We are focused on unlocking the potential of play during early development, introducing DardaCats to inspire children to explore and freely express themselves.

We came together in 2020 to answer a simple question: how can adults and children communicate more openly? From the very start, our goal was to spark meaningful discussions through play.

Fun fact: DardaCats comes from the word "dardacha" which means conversation.

We worked closely with child specialists, educators, and families, testing and refining the game to make sure it truly worked. DardaCats resonated across different situations—from everyday challenges like bedtime worries and bullying to bigger life changes like moving homes or loss.

Within two hours, we reached our initial Kickstarter goal, and by the end of the campaign, we had raised 734% of our target! This incredible support allowed us to produce our game, building on the early prototypes that families and specialists had already tested and loved.

What started as a passion project has grown into homes, schools, and centres around the world! DardaCats is helping families, educators and child specialists strengthen communication, build emotional literacy, and create safe spaces for big feelings—one playful conversation at a time.

From the beginning, we’ve partnered with institutions, NGOs, and non-profits to provide families from all backgrounds with simple, practical tools to help them navigate emotions, challenges, and everyday life—no matter their circumstances.

Whether in group settings or one-on-one sessions, we also work with local organisations to support emotional well-being and development through play.
