JACK & MANI
An educational game for kids that builds language skills while having funFor parents: the native language or a foreign language, through play
Looking for a game that is both fun and useful for your child? In Jack & Mani, they lead a real investigation by writing to the characters. In academic mode, the AI corrects their spelling and grammar as they play: in their native language to strengthen the basics, or in a foreign language they are learning.
Choose the language
French to reinforce the native language, or a foreign language your child is learning: English, Spanish, German and more.
Turn on academic mode
Your child writes to the characters to solve the investigation; the AI corrects their mistakes and explains them, kindly.
Let them lead the investigation
They read the clues, ask their questions and unmask the culprit, losing all track of time.
Why an educational game builds language skills better than a worksheet
An educational game builds language skills because it gives a real reason to write: solving an investigation. Motivation is everything. When writing becomes a way to move forward in a story you want to finish, children produce far more sentences without feeling like they are revising. Repetition then happens naturally, in service of the game, and screen time becomes active reading and writing rather than passive consumption.
Practising the native language: spelling, grammar, expression
By choosing French, your child writes real sentences to question the characters, and the AI corrects spelling, grammar and conjugation while explaining every mistake, at the right moment. It is written expression in context, not a list of isolated exercises. Ideal for children who balk at dictations: they write for pleasure, read the clues actively to move forward, and consolidate the basics without the pressure of being graded.
Learning a foreign language while having fun
For a foreign language, simply switch the game to English, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch or Portuguese. Your child then leads the whole investigation in that language: they read the answers, frame their questions and understand the clues. Reading, writing and comprehension in a single activity, corrected to their level, from beginner to advanced. The curiosity to find the culprit gives them the boldness to write in a language they have not yet mastered.
From what age, and how to support your child
As soon as a child can read and write, around age 8, they can play on their own. Younger than that, it makes a lovely activity for two: the parent reads the clues aloud, helps frame the questions and talks through the corrections. Playing together turns the exercise into a shared moment, and lets you adjust the difficulty by choosing simpler or harder investigations. A few short sessions are enough to see a child gain in ease and confidence.

What parents appreciate
The feedback we hear most often at home.
He hates dictations, but he spends hours writing to the suspects: his spelling has clearly improved.
We use it for English: she writes her questions, the game corrects them, and she remembers because it is for real.
Screen time I do not feel guilty about offering: they read, they write and they think.
