Parents ask…

Is Where is my Heart? safe for kids?

Ludograph gives Where is my Heart? a rating of 59/100, recommended for ages 7 and up. It offers solid benefits but needs parental guidance on the risks.

What age is Where is my Heart? appropriate for?

Ludograph's rubric recommends a minimum age of 7+ for Where is my Heart?, based on benefits, risks, and content review. That is more lenient than ESRB E10+: industry ratings reflect content intensity, while ours also weighs how the game is designed to be played.

How long should kids play Where is my Heart??

Our session recommendation for Where is my Heart? is up to 120 minutes per day. It is derived from the game's own structure (natural stopping points, compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social dynamics), not from a universal screen-time dose.

Session recommendations are design-based heuristics. Evidence linking specific daily durations to child outcomes is limited, and context matters as much as time; treat this as a starting point for household rules, not a clinical threshold.
