Hello, everyone! This is Mac from Enfani. Today I’m going to talk about the school childcare facility that I planned and produced.
Mirai Gakko “DaVinci-Box” is a 21st century school childcare facility launched by ZIG-ZAG together with my company as a value creation type edutainment school childcare facility that nurtures the kids’ ability to create the future. The service started from the summer holiday period of elementary school in July 2018.
今年の上野の森親子フェスタで大人気だった、ツヤツヤでかわいい「Checkie! マグネット」（チェキマグ）、ただ今絶賛準備中ですが、今日はその風景をちょこっとお見せします。
つい先日App Storeの「今日のAPP」に選ばれたアプリCheckie! のアイテムリクエストや、あんふぁにメンバーを対象に行った、チェキマグにしてほしいアイテムのアンケートの結果をもとに、アイテムを選定しています。
使ってみたい／あったら便利なもの
1位 上履き
2位 体操服
2位 水着
2位 ハンカチ・ティッシュ
2位 フキダシ
6位 水筒
6位 手紙
8位 手提げ袋
8位 時計（黄色）
10位 時計（青）
10位 学校
10位 本
ということで、人気のアイテムは把握できました。他にも、アプリでよく使われるアイテムなども考慮しています。
デザインをさらにアップデートして可愛くしました。上野の森では、とにかくかわいいから選んでくれた人がたくさんいたので、更に多くの人に魅力が伝わるように色と形を今風にしています。
パッと見てすぐわかるようにデザインしていますが、背景に色をつけてみました。こうすると、色で記憶してアイコンを区別しやすくなります。これは絶対、お子さんも自ら使いたがるでしょう。自己管理を芽生えさせる知育おもちゃとしても使えそうですよ。
アンケートによると、お子さんの年齢によって使うアイテムがかなり変わるということもわかりました。マグネットはかなりしっかりできているのですが、買ってしまっても次の年には使わなかったり、ということもありそうです。
そこで、自由意見の中に
「必要な物だけ選べたら嬉しいです。もしくは、マグネット五個セットにシールで、子供の生活環境の変化に合わせて張り替えられるなどもいいと思います。」
というアイデアを出した方がいて（ありがとうございます！）、「シールありかも」ということで、シールでテストしてみることにしました。
シールにしてみてびっくり、水性マジックで書いてもしっかり消えるし、カラフルな色の仕上がりもバッチリ！ マグネットよりも割安にできるし、お子さんの年齢やライフスタイルに合わせて使う分のシールをマグネットに張り替えていけば、ずーっと使えそうです！
チェキマグの使い方やアイテムのアンケートなど、サイト内にコミュニティをつくってみんなでアイデアをシェアできるようにしていきます。
「こんなアイテムが欲しい」
「こんな使い方がある！」
といった声を、どんどん聞かせてください！
また、チェキマグがより便利に使える台紙をサイト内から無料でダウンロードできるようにしていきます。

Like a sandbox or LEGO blocks, I want a digital space where you can demonstrate your creativity freely!
Hello. This is Mac, CEO of Enfani. I have seen a lot of cases where children and adults have been addicted to games for many, many hours. Perhaps there are a lot of those people around you (I was so, too), but will the time spent (and money) for the games be utilized in the future? I doubt it. Isn’t it necessary for children to become more able to act by thinking on their own and to open up new paths by themselves instead of walking on the prepared path? I have been thinking about such a thing for a long time.
So, Enfani will open Online Creative Amusement Park “SUM! Land” you can play on the web!
Thanks a lot for submitting great artworks for our “FATHER’S DAY LETTER+ART CONTEST”!
Today we announce the 10 greatest works that won our cute tin badges.
SUM! – Math with Cute Numbers! was featured as “Today’s App” in iOS App Store in Japan on May 9th!
Ueno Book Festa 2018 was over! Lots of kids and parents visited our booth to enjoy drawing and our new items. Our staff had a great time with you all. It was really nice meeting you! Thank you very much!!
SUM! is a very simple game. Make as many 10s as you can! That’s it.
Find a combination to make a 10. Drag one ball to the other. When a 10 is made, it’ll disappear.
Tap a ball twice and it splits into 2 balls.
When the screen is full of balls, the game is over.
Little kids can play SUM! almost as well as adults, so it’s a great game to enjoy competing together.
SUM! has been very popular since its release in 2016 and it ranked No.1 as a paid app for kids (5-8) in the App Store in Japan (June 2016).
“A Cute and Brilliant Approach to Introducing Early Math Concepts”
– Geeks With Juniors
Combo is a technique to make 10s consecutively, without splitting balls or making other numbers. Keep making 10s and you get the score doubled, tripled until 10 times higher than the usual 10 points.
Throughout the game, when the big numbers like 7 to 9 appear, it is dangerous because they take up lots of space! So it is the most popular combo tips to keep small numbers in stock from 1 to 3 so when large figures appear, you can add them to those large ones quickly so you get more combos easily. Try it!
When a ball falls from above, it shouts its own number. As you get used to the voices, you will be able to figure out which number has appeared even if you don’t see it and you can find a pair that makes 10 very quickly. This technique is not known very much, but many of the people who get super high scores listen to the sounds of the characters.
You can earn good points with combos, but you cannot keep going forever. You have to give up the combo and make other figures when you get lots of balls in the screen. The background of the game screen is divided into four blue areas. This is to make it easy for you to know the point of danger “if the figure comes up to here, it is dangerous”. Users who score more than 10,000 points often seem to give up combos when the balls accumulate in the second area from the top, but until your score reaches that high, it is good to make it up to around the middle.
Because all characters are round, gaps are made as you stack them up, but in fact you can fill small balls in these gaps. If you do not want to waste any space at all, try to fill in the gaps with small numbers stacked on top. Though it’s just a little, you can create some new space above!
As of June 23rd, 113,370 points are the highest score! Recently, everyone’s level is coming up, records are steadily updating. Check out the game center!
Keep playing SUM!, and you will be able to find a pair that makes 10 at a glance. There is a fun blog post written by a mom of a first grader of elementary school who plays with SUM! every day, saying the speed of the calculation went up!
「日に日に計算スピードアップ」(blog in Japanese)
For younger children who cannot catch up with speed of the game, they can play with character introduction movies, where number characters do funny dances. Tap them to enjoy two kinds of animation for each.
In the update on 1st June, new animations of the characters were added. If you haven’t seen the movies for a while, please try it!
You can now see the whole animations on the website, too! (Recommended to see on desktop PC)

SUM! has been awarded three international design awards:
Red dot communication award 2016
Digital Picture Book Award 2017
Muse Creative Award -Platinum 2016
And it will evolve even more!
When you pause the game, you see a sleeping character in the middle of the screen. Try tap it!
Try these techniques and let me know if you find any new ones!!
Hi Everyone!
The picture book we used in the picture book Ueno Festa in Tokyo last month is now live as an online flip book! (It looks better on a desktop PC than a smartphone.)
If you joined the Ueno festa and created drawings with us, they will also be available for viewing as a digital picture book soon. (Sorry, we’re still working on it!)
Stay tuned!
