Mygi is a family play system consisting of six games and corresponding game consoles. It promotes trusting family relationships by empowering emotional connections and brings meaningful playtime back. The games are: Balance Me, Mood Flow, Shadow Play, Go Yoga, Fusion Rhythm, and Let's Roleplay. Each game lasts about 15 minutes and supports remote play, enabling families in long-distance relationships to play together, and building a bridge between different age groups.
