A small collection, made for exploring.
BFC Labs creates and maintains The Sandbox: twelve free browser games about numbers, money, maps, logic, words, and a little garden. We build the interactive activities and their instructions so players can try an idea, see what changes, and try again.
What you can expect
The six math games and Pocket Money focus on practice around ages 6–9. Our other games suit different reading and puzzle experience; an adult can help choose a comfortable starting point. We offer written instructions, optional read-aloud, hints, and untimed play. These activities are not formal assessments, and a badge does not certify a learning outcome.
Keeping the collection useful
We revise controls, explanations, and small-screen layouts when we find confusing steps or broken behavior. We check game rules and navigation before publishing changes. Adult checks do not establish how well a particular child will understand or enjoy a game.
Contact & support
Adults can email ward.nicholas@gmail.com with a question, accessibility problem, or broken link. Include the game name, what you expected, and the device or browser if relevant. Please omit children’s names, contact details, and other personal information. The optional in-game Feedback button also accepts problem reports; please omit personal information there too.
Recent improvements
October 11, 2026: expanded the game guides with worked examples and skill choices, refreshed the twelve-game directory, and clarified ownership and support. Earlier October improvements added clearer touch controls and hosted read-aloud recordings for supported instructions.
