Mia and Mio

Two frogs and a backpack full of letters

They don't explain anything or hold you back. They're simply there: on the home screen, at a milestone, and on the night your little flame is about to go out.

Mia, the mascot

Mia

The flower on her leaf hat gives her away. She doesn't point or rush you. She sits beside you and watches along. When she's impressed by what you do, you can see it on her face.

Mio, the mascot

Mio

Her brother, and the mascot of Mio Path, the game this world grew from. He drops by at a milestone, with a gift, or simply to cheer you on.

The illustrations

Whenever something happens, she's right there

Beside a completed booklet, a new stamp, or the screen that welcomes you. Never as a pop-up you have to dismiss, always as an illustration that appears for a moment and then makes way.

The style

Warm paper, hand-drawn ink

  • Everything is drawn by hand

    Every doodle on this site also appears in the app: the lily pads, the suitcase, the ice crystal, the beehive. No stock icon library, just ink with a character all its own.

  • Paper you can almost touch

    Stamps with perforated edges, signs on cream paper, a one-and-a-half-pixel shadow. Everything feels like it's resting on a table instead of sitting on a screen.

  • You earn your look, you don't buy it

    The frames and portraits for your profile reflect what you've played. You won't find them in a store, and money can't buy them.

Mia and Mio with letter blocks

From the same workshop

Words with Mia is the sister game to Mio Path: the same creators, the same frogs, the same warm pastels. Mio Path is about jumping and paths, while this game is about letters and words, but you'll immediately know they're family.
