About
Little Bobby’s dead, the BBQ is on fire, Jen’s eating poisonous berries and the birthday cake still needs icing. It’s just another wonderful day out with the kids in Think of the Children, a frantic parenting simulator for up to four players.
Hauled before the court for bad parenting and endangering the lives of your children, the Prosecutors present a series of events as evidence that will either condemn or exonerate you: a birthday party at the park, a day at the zoo, a camping trip, an unexpected visit to the Australian Outback and more. Each of these locations proves to be far more dangerous than they sound, and even the tamest of environments are filled with deadly hazards.
Run solo, or team up with other parents to play through each trip in flashback to prove your parenting skills-and your innocence-to the judge, and avoid going to jail.
There’s never a dull moment when you’ve got the BBQ to tend, picnic tables to set, some of the kids are playing with a rabid dog, and two of them just ran out onto the road.
To get a good parenting grade and avoid jail time you’ll need to get all your tasks done, keep the kids happy, and–ideally–alive!
The local park, the beach, the supermarket, the zoo. Great places for a day out with the kids. That is, aside from the poisonous berries, ravenous seagulls, towering grocery shelves and electrified pens.
Single parent? Two mums? A mum, two dads and a horse in a long distance relationship? It’s all good. Parent solo or co-operatively with up to four players.

My kid drank bleach and It was SUPER FUN!
The game had a few minor bugs, but overall my friends and I had a wonderful evening playing it, laughing at both the ridiculous story and game play. It was very entertaining for an evening and I imagine I may pull it out with a different set of friends at a later point.
A friend of mine bought this as a gift for me and two other friends of ours, however- we were unaware it's a couch sitter 4-player game. The tags say 'local 4-player' and we naturally assumed we could make a local server and still play, but we assumed incorrectly. The game looks fun, we just can't play it yet.

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

It'd be a fun game, but it's designed for 3 or 4 players. Below that, you don't have a chance to beat even the first level. And there is no online multiplayer, either.
Laborious in a very unfun way, especially when you're playing with just another player (don't even want to think about playing alone...)
Hope I'll never have kids
Do not pay full price for this game. I paid 1 dollar, and for that price it would be fine. The replay-ability isn't there for me. I think its fun for a dollar to play and struggle through, because this game is kinda hard for me. But there isn't enough substance here for 10 dollars full price. I'd give it 3 stars out of 10. It's fun because of the challenge but gets tiresome fast.
This game is so much fun :D
