Ever wish your child’s screen time could be more than just mindless entertainment?
Kinjo leverages educational content already present within our 500+ Roblox Game Library into engaging Missions: weaving a narrative storyline to ensure that your kids are not only having fun, but also developing crucial life skills.
Finding educational content in Roblox games
Our learning & gaming team at Kinjo evaluates games using a robust 500-point rubric to determine their learning value.
Each game is then assigned a 0-5 flame rating:
- 5 Flames: Top-tier, highly educational, highly complex games that require great skill
- 1 Flame: Minimal educational value, mindless play
- 0 Flames: Not recommended due to low learning value or unsavory content
See the detailed information from our reviews in our Roblox Game Library, including parent summaries, content tags such as jump scares, lists and descriptions of how each life skill is practiced in that game!
Motivation to encourage high-quality game play
We know that intrinsic motivation is key, but a little extrinsic motivation never hurts. With Kinjo Missions, parents can customize their child’s earning level.
Prioritizing games with higher learning experiences earns kids Kinjo Coins, which can be redeemed for rewards like Robux. This means no more constant begging for Robux – your kids earn them through productive play.

New! Skill-Based Learning
Kinjo’s Skills Framework was developed by analyzing the last 20 years of published research on video games and learning.
During its creation, our experts focused on game research measuring cognitive performance in real-world activities.
While evaluating this data, it became apparent that most game-driven skills can be broken down into Skill Domains.
Kinjo's 7 Skill Domains
Digital Citizenship, Financial Literacy, Memory, Psychomotor Speed, Executive Functioning, Social Cognition, and Knowledge Acquisition
Within each of these Skill Domains, correlations were established between life skills and in-game mechanics which has allowed us to evaluate numerous existing gaming experiences to rate skill-building aspects inherent in each gaming experience.
To encourage a deeper exploration of skills within each domain, we’re proud to announce our first two Skill-Based Missions releasing mid-July 2024.
