Little browser games for the phone, invented by Alisa, age 5, and built with a little help from Claude Code.
▶ Play at games.vreshch.com - no install, no account, no ads.
A 5-year-old cannot type code - but she can draw, talk, and play. That turns out to be enough:
- Alisa brings the requirements - usually a sketch drawn on paper.
- She dictates what the game should do to Claude Code through the microphone.
- Claude Code builds it; dad reviews the pull request and merges.
- Alisa plays it on the phone and dictates changes. Repeat until it is fun.
Every game on the site went through that loop. The result is a real production website: tested, deployed automatically, and open source - this repository is the whole thing.
| Scary Smile | Perot | Spranki | Crystal Rooms |
|---|---|---|---|

| Tap the smile through 7 stages until it is a monster. | Tap the parrot, say something; it squawks it back pitched up. | Beat toy - tap characters, each adds a looping voice. | 3D crystal caves - walk, collect letter keys, spell a word out loud. |
Privacy: Perot uses the microphone, but no audio ever leaves the device - the clip is played back locally and thrown away. Nothing is recorded, uploaded, or stored.
Next.js (App Router) + React + TypeScript strict + Tailwind CSS v4. The 3D game uses three.js via react-three-fiber; all sound is WebAudio-synthesized (no audio assets) and the letters are spoken with the Web Speech API. Unit tests are Vitest, the browser smoke is Playwright, both run in CI.

src/lib/games.ts - the home grid, sitemap, and page metadata pick it up.
Push to master. CI builds ghcr.io/vreshch/kids-games, deploys the kids-games Swarm stack
behind Traefik, then fails the run unless https://games.vreshch.com/health reports the
deployed commit. Never deploy by hand.
