You spoke and we listened!  Starting with the launch of Coding Jam in May 2017, we have transitioned all of the Osmo games to these new containers.

Osmo’s new and improved game piece storage containers are the result of tons of feedback from parents and educators alike. They are stackable, easy to clean, portable for playdates and trips to grandma’s house, and take up less shelf space at home and in the classroom!

We sell the new, colorful plastic stackable storage containers on our website for those customers who have the original cardboard/magnetic boxes and wish to upgrade. They are sold exclusively on playosmo.com/order in the section titled 'Add-ons & replacements'.

For reference, there are three different container options:

1. Genius Kit (Tangram, Words, Numbers) ($15 USD);
2. Coding Awbie ($8 USD);
3. Pizza Co ($8 USD).

We hope you like them, and welcome feedback any time to support@playosmo.com.

No, neither the Osmo hardware (base & reflector) nor software is compatible with the iPad Pro 11-inch.

Here is a complete list of Osmo-compatible devices:

https://support.playosmo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115010156067-What-devices-is-Osmo-compatible-with-

The key new features of the new iPad base are:

• works with the custom-designed Speck case (and the classic base doesn't);
• is more stable;
• works in landscape mode to double as an iPad stand.

If you own the classic iPad base, know that it works with ALL the Osmo games (including the newest games), so there's no reason to replace it unless you want to order the compatible iPad Speck case.

Both the new iPad base and the Speck case are available for purchase on our website:

https://www.playosmo.com/order

All Osmo Kits for iPad sold on our website now include the new iPad base, not the classic base.

Yes! Osmo is compatible with the ZAGGInvisibleShield, or any similar screen protectors that have the same or less thickness, and don't cover the edges of the device. Screen protectors that are thicker than the ZAGGInvisibleShield, or cover some of the device edges, are not compatible with Osmo. 

The classic Osmo iPad Base has been designed to hold the iPad at the ideal angle for our computer vision software to facilitate the best playing experience. The classic Osmo Base has two angle options for different iPad models. Be sure yours is set up with the correct angle by checking the models listed on the base inserts. You'll find details on setting up your classic Osmo Base on our setup video here.

Osmo sells lowercase/uppercase Words tiles exclusively on our website, and they are found in the add-on game section, under the name 'Genius Words':

Note that when you use these tiles, letters in the Words app are displayed in both upper and lower case, as appropriate. (When you use our classic tiles, letters are always displayed in upper case).

Masterpiece, Monster and Newton don’t require any special pieces, they can be played with a pen and paper or a whiteboard. However, we recommend our Creative Set for the best experience with those three apps.

Yes, all of our apps are built with the utmost care for kids to use. Most of our games are certified by the kidSAFE® Seal Program. The rest of the games will also be certified, but the certification process takes time.

The kidSAFE® Seal Program is an independent certification service and seal program that reviews and certifies the safety practices of children-friendly websites and applications, including kid-targeted game sites, virtual worlds, social networks, PC and mobile apps, web-connected devices, and other similar online and interactive products. You can read a bit about the program here. Search for Osmo on their search page to see which Osmo games are certified. Thanks, kidSAFE®!

We recommend washing the marker pouch that comes with the Creative Set/Monster game by hand with soap and water. 

Please contact us at support@playosmo.com to obtain a replacement.

In the United States, the Creative Set is $49 USD.

Orders shipping to countries outside the U.S. are mostly priced in the local currency, and may or may not include applicable duties and taxes. For some countries, orders are priced in U.S. Dollars (USD). It's important to change the country on the order page or shopping cart accordingly, so that the correct price populates.  

The Creative Set for Monster (also enhancing your experience with Masterpiece and Newton) is available for purchase worldwide on our website (separately and as part of several of our kits): https://playosmo.com/en/shopping/. 

It is also available through many of the retailers listed here: https://playosmo.com/en/retail/

Please only use dry erase or liquid chalk markers on the Creative Board.

