How the Idea for This App Was Born
On an ordinary mom day — the kind where I heard “mooom” so many times I practically forgot my own name.
- Some days feel like endless juggling: walk, food, play, tears, more food… and trying to squeeze in work. That’s when cartoons save the day.
- And they do save us. But only for a short while — because overstimulation kicks in, then the meltdown, and then the mom guilt. So you start searching for something better. You want to give your child not just screen time, but something meaningful.
- Most apps are pure chaos. Just fast dopamine for kids — and that’s it. No real development.
- And when my daughter Yaroslava completed the same puzzle again and said: “I’ve already done this. I’m bored. I don’t want to anymore,” I realized I wanted something more for her growth. Something deeper, structured, and truly developmental.
I realized something important: children truly need to feel that they’re growing.
That’s how the idea came to life — to create games where levels gradually get harder, and every next step feels like a new challenge, not a repeat of the old one. This app was created first and foremost for my daughter, Yaroslava.
But I also wanted something better for your children. Healthy screen time. Something that supports their development — and gives you peace of mind.
The Journey: From Idea to Reality
- Our children are growing up in the age of mobile technology and artificial intelligence — a new reality we simply cannot ignore. But a device isn’t the enemy when it’s used the right way.
- My mission is to help raise a healthy, conscious, and happy new generation.
That’s why I wanted to create a high-quality, truly game-changing product that offers a completely different approach to developmental games.
- Growth has always been one of my core values.
And that’s why New Rise Games was created as an app that brings together games designed to support the harmonious development of key cognitive skills — memory, attention, logic, math, problem-solving, language, and emotional intelligence.
So every child can focus, think, and solve problems.
I searched for a solution — and couldn’t find one. So I built it myself: for a child’s development and a mom’s peace of mind.

hours of development and testing
- As a mom, I’ve seen dozens of apps that call themselves “educational,” but over time I realized that most of them have very little to do with real development.
- Some overwhelm children with complexity and confusing menus, while others frustrate parents with nonstop “buy now” pop-ups.
- So when we created New Rise Games, we took all of these issues into account.
The goal was simple — to build an app that truly supports a child’s development: intuitive, calm, free from unnecessary visual noise, yet filled with thoughtful tasks that strengthen attention, memory, logic, and problem-solving skills.
New Rise Games isn’t “just another app.” It’s a platform for the harmonious development of your child.
- The creation of New Rise Games took a year and a half — a journey built not only on time, but on heart.
- The first six months were dedicated to preparation: analyzing existing solutions, studying child development methodologies, building the game logic, and finding a team capable of bringing this idea to life.
- The following year was thousands of hours of work from developers and testers, and hundreds of hours of testing each individual game — which I personally played through again and again, refining even the smallest details.
It was long, challenging, and deeply inspiring.
- Every day I woke up with the same thought — I simply couldn’t allow myself not to build this product.
What kept me going was my belief in the bigger idea: to create a truly high-quality, honest, and meaningful developmental app.
- And today I can finally say — we did it.
And I am genuinely proud of every single game that has become part of New Rise Games.
In the end, here’s what I created:
An all-in-one learning app with games that truly teach kids to think.
- Born out of dozens of disappointments with apps that only shine brightly, yet don’t develop anything — and constantly ask for extra payments.
- Gradually increasing levels of difficulty, so a child’s brain is truly working, and a mother can finally feel at peace.
Just high-quality, calm, logical tasks — the kind that hold attention and genuinely develop.
- And now, when Yaroslava plays New Rise Games, I know:
she’s not just in front of a screen.
She’s thinking.
And I can finally feel calm.
