Yard Garage
A backyard repair-shop game for kids 7–12 — honest hands-on mechanics
Coming soon This game is being prepared for release
You are twelve, and you have a backyard garage, an old workbench, a toolbox and a queue of neighbours: one bike will not brake, one pit bike will not start, one quad «clunks over bumps». The player takes an order, finds the fault, reaches it with their own hands — undoing fasteners and removing whatever is in the way — swaps the part and puts everything back together.
The main difference from «repair clickers»: nothing fixes with a tap. Will not turn — wrong wrench. Will not come off — a chain lies on top. The child figures out what to do on their own and feels smart.
Who will enjoy it
Kids 7–12 who love taking things apart: unscrew, remove, see what is inside — that joy needs no reward. And parents who want a game with no purchases, no chats with strangers and no ads that pop up by themselves.
What sets it apart
Honest hands-on work instead of «tap the part». A circular gesture turns a nut as if the wrench were real. Customers describe faults in their own words — «it coughs and stalls» — and their mood shows on their portrait. The garage visibly grows from a shed into a workshop with a lift, and it is the player’s doing.
What it does
Nothing fixes with a tap
Every nut is real: it has its own size, its own tool and its own spot you must reach first. Wrong wrench — the nut will not budge; a chain lying on top — the wheel will not come off.
Gestures like real movements
Turning a nut is a circular finger gesture, like a real wrench: a progress arc grows around it. To remove a part, tap it; to install one, drag it onto the highlighted spot.
Torque on a gauge
Tighten up and a needle runs across the gauge: stop in the green zone and it is just right. Under-tighten and the customer is unhappy; over-tighten and the fastener seizes until you spray it with oil.
Eight kinds of breakdowns
Wear and cracks, loose fasteners, punctures, low oil or brake fluid, clogged filters, bent wheels, cut wires — every breakdown has its own way of being fixed.
Four vehicle classes
From the Salut kids bike to the Nivka car: 13 models — bicycles, pit bikes and the Karpaty moped, quad bikes, cars. The car has 39 removable parts and 66 nuts, every one of them real.
Neighbours' orders
Customers describe a fault in their own words — «it squeaks when I brake», «the handlebar pulls sideways». You find the fault yourself: a gentle warm trail, or the honest master arrow that lowers the pay.
The garage grows with the mechanic
From a shed with a single light bulb to a proper workshop: a bike stand, a compressor, a vise, a second work bay, a parts washer, a lift and a neon sign with your own name on it.
Thrift and housekeeping
Removed parts never vanish: they go to the warehouse with their own wear — sell them or fit them into the next order. The customer mood is visible on their portrait and changes the pay; do more than asked and get a bonus.
Safe for kids
No real-money purchases, no chats with strangers, no «come back in 4 hours» timers. Ads never pop up on their own — a video runs only when the child taps for a clear reward, no more than five a day.
Learning inside the first order
The first order teaches by doing: Kirill from block four brings his Salut with a puncture. A hand with a wrench shows the gesture right on the part — no long texts, little reading needed.
Frequently asked questions
When will the game reach the stores?
The game is in development. Once the build passes the store reviews, install buttons will appear on this page.
What age is it for?
From 7 to 12 years old. There is little to read: the important things are shown with icons and arrows, and rules are explained by showing the gesture right on the part.
Is the game free?
Yes, with no real-money purchases. Money is earned only by working — orders, thrift and growing the workshop.
How do ads work?
Rewarded and tapped only — «watch a clip, double the pay» after a finished order, or «double the gift» once a day. Saying no costs nothing — everything in the game is reachable without clips, and there are no more than five a day.
Does it need the internet?
No, repairs and the whole game work offline. The internet is only needed by the voluntary rewarded ads.
What if my child gets stuck on an order?
They cannot. Help is always there — after a minute of inaction the area near the fault glows softly, and the master arrow button shows the next step while honestly lowering the pay. A stuck child never pays attention for help.
What happens if the game is deleted?
The wallet, the parts warehouse and the garage upgrades are lost — they stay on the device only. There is no account or cloud save.
Something not working?
