Budgets and dates
Give each occasion its own budget and date; each one has its own wishlist and countdown. The “Total budget” your child sees is Birthday + Christmas + any other budget you add + the game money they have unlocked so far (only what’s really been earned, never the yearly maximum). Game money waits in the total until it’s shared into an occasion. Each January it starts again and whatever was left carries over. Unused money in any budget can go back to the total, or be kept for good in lifetime savings, with “Move money”.
🪙 Learning money
Earn extra budget
Wantasaur shares the daily budget across the day's questions and works out what each one is worth. Change any setting and everything already earned is worked out again at the new rates. Kids can keep playing after the daily questions or the total are used up; those rounds are practice and don't add money.
Kids
Every child gets their own wishlists, budgets, games and trophies. Kids pick who's playing at the top of the kid view; the grown-up area shows one child at a time. Use nicknames or first names only — never a full name, because names appear on lists you share.
Add from any store
Paste a link from any store (Amazon too) and we'll fill in the name, price and photo. It shows up in your child's gifts as a family pick.
