A step-by-step path: learn a piece, play a little game with it, collect stars, then on to the next stop.

Play the computer

Seven levels to grow through, from the Baby dino who plays almost at random to the T. rex.

Dino games

Languages, maths, science, memory and chess-skill games. No timers and no rush: every round earns stars.

2D or 3D

A flat board, or a 3D one you can turn and zoom. Save a favourite angle for each set of pieces.

Play a friend

Two players on one phone or tablet, or on two devices side by side, paired by a grown-up with a code.
