A blog turning into a game

Hi -

Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of one of the most comprehensive directories of kids educational games at RamoGames.com.

We’ve cataloged hundreds of games on the Internet and placed them into categories like geography, math, logic, and word. We’ve added useful metadata about each game and given users a chance to comment and rate them.

We’ve even built some of our own games including the especially fun geography map game, Asia GeoQuest (can you get 10/10 countries right?).

When talking to teachers and parents the past few months, we realized that there is no good resource for finding good quality educational games on the Internet. So we decided to put one together.

We’re still going to be forging ahead with developing our own games for kids, but RamoGames.com is a taste of what’s ahead.

Of course, the site is in beta, so we’d appreciate any feedback you have, including suggestions on games that we are missing.

Hi -

Phew, we just got WordPress installed on our machine and are ready to go. It is already late tonight (yes, even for start-up geeks), but we want to introduce ourselves with this first post.

We are a start-up in the San Francisco Bay Area that is building an engaging, educational game for kids. We think that parents and children should be rewarded with applications that leverage the rich interactivity of the Web today.

We are building products in the spirit of Learning 2.0, a term used by other start-ups looking to innovate within different parts of the education space, including Grockit and Education Revolution.

In Gujarati, the word “ramo” means “play”, and we think that the process of learning, especially for kids, should be fun.

So stay tuned!
