About OTATAA

OTATAA is a Swiss independent digital entertainment studio developing and publishing interactive mobile games, animated storybooks and educational applications for children and families. Founded in 2012 and based in Zug, it operates as the family entertainment brand of a software sole proprietorship. Its work combines touchscreen interaction, illustrated characters, traditional storytelling and original acoustic music.

The studio focuses on toddlers, preschoolers and young children, creating experiences built around exploration, memory, matching, auditory perception and playful discovery. Its applications bring together hand-crafted illustrations, animation and sound, with an emphasis on family participation and age-appropriate interaction. Production capabilities span scriptwriting, storyboarding, character design, frame-by-frame and cutout animation, mobile development, soundtrack composition and digital publishing.

Interactive play and storytelling

The catalog ranges from open-ended creative activities to structured early-learning games. The Monster Lab lets children assemble humorous creatures from interchangeable heads, horns and tentacles. The Bato series follows a friendly bat through activities involving sound recognition, memory, shape matching and hide-and-seek. Xmas Night presents an animated holiday storybook in which children explore a woodland treehouse and help animal families unwrap gifts.

Other releases explore concentration, visual tracking and memory through animal and monster characters. Sneak-a-Boo! features Vic the monster, while Catch a Match! combines memory puzzles with an animal-rescue journey across continents. What Do You Prefer...? brings interactive choices and dilemmas into family play.

OTATAA develops for iOS and iPadOS, with selected work also distributed through Google Play. Its publishing activities include multilingual voiceover and ongoing application maintenance. The supplied research documents updates to several established titles in March 2025, reflecting continued support for the catalog on modern Apple platforms.
