Our Site Score

82/100

Just like the Jungle version, Make A Scene: Safari is a hit in our household. It trades the lush greens of the jungle for the golden plains of the savannah, and it’s just as charming. The variety of animals—lions, elephants, rhinos—is great, and the 'pocket' optimization means the UI doesn't feel cluttered on a phone screen.

It’s a very calm app, which I appreciate. There are no ads, no menus that are easy to get lost in, and no way for a kid to really 'mess up.' They just explore, place animals, and learn what they sound like. It’s a great digital toy that replaces the mess of physical stickers and provides a lot more interactivity in return.

Dinsun Review

This is essentially identical to the 'Jungle' version, just with a different set of assets. It’s a conservative, low-risk product for a very young audience. As a gamer, I have to judge it on what it is: a toy. It’s well-drawn, and the animals look enough like their real-life counterparts to be educational. The voiceovers are clear and helpful for language development.

However, it’s remarkably thin. Once you've placed the lion next to the zebra, you've pretty much seen everything the app has to offer. It lacks any sort of progression or 'game' elements that would keep a child engaged for long. It’s a fine tool for parents in a waiting room, but it’s not something that deserves a high score in a world of complex, engaging educational software. It’s reliable, functional, and deeply unoriginal.
