FAQ
Questions from grown-ups
What ages is Critter Hollow for?
Ages 4–13, in three stages. Activities quietly adapt to each child, so younger players get more support and older players more challenge.
Is it safe?
Yes. No ads, no open chat, no outside links and no microphone, camera or location. Friends need approval from both families and can only send friendly preset phrases.
Does it need internet?
You can play offline once the game has loaded. Internet is used for cloud save, friends and some voice lines.
Which languages can my child learn?
Spanish, French, Hindi and Arabic, through the Hollow Passport. Hindi and Arabic show their own script plus an easy pronunciation guide.
Can siblings share?
Yes. Each child gets their own Hollow Keeper and progress, all under one parent area.
