FAQ

Got questions? Sweet as.

Pocket Kūpu is designed primarily for tamariki aged 3-10, but the games are enjoyable for all ages. Teachers use them in primary classrooms, parents play them at home, and even adults learning te reo for the first time find them helpful. The QR pronunciation feature makes it accessible for complete beginners of any age.
Not at all! That's exactly why we created the QR code feature. Simply scan the code on any card with your phone camera and you'll hear the correct pronunciation along with the meaning and cultural context. You'll be learning alongside your tamariki.
Each pack of 16 cards covers everyday greetings, feelings, words of affirmation (whakatauki), and seasonal celebrations like Matariki. The words are carefully selected to be immediately useful in daily life, making te reo a natural part of your routine.
We ship nationwide across Aotearoa. Standard delivery takes 3-5 business days. Orders of 3+ packs qualify for free shipping. We'll send you a tracking number as soon as your order is dispatched.
Absolutely! We offer special bulk pricing for schools, ECE centres, and educational organisations. Email us at [email protected] with your requirements and we'll get back to you with a custom quote within 24 hours.
