Lesa

Lesa is a reading game for children from 6 years old, created by the innovation studio Revera to answer a global problem: reading skills among children are dropping. 14islands was brought in to shape the product concept and design the app, from the first prototypes to the finished app.

We designed the game around one new story every day. The daily story turns the proven 15 minutes of reading a day into a habit kids choose for themselves. Kids climb levels, choose a character, and unlock rewards after reading, while parents and teachers get detailed statistics.

Lesa launched in Iceland in August 2026 with a public launch event and a growing waitlist. Plans are underway to expand internationally.

"We came to 14islands with a simple mission: make children fall in love with reading again. The hardest part was making a kid want to come back tomorrow. That is exactly what the 14islands team got right. They helped us shape the concept from the earliest sketches to the finished experience, one that feels like play rather than homework. The reading journey, the question flow after each story, the playground, every detail carries their craft. They challenged our thinking in every meeting, listened closely, and felt like part of our own team from day one. LESA would not be what it is without the 14islands team. If you have a product where design has to do the heavy lifting, partner with 14islands."
