MeloQuest Announces Fun, New Mobile Musical Adventure Game That Teaches Kids/Teens Real Piano Skills
Keys & Kingdoms is an exciting new game for boy and girl gamers ages 6-15. In addition to popular features found in other games including player development, side quests, dungeons, puzzle rooms, enemies and bosses, MeloQuest’s Keys & Kingdoms teaches gamers musical skills including how to play popular songs and patterns on the piano as they proceed through the games’ exciting levels.
Also, Keys & Kingdoms adapts to the skill level of the player allowing each individual to develop at his or her own speed. Players can also create their own music using the game’s unique crafting system.
“More than 80 percent of kids drop out of private piano lessons in the first few years and that’s a real problem,” said Graeme Winder, CEO/Founder, MeloQuest. “With Keys & Kingdoms, kids and teens now have a fun, new way to learn to play the piano and build their musical skills and confidence like never before!”
