Peppa Pig’s Party TIme

Overview

Fans of Peppa the Pig will love helping Peppa organize a party. Seven games walk your child through each step of planning a party, having fun, and remembering the good times.

  • No in-game purchases or data mining
  • Several multi-player games
  • Available in 6 languages

Quality

If this was not based on an existing property with an established look and sound, some might think the quality was lacking. However, both the animation and the narration are identical to those of the cartoon. As a result, the level of quality shoots through the roof.

Education

There are zero educational aspects to this app. Of the seven levels, three are purely design games, another three are party games, and the last is placing party photographs in an album. It would have been nice to add small educational pieces into the games. Perhaps they could count the number of stickers they put on the invitations or turn musical chairs into a letter-matching game. If you are looking for education, you will have to turn elsewhere.

Entertainment

All seven games are rather enjoyable. The first three games allow you to design the invitations for Peppa’s party, create the party bags for the guests, and make and decorate the party cake. After the guests have arrived, the next three games are actual party games. Pass The Parcel is fairly similar to Hot Potato, Musical Chairs brings back a classic party game, and Pinata has the guests pull hanging ties to relieve the pinata of its delicious candy. All three of these games have multi-player aspects. Finally, you place the party photographs into a keepsake album. Each of the games has its own fun bits that children would enjoy.

Value

It is difficult to place a value on this game. While it is very fun to play, there are only seven levels and one of those levels is putting photographs in a book. There is also a rather low level of replayability. On the plus side, three of the games have the ability for multi-player so kids might have a bit of fun with their friends. If your child isn’t a fan of Peppa Pig already, the game might get quite boring rather quickly.

Child Friendliness

The game is a P2 Kid Safe App, meaning there are absolutely no in-game purchases or data gathering systems. A few of the games are designed to accommodate multiple players. If a child tries to play all four characters alone, they will likely have trouble reaching the controls. However, that doesn’t effect the child-friendliness of the game very much.
