Knocko

Knock on wood. Make a wish.

Knocko, a little wooden block with big eyes, sits on an oak branch in the morning light

When the hour and the minute on the clock match, like 11:11, it is magic time. Knocko, a friendly block of wood, invites your child to knock three times on a wooden board and make a wish.

Knocko and the 11:11 Wish

High in an old oak, where the morning light falls, lives Knocko, a wood block, the smallest of all.

1 / 8

He hums as he waits by the clock on the wall: “When will it come, the best time of all?”

2 / 8

The big hand climbs up and the small hand comes too. Then the clock shows 11:11, and the magic is due.

3 / 8

“Knock, knock, knock!” calls Knocko. “Three knocks on the wood, then whisper a wish, as quiet as you could.”

4 / 8

Mia knocks softly, and Ben knocks out loud. Their wishes rise up like stars from a cloud.

5 / 8

Not every wish comes true on the day. “But wishes,” says Knocko, “will find their own way.”

6 / 8

And if you miss one, that’s perfectly fine. “Tomorrow,” smiles Knocko, “the clock will still shine.”

7 / 8

At 10:10 at night, when the stars are in sight, Knocko yawns, “Sleep well. I’ll knock for you tonight.”

For parents

Afterword

Knocking on wood is an old way to wish for luck. Knocko turns it into a short, calm ritual a few times a day. There are no ads and no pressure, and a missed day never counts against your child.

How it works

1

Wait for magic time

Five times a day, the hour and the minute match. Each magic time stays open for 3 minutes.

2

Knock three times

Knocko invites your child to knock three times on the wooden board.

3

Make a wish

If they like, your child writes a wish into the wish book. The wish stays on the device.

The five magic times

Knocko follows the clock format of the device.

What your child collects

A streak of days

Every day with a knock adds to the streak. A missed day is never punished; the streak starts again.

Magic time stamps

Each magic time your child knocks at shows up as a stamp in the collection.

Wood types

Knocking unlocks new wood: birch after 3 rituals, cherry after 7 days in a row.

A wish book

All wishes are kept in a wish book that stays on the device.

Knock buddies at home

Add brothers, sisters, mum, dad or grandma by first name and knock together on the same phone. Each shared flame grows with every day you knock together. First names stay on the device.
