A December tradition

A tiny mouse hides in your home every night until Christmas.

A grown-up hides Wink at bedtime. In the morning the kids go looking, and every day the hunt is a little different. No shelf, no props, nothing to forget on the counter.

How it works

Hide at night. Find in the morning.

Wink is a little mouse in a red scarf and flying goggles. For 24 nights, Wink sneaks into your home, and each morning the hunt begins.

A grown-up hides Wink

Snap a photo of a real spot in your home and tuck Wink behind the fruit bowl or up on a shelf. Or pick a room in Wink's cottage. Takes about a minute.

In the morning

The kids hunt for Wink

Wink leaves a note, and every morning brings a new kind of hunt. Shine a flashlight, rub the frost off a window, shake a snow globe, follow glowing paw prints, sprinkle magic dust, pop sparkle bubbles and more, until they spot that red scarf.

All day

A kindness mission earns a bell

Every find comes with a small kind thing to do, like a hug before lunch or a card for a neighbor. Finish it and a golden bell goes on Wink's scarf.

The magic, without the 11pm panic.

  • Hide from anywhere. Forgot until you were in bed? Hide Wink from your phone without getting up.
  • Autopilot for busy nights. If nobody hides Wink, Wink tucks into the cottage on their own by morning.
  • Take turns. Set whose night it is, and the app sends a gentle reminder.
  • Nothing to buy, break or lose. Wink lives in the app, so there's no doll to find at 6am.
Your family circle

Anyone you love can take a turn.

Send an invite link to the people in your kids' world: a co-parent across town, a grandparent three states away, a favorite aunt, a godparent, a family friend. A parent approves everyone who joins.

When someone far away hides Wink in a photo of their own home, the kids get to go looking in their house. They can send back a photo of the mission they finished, and grown-ups can leave voice notes and letters in Wink's kitchen mailbox.

Ring every bell. Call Santa's sleigh.

On Christmas Eve, the kids ring all the bells they earned, and Wink flies home with Santa. Every hide, letter and photo stays in the attic scrapbook to look back on next year.

Questions

When does Wink arrive?

You choose. Most families start on December 1, and Wink stays for 24 mornings until Christmas Eve. You can set the arrival date in the Grown-ups cupboard.

What age is it for?

It's made for kids around 3 to 10, with a grown-up nearby. Little ones love the easier hunts like paw prints and snow globes, and older kids like the trickier ones, the missions and writing back.

Can the kids use their own iPad?

Yes. Sign in on the iPad with the parent's account and choose that it's the kids' device. Wink greets them by name, and the grown-up side stays locked with your PIN.

We're a small family. Does it still work?

Absolutely. It works just as well with one grown-up and one kid. Inviting others is optional, and Autopilot covers the nights you need a break.

What about privacy?

Your photos and notes are only visible to the people a parent approves. No ads, no tracking, and nothing is ever sold. Read the privacy policy.

Is it on Android?

Not yet; the app is for iPhone and iPad. Family members you invite can join from any phone's web browser.
