Real Theatre Education
Every element in the game — from winch stands, truss, moving head lights, sets, wireless mic packs and stage curtains — teaches children how a professional theatre production actually works.
The Match-3 Game
Strategic puzzle play that grows with your child
More than just matching tiles
⭐
Every level is hand-designed with a specific puzzle to solve. Earn 1, 2 or 3 stars based on how cleverly you play. Forward planning is rewarded.
🚀
Alpha Comet, Alpha Glitter Bomb, Alpha Magical Orb, Alpha Galaxy, Alpha Starburst. Each power-up is unique and spectacular. Combine them for massive chain reactions.
🎭
Alpha Shows characters appear during gameplay with hints, reactions to your combos, and encouragement. Villains taunt you. Heroes cheer you on.
🏆
The same wristbands we hand out to brilliant audience members at our live shows. Win them in the game and use them to build your stage.
Theatre Obstacles on the Board
Every blocker teaches something real about how a show is built
⚡ Winch-Up Lighting Stands
A vertical multi-tile blocker that packs down just like a real winch stand — big poles retract first, then the small poles, then the base. Exactly how our crew packs the gear for the trailer after every show.
🎪 Stage Curtains
Horizontal curtain blockers that retract toward the wings — stage left tabs pull stage left, stage right tabs pull stage right. Just like how we draw the tabs at every Alpha Shows performance.
🌨️ Snow Drifts
Gravity-responsive snow blocks from the Snow Queen show. They fall and merge into connected snowdrifts — clear tiles beneath them and watch the snow cascade down. Hidden treasure inside.
🔊 Stage Gear Blockers
Speakers, subwoofers, LED wash lights, moving heads, tech desks, fog machines, mic cables — real technical stage equipment as puzzle obstacles. Kids learn what everything does while clearing the board.
🧱 Stone with Hidden Loot
Connected stone blocks that intelligently detect their neighbours and display seamless edges and corners. Hit them to reveal hidden treasure inside. The math behind the borders is genuinely beautiful.
🌿 Enchanted World Blockers
Growing vines, enchanted forest parchment, ice crystals, mud, fog — each blocker belongs to a specific Alpha Shows story world. Clearing them is how you progress through each show’s narrative.

A real theatre — all yours
Your Dream Stage is a fully interactive theatre space. Place professional lighting rigs, sound systems, backdrops, props, and of course the characters themselves. Everything you can buy in the Alpha Shop is a real element from an actual Alpha Shows production.
Characters you place on stage will talk to you, react to the game, and even help charge up the mic packs in the daily check-in. The bigger your cast, the more wristbands you earn each day.
Over 100 characters across 10 Alpha Shows productions — from Scooter the dalmatian all the way to Ilsa, Rapunzel, Hercules and beyond.

Responsible Gaming.
By Design.
We built Dream Stage for children first. Every decision about how the game works was made with that in mind.
✓
No ads. Ever.
Dream Stage contains zero advertisements. No banners, no video ads, no pop-ups. The whole Alpha Shows app is a clean, ad-free experience.
✓
No in-app purchases.
Everything in the game is earned through gameplay. No loot boxes, no “buy more gems,” no paywalls. The wristband economy is driven entirely by skill and time played.
✓
Built-in play limits.
The game has a maximum of 5 lives. Each life takes 30 minutes to regenerate. This means children naturally take breaks — it’s built into how the game works, not something you have to enforce.
✓
No social media. No strangers.
Dream Stage is a completely self-contained world. No chat, no friend requests, no online interaction with other players. Just your child, the game, and the Alpha Shows universe.
✓
Genuinely educational.
Theatre terminology, production concepts, storytelling, empathy, problem solving, character from 10 classic fairytale shows — children absorb this knowledge through play, not through being taught at.
✓
Connects to the live show.
Dream Stage is designed to keep children connected to Alpha Shows between live performances. The app deepens the relationship with the characters and stories they experienced on stage.
What Children Learn

The Wristband Economy

Spend on Your Stage
