Pip’s Chess Quest

Pip the owl teaches chess out loud: 10 story chapters, friendly buddies to play, and family games for two on one device. No reading needed, no ads, fully offline.

Pip the owl is a knight-in-training, and he needs a helper. Grumble the Storm Cloud has mixed up the Kingdom of Sixty-Four, and the chess pieces have forgotten how to move. Your child puts it right, one square at a time.

Made for children about 5 to 8, including those who can't read yet. Pip says every instruction out loud, mistakes are never punished, and a wrong move simply bounces back with a cheerful "Almost! Try again."

TEN STORY CHAPTERS From Checkerboard Meadow to the Grand Tournament, your child learns: • The board, and how every piece moves • Capturing, and what each piece is worth • Check and checkmate, castling, promotion and en passant • Tricks: forks, pins and skewers • Famous checkmate patterns, opening rules and keeping pieces safe Each lesson takes a few minutes: watch Pip, try it yourself, then play a mini-game.