Based on customer feedback, products such as Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (https://www.mrclean.com/en-us/shop-products/magic-erasers/magic-eraser-original) and Windex work great for cleaning the board. 

If they do NOT work, or if these products are not readily available, here are some other options:

1. Vinegar and water solution
2. Peroxide
3. 99% or 90% Isopropyl alcohol
4. Hand sanitizer

If for any reason that does not work in your case, please do let us know so that we can take the appropriate corrective action. 

It is possible to play Masterpiece, Monster and Newton without our Creative Board, however, the Creative Board is optimized for the Osmo vision platform and an optimal gaming experience. If you use another board or paper, the game experience may not be optimal.

Yoobi markers can be purchased in retail stores, such as Target.

Alternatively, any dry erase marker will work as well.

The Creative Set for Monster, Masterpiece, and Newton includes:

• Creative Board
• a set of dry-erase markers
• red pouch

The dry-erase markers are indeed washable and do not stain. 

The markers included in the Creative Set should last for a long time (unless of course the user is a prolific artist!), but if they run out of their special washable ink, you can always purchase any dry-erase markers from your local shop.

The Creative Set for Monster, Masterpiece, and Newton includes:

• Creative Board
• a set of dry-erase markers
• red pouch

The Yoobi markers do work, we promise! Just follow these steps: before using the markers for the first time, with the cap still on, gently shake the marker for a few seconds to mix the ink. Then, press the marker tip against the board surface until the ink begins to flow. If not flowing yet, repeat.

This may happen because of the over-saturation of the marker tip from pushing down on the marker too many times. You may simply need to blot the marker tip on a paper towel to remove the excess ink. If that doesn't help, please write us at support@playosmo.com.

The Super Studio games (Mickey & Friends, Princess, Incredibles 2 and Frozen 2) all use WET erase markers.  Using any other kind of marker will ruin the SketchPad. Need or want more of these markers? Osmo sells an expansion pack of Super Studio markers on our website here.

The Monster game and Creative Set use DRY erase markers. Need more markers? Osmo uses Yoobi brand markers, however, any dry erase marker will work just fine.

If you lose or break an iPad red reflector, you may purchase a new one on our website (at the bottom of the page, under 'Accessories'). Prices start at $10 USD.

GAME PIECES
All game pieces can be gently wiped with a damp cloth if they get dirty.

If the pieces are made of cardboard, please be careful not to soak the cardboard. 

Other pieces can be gently wiped as well. Try not to let anything inside the movable pieces (in the Coding games).

Here are more specific instructions for some of the products.

Creative Board

Only use dry erase or liquid chalk markers on the Creative Board.

Creative Set Marker Pouch

Hand wash with soap and water.

Coding Blocks

Coding blocks are not dishwasher safe. Gently clean with wet wipe.

Detective Agency
If you accidentally spill liquids or water on the Detective Agency maps, towel dry the maps carefully, thoroughly and quickly to ensure no damage occurs. Pay special attention to the edges of the maps, which are more vulnerable to water damage.

Note that any kind of dry erase, wet erase, or other markers will permanently stain and ruin the maps.

Stackable Storage

The containers are not made of food grade plastic. Do not use them for food storage.

You can hand wash them with soap and water.

Sticks and Rings

Sticks and Rings may slightly distort after playing or storage. To reshape, bend the piece back to its original position.

Sticks and Rings are BPA-free and dishwasher safe, top rack. A nylon mesh bag is recommended to keep the pieces together.

Super Studio Booklets and Super Sweepers

Use only Super Studio markers with your notebook. Other art supplies will permanently stain the Super SketchPad.

The marker contains magic ink that will disappear over time. If the marker leaves stains, clean with rubbing alcohol.

Prepare the Super Sweeper by lightly dampening and wringing out. Have a paper towel handy to wipe excess water. 

You can hand wash the Super Sweeper with soap and water.
