Try hyperPad

If you're using iPads in the classroom, you've probably asked:

“Can my students make games on these iPads, and actually publish them?”

Yes, they can! hyperPad is a no-code game development app built for iPad.

Why hyperPad Works for Classrooms

Designed for iPad: Students build and test everything directly on their iPads, with no PC or Mac needed to make the game.
No Coding Needed: Students build real games by dragging, dropping, and connecting Behaviors.
Ready for the App Store: Games made in hyperPad can be exported and submitted to the Apple App Store.
Fits a Game Dev Curriculum: Teach design, storytelling, logic, and art in one project.

App Store export comes with hyperPad, the paid app. hyperPad Starter is free and limited to one project. Schools get 50% off hyperPad through Apple School Manager, with Private Login for student accounts.

Real Publishing Power

Many beginner tools stop at in-app sharing. With hyperPad, students can put their games in front of real players. They can publish to the hyperPad Hub, and with a teacher's or parent's help, student teams can export their projects to the App Store and show their work beyond the classroom.

You can even run a school-wide game showcase or app release event. It builds pride, ownership, and real-world skills.

With hyperPad, your students can go from idea to App Store. They build the whole game on iPad. The final App Store upload happens in Xcode on a Mac.

Can Kids Make Games on iPad, and Actually Publish Them? Yes, With hyperPad

Most game-making apps for kids stop at fun. But what if your child could build a game on an iPad and publish it on the App Store?

That's what hyperPad makes possible.

Why hyperPad is Different

Made on iPad: Kids build and test their games without a laptop or extra equipment.
No Coding: Kids drag and drop Objects and connect Behaviors to make real games.
Built for Publishing: When they're ready, they can export their game and submit it to the Apple App Store. Export needs hyperPad (the paid app), and the final upload happens in Xcode on a Mac.
Creative Freedom: Your child can design platformers, story games, puzzles, and more, with their own art, music, and animation.

Imagine your child learning game design, finishing a real project, and proudly showing you their app on the App Store. That screen time turns into real skills, confidence, and creative expression.

Game dev for kids has never been this accessible.
