About Goblinly

Goblinly is a playful game that helps kids learn how to think critically about information, especially when it comes from artificial intelligence. In the game, mischievous goblins give silly, smart, or suspicious answers to common homework questions. Players decide whether the answer makes sense and try to guess which goblin wrote it.

The goal isn’t just to “win.” It’s to pause, think, and ask: “Does this sound right?” It’s a fun way for children to learn how to spot mistakes, ask better questions, and build the confidence to challenge what they read or hear.

What Kids Learn

  • To think critically and question bad information
  • To practice reading carefully and looking for clues
  • To have fun while learning how AI works ...and how it can be wrong
  • To grow as confident, curious thinkers in any language

Teaching Critical Thinking

Tools like ChatGPT are becoming part of everyday life. But even adults struggle to know when these tools make mistakes. Goblinly gives kids a safe, low-pressure space to explore how AI works, and how it sometimes gets things hilariously wrong.

For Parents and Teachers

Goblinly is safe for children and does not allow them to enter personal information or create public profiles. All usernames are generated automatically using silly, friendly words. The game can be used at home or in the classroom, either as a warm-up activity, part of a digital literacy unit, or just for fun.

We believe learning to think clearly, ask good questions, and laugh along the way is one of the most important skills for the future. Goblinly is a small step toward building those habits.
