Post OfficePost Office
Sort the parcels, wrap them, bring them to the animals
A child runs a small post office with Hoot the owl and Pip the pigeon. Parcels, letters and toys wait on a belt and go into crates by colour, size, shape, stamp or the animal on the tag. Then comes a station such as the wrap table, and the day ends with a delivery round to five animal houses.

About the game
Post Office is a sorting game without a clock. The belt moves only when the child places an item, so there is as much time to look and think as anyone needs. An item that goes to the wrong crate bounces back onto the belt and the crate gives a little shake. After two tries the right crate starts to pulse.
Each day has three short shifts. First comes sorting on the belt by one rule, shown as a picture card in the corner. Then a station: a second sort, the wrap table, the stamp table or the loading dock. Last, a delivery round through a village where every parcel carries a picture of the animal it is for. The first day asks for two colours and two crates. By day 20 there are five crates, a shelf with nine places, rules that change at the ring of a bell and rules the child has to work out from examples.
What is inside
Sorting on the belt
The card at the top left shows today's rule, for example three drops of paint for colour. Each crate has a label: a colour dot, a small or large box, a shape, a stamp, an animal face or a house. The child drags the front item from the belt to its crate, or taps the crate. Dots at the top count the items, 8 on the first days and up to 12 later.
As days go by the items differ in more ways than the rule asks about. A belt sorted by stamp may carry parcels of every colour and size, and the child has to look only at the stamp.
- Mystery rule: the rule card shows a question mark and each crate shows example items instead of a label.
- Bell twist: halfway through, a bell rings and the crates switch to a second rule.
- Order card: a small card asks for up to three items of one kind and pays 10 extra coins.
Four stations
The second shift changes from day to day. At the wrap table the child wraps plain parcels: one of four papers, one of four bows, a strip of tape pulled across, and a name tag with an animal. Some parcels come with an order card that shows which paper, bow and tag to use.
At the stamp table six letters and parcels lie on the table and a card shows which stamp is wanted; the child picks it from the rack and presses it on. At the loading dock parcels go into the van, the delivery bike or the hot-air balloon, depending on which houses each one serves. On other days the station is a second belt with a different rule.
Delivery to the animal houses
The last shift is a village with five houses: a burrow, a cabin, a barn, a tree house and a pond house. Two animals live in each, and their faces are shown next to the door. Every parcel has an animal tag. The child drags it to the right house, the animal pops out and a heart is added to that friendship.
Parcels the child wrapped earlier in the day turn up here again, with the paper and bow they chose.
Days, stars and a good night
The day map is a path of postcards. Each shows the day number and three small icons for its shifts. After a shift the child gets one to three stars and coins; three stars usually bring a surprise parcel with a toy sticker inside. When the third shift is done the lights go down, Hoot falls asleep and a Good night card adds up the day, up to nine stars. That is a natural place to stop.
Days 1 to 20 are made by hand. After that the game goes on with new days built from the same parts.
The album
The album has four pages. Stamps shows the 10 stamps and how often each has been used, with three levels each. Friends shows the 10 animals with up to five hearts, earned by delivering to them. Toys is a grid of 48 toy stickers, 8 toys in 6 colours. Postcards holds 12 cards the child makes in a small studio by placing stickers on a coloured card.
Free table and two players
The free table is sorting without days or scores. The child picks any of the 10 rules and the number of crates, and the belt never runs out. One rule exists only here: little bells sorted by a low, middle or high note. With the 2 players button two children take turns at the same belt and each gets a point for an item placed.
The shop
Coins from the shifts are spent on looks only: 7 belt colours, 8 room colours, 4 crate colours, 6 hats for Hoot and 3 for Pip. A seven-day gift calendar on the title screen adds coins, a toy sticker, a room colour and a party hat. A missed day waits; nothing is lost.
How to play
- Tap Play and choose the next day on the map.
- Look at the rule card in the corner and at the labels on the crates.
- Drag the front item from the belt to its crate, or tap the crate.
- Finish the station of the day: wrap, stamp, load or sort again.
- Bring each parcel to the house of the animal on its tag.
- Collect stars, coins and a surprise parcel, then say good night to Hoot.
- Look at the album, make a postcard, or open the free table for sorting without scores.

For parents
Your child looks at an item, decides which feature matters today and puts it where it belongs. That is the whole game, shown from many sides: it practises sorting by colour, size, shape, picture and by who lives where. There is no timer and no failure. A wrong crate sends the item back and after two tries the right crate pulses.
The first days are gentle, with two or three crates and one feature at a time. The later ones ask the child to ignore features that do not matter, to follow a rule that changes when a bell rings and to work out a hidden rule from examples. If that is too much, Easy mode in the settings keeps every belt to three crates and leaves the twists out. A shift takes two to three minutes and a full day about eight, ending with a Good night screen that makes a calm stopping point.
Reading is not needed: rules, labels and orders are pictures. The parents corner in the settings shows how many items were sorted and how many were right the first time. These numbers stay on the device.
Post Office is fully offline. It has no ads, no purchases, no account, no chat and no links out, asks for no Android permissions and collects nothing. Coins are earned by playing and spent on colours and hats. There are 20 interface languages, picked from the device language and changeable from the globe on the title screen, and a sound button on every play screen. All sound is synthesised.
Questions and answers
What age is Post Office for?
Children of 3 to 9. Day 1 is two colours and two crates. Later days add more crates, a nine-place shelf and changing rules, and Easy mode keeps things simple for the youngest.
Is there a timer or a way to lose?
No. The belt moves only when an item is placed, and a wrong choice sends the item back to try again. Every shift ends with at least one star.
Does my child need to read?
No. Rules, crate labels, orders and house signs are all pictures. Text appears only on menu buttons, in the device language.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The game has no network code and asks for no Android permissions.
Are there ads or purchases?
No. Belt, room and crate colours and hats are bought with coins earned in play. Nothing is sold for money.
How long is a session?
One shift takes two to three minutes and a day of three shifts about eight. The game remembers the shift reached, so a day can be finished later.
Can two children play together?
Yes. The free table has a 2 players button: both sort at the same belt in turns and each has a point counter.
