Phoebe & Jay: Signs & Seek
A 13-mission PBS KIDS hide-and-seek game that turns signs, symbols, numbers, and audio clues into an early-literacy scavenger hunt through Tobsy Towers.
Signs & Seek turns Tobsy Towers into a functional-literacy scavenger hunt. Across 13 missions, players follow signs, symbols, numbers, and audio clues to find Phoebe, Jay, and other familiar characters hiding throughout the apartment building.
I joined Signs & Seek during Alpha 1 and co-produced it through launch alongside a senior producer, sharing responsibility for development, reviews, and final delivery.
During production, I also helped lead substantial level redesigns, refining layouts, interactions, and pacing to make the 13 missions clearer and better aligned with the game’s functional-literacy goals.
Across the series, Phoebe & Jay games have been played nearly 8 million times on the PBS KIDS Games App and 7.4 million times on pbskids.org in their first four months.
