Squiggle was born out of watching my two young children trying – but struggling with – the strange new, awkward world of video calls during the Covid-19 pandemic. As a web developer I realised I could combine the classic pencil-and-paper games, such as tic-tac-toe, with video calls and provide a safe, secure space where loved ones can still play with, talk to and entertain the children in their lives, wherever they are in the world. My kids (and their grandparents) absolutely loved it. They'd happily play for hours instead of just an awkward five minutes on Zoom. They would really open up and chat; it was great for their wellbeing, social skills and connection to distant family. Through only word-of-mouth Squiggle has now been played all over the world. I've since added more games, such as chess and pictionary, and I'm working on new features and improvements all the time. Nothing can replace the physical time kids spend with their friends and families, but at a time when connection and hugs are so limited, I hope Squiggle can help. Dan
