Made for autistic children. Free for families.
Your child plays with Puddle the duck. You choose what they see and for how long. Play ends with a warning, then a quiet "All done".
12 favorite things to pick from. Suits children, teens and adults.
No sign-up needed. No card. Nothing to install.
Teacher or therapist? Schools and clinics, from $59 a year.
Every picture on this page is a real screen.
5 to 30 minutes, or no limit. You also choose which activities show. It all sits behind a PIN.
Nothing rushes them. When a game gets easy, Puddle asks first. Nothing changes unless your child taps Yes.
A small sign with one minute left. "Almost done" follows with ten seconds left.
A quiet screen, with Puddle asleep. The same ending every time, so your child learns what to expect.
Tap one. This is the real Memory game, as your child will see it.
Your child picks up to 3. Memory, Sort It, Math Race, Star Catch, Fast Pop, the Letter Board and a book all change to match. Favorite things are never locked, and never have to be earned.
Every game has 20 levels. The early ones suit a child just starting out. The Expert ones are hard enough for teens and adults. The look stays calm at every level.
Most apps for children are built to hold attention for as long as possible. This one is built to be calm.
Short, plain answers. If yours is not here, tell us.
Yes. Every game, book and calm space is free, and there is no sign-up. No card. No trial that turns into a bill. Licenses for schools and clinics, and our printables, help pay for it.
Nothing. Names, profiles and settings are saved on your own device. No page here has analytics or tracking on it. Read the privacy policy.
Set a play time in the grown-up area. Your child gets a warning with one minute left, another with ten seconds left, then a quiet "All done" screen.
That is your call, and you know your child. Many autistic children use a screen to unwind. Liquid Pond is made to be a calm break with a clear end.
Kids, teens and adults. Every game runs from first taps to Expert, so a young child just starting out and a teen or grown-up who wants a real challenge each land at the right level.
There are 35 activities. Every game has 20 levels, and there are 12 favorite things to switch between. What families tell us helps decide what we build next.
No. It is a calm activity. It does not replace therapy, and the talk buttons do not replace an AAC system.
A web browser, on a tablet, a phone, a laptop or a Chromebook. There is nothing to install. It works offline after the first visit.
These were small studies. The first looked at teaching and therapy sessions, not games. Neither one tested Liquid Pond. We use them as a starting point, not as proof. The slow pace, the quiet sound, the warnings and asking before any change are our own rules.
About 1 in 31 eight-year-olds in the communities the CDC tracks had been identified as autistic in 2022. In 2020 it was 1 in 36. Source: CDC ADDM Network, 16 sites, 2022 data, published April 2025.
Liquid Pond started with one boy. Our founder worked with children after high school and watched an autistic boy replay calming videos to settle himself. Those few quiet minutes helped him, so we began making more of them. The activities grew from the same idea.
No sign-up and nothing to install. Open it, pick a favorite, and see if it suits your child.
