While primarily skill-based, Yomi's online competitive nature and leaderboards could expose players to social comparison and competitive toxicity. The availability of expansion characters for purchase might create a perception of 'pay-to-win' for some players.

  • DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.
  • GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.
  • ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.

These reflect Ludograph's assessment of the game's design practices against each framework's criteria, not a legal compliance determination.

Parents ask…

Is Yomi safe for kids?

Ludograph gives Yomi a rating of 57/100, recommended for ages 7 and up. It delivers genuine benefits but carries design risks that deserve a close look.

What age is Yomi appropriate for?

Ludograph's rubric recommends a minimum age of 7+ for Yomi, based on benefits, risks, and content review.

How long should kids play Yomi?

Our session recommendation for Yomi is up to 90 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.

What are the main risks of Yomi?

While primarily skill-based, Yomi's online competitive nature and leaderboards could expose players to social comparison and competitive toxicity. The availability of expansion characters for purchase might create a perception of 'pay-to-win' for some players.
