Meet Valumai:
Helping thoughtful parents raise resilient kids to make great choices and a real difference in their world.

Character development that grows with your child,
one adventure at a time.

Get Started

The ICCE Framework

Four domains of character development through adventure storytelling

๐Ÿง 

Intelligence

Problem-solving quests, creative challenges, and emotional awareness adventures that develop thinking skills naturally through engaging narratives.

Example: "Help Pikachu solve the electricity puzzle using logic and creativity"
๐Ÿ’Ž

Character

Every adventure presents meaningful decisions about honesty, courage, kindness, and responsibility - building the moral compass that guides their life.

Example: "Should Arsenal's captain tell the referee about their accidental handball?"
๐ŸŒฑ

Coachability

Safe spaces to try, fail, reflect, and grow. Adventures that stretch comfort zones while building resilience and love of learning.

Example: "Try a new spell at Hogwarts, learn from mistakes, and discover hidden strengths"
โญ

Experiences

Adventures rooted in your child's world - from football pitches to Pokรฉmon battles - that translate into real-world character growth.

Example: "Navigate team dynamics when you're the new player in the squad"
