What is Explorer Tales?
A quiet, evolving adventure through the countries of the world. Part atlas, part travel companion, part personal story — designed for curious minds who enjoy exploring at their own pace.
Is Explorer Tales free?
Yes. The core adventure is free to play. If you love the project you can support it, but nothing essential is behind a paywall.
Do I need an account?
No. You can start playing straight away. An optional account exists if you want to keep your journey safe across devices.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. Explorer Tales is designed mobile-first, for a phone in your pocket or on a bedside table.
Can I install it like an app?
Yes. Explorer Tales is a Progressive Web App — you can add it to your home screen from your browser and open it like any other app.
Can I continue my journey later?
Of course. Your progress is saved automatically on your device, so the world is exactly where you left it when you come back.
Can I replay a country?
Yes. You can revisit countries whenever you feel like spending more time with them.
Can I change the language?
Yes. Explorer Tales is written natively in English, French and Spanish. You can switch languages from the settings.
Are there advertisements?
No. No banner ads, no tracking pixels, no autoplay videos. Your attention is treated with respect.
Can children play Explorer Tales?
Yes. It is calm, non-violent and genuinely educational. Younger players may enjoy exploring together with an adult.
Do I need to actually travel to play?
Not at all. Explorer Tales is a journey of the mind. If you do travel, it can accompany you, but travelling is never required.
Does it work offline?
The main experience works without a connection once loaded. Some optional features may need the internet.
Will my data be sold?
No. Personal data is not sold, rented or shared with advertisers. Your journey belongs to you.
How long does a session take?
As long or as short as you want. A few minutes is enough; a long evening also feels right. There is no timer.
What happens as I progress?
Your adventure continues to grow as you make discoveries. Some experiences are intentionally left for players to find naturally.
Are there hidden things to find?
There are quiet surprises along the way. We prefer to let you meet them in their own time.
Is Explorer Tales finished?
It is fully playable today, and it continues to grow. The atlas is alive, and new details appear over time.
Will new content be added?
Yes. The world keeps unfolding — new questions, new places to notice, new little moments.
How often should I come back?
Whenever you feel like it. The adventure rewards a steady, unhurried presence more than intense sessions.
Do I lose progress if I stop playing?
No. There are no streaks to break and no penalties for taking time away.
Can I play on more than one device?
Yes, with an optional account your journey can follow you between devices.
Is there a leaderboard?
No. Explorer Tales is a personal journey, not a competition.
How do I contact the team?
The Contact page has the details. We read every message, and we appreciate thoughtful feedback.
How can I report an issue?
The Report page explains how to send us a bug or a piece of travel information that seems off. Small reports help enormously.
Can I support the project?
Yes. If Explorer Tales has meant something to you, a small contribution helps us keep it calm, ad-free and honest.
Where is my data stored?
Your local progress lives on your device. If you sign in, it is safely synced to our backend so you can find it again on another device.
Why is progression not fully explained?
Because part of what makes the adventure feel alive is discovering it yourself. We would rather leave a little mystery than spoil a surprise.
