Osmo Monster is a magical creative experience. You can help Mo, your furry orange friend, create his world in this interactive storybook. Draw a magic wand for Mo, and he'll use it to bring all your other creations into his world!

Since the computer vision and detection systems for Monster are optimized for use with the custom designed, high quality Creative Board and dry erase or liquid chalk markers, we highly recommend purchasing the Creative Set to accompany the Monster game. Note that the Creative Set will also enhance the player's experience with Newton and Masterpiece.

The Creative Set is available for sale on our site playosmo.com and on amazon.com.

Here is our PDF guide to the Osmo Monster app:

Monster doesn't require any special pieces, it's played with markers and paper or a whiteboard. Just download the free app and start playing:

For the best possible play experience, we recommend playing with the Osmo Creative Set.

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

• Creative Board
• a set of dry-erase markers
• fuzzy blue pouch
• erasing cloth

Mo is looking for kids aged 4-9 years old to play with in Osmo Monster.

Monster teaches drawing skills and builds creative confidence.

Monster brings your drawings to life! Each item you draw for Mo (our monster) is magically pulled into his world. Together create animated activities to share with family and friends. Monster is designed for kids aged 4-9.

Did you know that there is an in-app manual to help you get acquainted with Monster? It can be accessed via the Settings menu, under Manual. This guide introduces all the game play and game mechanics.

We also have a PDF guide to the Monster app here:

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

It is also included in several of our kits (currently only sold through other retailers). Find our kits at a retailer near you: https://playosmo.com/en/retail/

You may see shadows next to the drawings in Monster if your room is poorly lit. The best way to get rid of the shadows is to add additional room lighting.

If this doesn't help, it is possible that there is another issue. Please write us at support@playosmo.com with pictures of your setup and the captured drawings with shadows so we can provide further help.

Monster, like all of our apps, is available to download from the App store free of charge. And like most of our other apps, it requires game play pieces to ensure a great game experience.

With the release of Monster, we've introduced a custom designed and engineered board with a very high quality surface that will not stain.

Note too that the Creative Board fits neatly against the Osmo stand, ensuring that there's limited movement and that the hardware stays aligned during play.

In Osmo Monster, your child's drawings become part of magical animated stories with the help of Mo, a furry orange friend. Each item drawn for Mo is magically imported into his world. And every animated story can be saved to replay for family and friends.

The Osmo Masterpiece is a free-form tool that helps you create your own art. 

Mo the Monster speaks in English and Spanish! And it doesn't use Siri for pronunciation at this time. Regardless the default language of the iPad, players will have the ability to select either English or Spanish by clicking the gear in the upper left hand corner of the iPad. Both the language of Mo's voice, as well as the language in the speech bubble can be selected from these two languages.

For all other languages, the "Asks" themselves (the words in the top right corner that Mo asks you to draw) are localized into your iPad's default language.

We plan to localize the Monster game into other languages besides English and Spanish in the future, and would be happy to send you an email once it's available in your language. Kindly fill out this form here if interested:

The gallery becomes available after you complete at least one magic show.

If you go into the gallery in Monster, you will see two buttons below every old show.

The Replay button (which looks like a VCR play button) plays the show back, without asking for drawings. The Redraw button (which looks like a pencil) makes a copy of the show and asks for new drawings.

If you just press the Play button on the main menu, Mo makes a new random show.

In Monster, if you keep going, every play-through will be different.

You can redesign any room with the Paint Roller icon if you want, but if you really want to clear images, the easiest way is to delete the app and reinstall, this will wipe all saved images.

Alternatively, you can go to your player profile in myOsmo, and reset your progress there. To do that, go to https://my.playosmo.com/, click on your name in the top right corner and select "Profiles" from the dropdown menu. Then select the player profile that you want to reset progress on.

If you have many players (such as in a school setting), we know this is not the most ideal situation, and we're working on adding in a manual reset that should come in a future version.

After playing with Monster, your magic show (and other future activities) are saved in a great shareable video that is fun to show the whole family! If you've played Masterpiece, it is similar to that time lapse video.

There are over 60 different individual creation activities, each magic show is made of 7, and so there are over a million possible magic show variations. That is, if you only ever want to do each of these creations once. We've found that most kids find some that they want to do over and over and over again. We also plan to release two more entire activities beyond the magic show (as free updates, no new hardware required).

Technically yes, but we really don't recommend playing without sound. Mo has lots to say to his dear Osmonauts and wants to be heard! If you're in a public place, you can play with headphones on.

Check that your sound switch is not on vibrate mode (the switch next to the volume controls) and the volume is turned up. Still having issues? Try closing the app and restarting it.

Please ensure you are using an Osmo Creative Board and that it is clear of residue, otherwise Monster might think the residue is part of the drawing. Ensure things besides the drawing (like hands) are outside of vision. You should also make sure the board has been wiped clean between each drawing.

If you continue to experience difficulty with the iPad seeing what's in front of it, please contact the Customer Experience Team at support@playosmo.com.

We are always updating all of our games, so please stay tuned via social media and be sure you're on our email list! It's also good practice to keep all your Osmo apps updated, so that you always have access to the newest content.

We don't want to give anything away yet, but let's just say they will make for a great story!

Any time an app crashes, it's good practice to close other open apps (double tap home button and swipe the windows up to close them). Also please try reinstalling the Monster app and restarting the iPad. If it doesn't help, please write us at support@playosmo.com with your iPad model number. You can find the model number printed on the back of your iPad.
