How Detail detective supports your child’s development

Detail detective turns the illustrations from the Mora books into an observation challenge. It is a short game, perfect for playing together and talking about the answers. Here we explain which skills it trains, how to support your child while they play and how to bring observation into everyday life.

How to play

Your child picks a level and a case. For a few seconds they see an illustration from the Mora books and try to notice everything they can. When time runs out, the picture disappears and they answer questions about what they saw: colors, objects, places and how the characters felt. At the end they can look at the picture again and check their answers.

What they are learning

The game trains observation and visual memory: noticing details and recalling them later. That is the foundation for reading comprehension, following instructions and solving problems. Questions about emotions, like "how did the little strawberry feel?", also invite them to read other people’s expressions, a key skill for empathy.

Ideas to keep going at home

  • Play detective at home: look at a room for ten seconds, close your eyes and say everything you remember.
  • When reading a story, cover the illustration and ask what was in it.
  • Move an object while they are not looking and let them find what changed.
  • Ask how they think the characters in a picture feel, and why.

Connection to the books

Each case is a scene from the Mora books: a movie night, a music store, a picnic in the park. After playing, find the scene in the book and read together what was happening: it’s a fun way to go back to the story and discover new details.

Discover the books

A tip from Mora: play together for a short while, 5 to 10 minutes, and talk when you finish. Screens work best as a starting point for family conversations rather than as a solo activity: real learning happens in the conversation, which is the heart of the Mora method.
