Biba for Schools‪!‬1.4 - App Store

Biba for Schools is a fun collection of free games built for teachers to play with students on the playground! Biba games turn screen-time on its head, encouraging social and imaginative gameplay that get kids physically active and OUT OF THEIR SEATS!

Each Biba game presents an imaginative game premise that gets kids naturally active:

- In Biba Cops and Robbers, up to 10 kids compete either as a robber (who need to use equipment and bring their loot back to the iPad) or a cop (who need to tag and bring robbers back to the iPad's Jail).
- In Biba Zombats, kids play a digital take on Zombie Tag where the iPad is the safehouse!

Biba for Schools comes with the following:

-Cops and Robbers (up to 10, ages 6-9)
-Zombot Tag (up to 10, ages 6-9)

and a collection of some of our phone game classics for smaller groups:

-Dino Dig (1-2 players, ages 3-6)
-Drive (1-4 players, ages 4-6)
-Relay (2 players, ages 6-9)

HELPING BALANCE SCREEN TIME
We know that balancing screen-time can be tough! That's why Biba games seek to use screens to get parents and kids engaging in outdoor and active experiences on their local playground. No sitting around staring at screens, in Biba games, kids ARE the avatars!

EASY TO PLAY
Biba games are simple to play and designed to re-imagine play for children, breaking kids away from sedentary video game experiences and getting them outside where the real fun happens.

DRIVING KID’S IMAGINATIONS
A whole new category of imagination-driven games that bring back the basic joy of play, blending digital interaction with the real world physical activity that kids need!

ACTIVE AND OUTDOOR
Biba games are intended specifically to get kids participating in what the World Health Organization refers to as “moderate-to-vigorous physical activity”--games that elevate heart rate and encourage consistent movement. We encourage the use of Biba for teachers or instructors who are trying to get their kids more active in the wake of cuts to physical education time.

And don’t forget - Biba games are often wacky and unconventional, so for the best experience, please remember to agree to camera and microphone permissions when asked for!

Version 1.4
A few new features and bug fixes in this version!

-For those participating in the Healthy School Challenge, your school's data should send more reliably now when the game is off and your device is on wi-fi. Just remember to not fully exit the game from your task manager if you are participating in the challenge or your data may be lost!
-We have fixed a few bugs and updated some visual elements in the games themselves. This includes new scanning options for unlocking new Safehouses in Zombot Tag and new Treasures to steal for Cops and Robbers.
-We have added a new 'Zombot Victory' button for those playing Zombot Tag! This is for those instances when the zombies have clearly won the game, but there's no way to otherwise conclude the game without waiting out the timer. So now if all players are zombies, teachers can now just press 'Zombot Victory' to skip to the end state rather than wait for the timer to finish!

There are a few other bug fixes in there as well. But remember, please reach out to us if there are any other features or fixes you'd like to see!
