questions & answers
For grown-ups deciding whether this is a good fit, and for children who want to know what happens to their ideas.
Wild Ideas Club is a free, ad-free, screen-light web playground for practising divergent thinking — making lots of unusual ideas before judging any of them. Children roll prompts in the Idea Garden, keep favourites in a private Seed Jar, build a rough version in Make, and record surprises in Beautiful Detours. Nothing is scored, ranked or shared.
Roughly 6 to 16. Reading size can be set to regular, medium or big, prompts have no correct answer, and younger children usually enjoy it most alongside a grown-up. Older children tend to use the Make challenge and Beautiful Detours on their own.
No. There is no sign-up, no login and no email address. Every page is usable straight away, and saved ideas live in your own browser rather than in an account.
Core activities work offline once their pages have been cached on the device. Prompts and saved work stay available in that browser. The optional AI idea helper needs internet and sends the text entered into it to an AI service; do not include private information. A small note links to your saved work when you are offline.
Ideas, sketches, reflections and detours are stored in this browser's local storage on this device only. There is no account, no child-to-child messaging, no public feed and no sharing of children's work. A grown-up can export everything as a file or delete it all from the Grown-ups page. Clearing browser data also deletes it.
It is a complement, not a replacement, and it is not a curriculum. School days are usually organised around finding correct answers; this is a small, low-stakes space for the other half of thinking — generating many possibilities, making something rough, and noticing what changed. Most sessions end away from the screen with paper, boxes and tape.
Ten minutes at a time. A common pattern: read Today's Wild Card together, run one three-minute idea storm in the Idea Garden, then make something on paper. The Grown-ups page has co-play guides and conversation prompts that invite noticing and alternatives instead of grading answers.
Yes. The Make challenge has a 'Print or save as PDF' button that uses your browser's print window to produce a clean, ink-friendly mission sheet with your ideas so far, room for drawing, and space for grown-up notes.
