Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure you have a compatible iPad or Fire Tablet and the necessary Osmo Base. Download the Osmo Genius Words app from your respective app store. Place the tablet into the Osmo Base and align the reflective mirror over the device camera. Open the app and follow the on-screen calibration steps to ensure the camera can see the play area. To care for your kit, keep the tiles clean and dry. Store them in the provided stackable containers after each use to prevent damage or loss. Avoid exposing the tiles to extreme heat or liquids, and clean them with a soft, dry cloth if they become dusty.
