A Purpose-Built Learning Device for Shared Spaces
Launchpad Quest is our first non-circulating device, a purpose-built learning and engagement platform that helps children explore, discover, and grow in shared public spaces like libraries, schools, day care centers, waiting rooms, and more. Built with the same turn-key ease and simple user experience you expect from its parent product Launchpad, Quest invites kids to go beyond consuming content and into problem-solving, creativity, and learning through play. It provides screen time with purpose.
Independent Learning Through Play and Exploration
With Quest, kids team up with a friendly animated Playaway Pal to explore six core subjects with up to 150 educational games, storybooks, activities, and more. All optimized forindependent interaction.
At its heart, Launchpad Quest is about learning through discovery. Each device is thoughtfully curated with high-quality digital content that encourages kids to ask questions, try new challenges, and build skills at their own pace. Whether they’re solving puzzles, experimenting with logic, or strengthening early literacy, young learners are actively engaged — not passively scrolling.
Designed for Simplicity in Libraries and Schools
For staff, Quest offers a much-needed balance of innovation and simplicity. There are no licenses, renewals, or software updates needed. Devices are ready to use right out of the box, making them easy additions to afterschool programming, in-classroom use, and learning spaces.
Built with Librarians, Tested by Young Learners
Launchpad Quest was built with librarians to reflect what we know matters most to the communities you serve. A pilot program featuring some of the country’s most influential libraries provided early testing, feedback, and ultimately, the stamp of approval from their youngest patrons.
Customizable Content for Every Learning Environment
Each device can be configured for your unique space. Mix and match bundles for up to 150 carefully curated apps, supported by our Core Collections and Side Quest expansion packs.With age and subject filtering at their fingertips, each child’s experience is age-appropriate, inclusive, and aligned with educational best practices, helping build confidence while developing essential skills.
Parents and caregivers can feel confident knowing children are engaging with safe, ad-free content with no distractions, and no personal data collection. Ever.
Safe, Ad-Free, and Built for Trust
Educators, administrators, and library staff can rely on a durable, cost-effective solution that works seamlessly within existing programs and budgets.
Inviting Curiosity, Discovery, and Growth
As libraries and schools continue to evolve as hubs of learning, connection, and discovery, Launchpad Quest is here to help you meet learners where they are — and invite them to go further. It’s an open door to exploration, designed to empower kids to try, think, and succeed.
We can’t wait to see how Launchpad Quest supports your programs, engages your learners, and brings even more moments of curiosity and joy into your community.
The quest for learning starts here.
