Lesa

Lesa is a reading game for children aged 6 and up, created by the innovation company Revera to tackle a global problem. Reading skills among children are dropping. 14islands was brought in to shape the product concept and design the app, from the first prototypes to the finished product.

We built the game around one new story every day, turning the proven habit of 15 minutes of daily reading into something kids choose for themselves. Kids choose a character, climb levels, and unlock rewards after each story, while parents and teachers get detailed statistics.

Lesa launched successfully in Iceland and is now preparing to expand internationally.

"We came to 14islands with a simple mission: make children fall in love with reading again. The hardest part was making a kid want to come back tomorrow. That is exactly what the 14islands team got right. They helped us shape the concept from the earliest sketches to the finished experience, one that feels like play rather than homework. The reading journey, the question flow after each story, the playground, every detail carries their craft. They challenged our thinking in every meeting, listened closely, and felt like part of our own team from day one. LESA would not be what it is without the 14islands team. If you have a product where design has to do the heavy lifting, partner with 14islands."
