GameFlow

ConsentFlow for products used by children — a guardian approves the connection before anything is shared.

GameFlow is ConsentFlow with one flag set: needsGuardianConsent: true. It exists because a ten-year-old can't meaningfully consent to data sharing. With GameFlow, a parent or guardian reviews and approves the connection between your product and the child's LearnCard before you can read or write anything.

There is no separate API. You build a normal consent integration; LearnCard handles the guardian step.

What changes when the flag is set

• A child's account (one managed by a guardian) cannot consent on its own. The network rejects the attempt with Child accounts require guardian approval to consent to contracts.

• The LearnCard app routes the child to "get an adult". The guardian signs in — or creates an account — reviews your contract in plain language, and approves or declines on the child's behalf.

• After approval, everything works as normal ConsentFlow: you receive the redirect with the child's DID, verifyConsent returns true, and you can issue credentials into the child's account. The guardian can withdraw at any time from their own LearnCard.

Adults hitting the same contract are unaffected; they consent directly.

Two ways in

From your game. The child taps "Connect to LearnCard" and is sent to https://learncard.app/consent-flow?uri=<contractUri>&returnTo=<yourUrl>. LearnCard asks for a grown-up, the guardian picks or creates the child's profile and approves, and the child lands back in your game connected. Good for onboarding inside the game.

From the LearnCard app. A family finds your game in the LearnCard app store and taps Connect there. Same approval, then LearnCard opens your game with the connection already live. Good for discovery.

What you get

• Credentials you issue land in a real, portable account the child keeps as they grow.

• You never store a child's identity yourself; you hold a DID and a consent record that the guardian controls.

• The guardian, not you, is the source of truth for permission — which is what COPPA and similar rules want.

Build it

The Connect a User's LearnCard to Your Platform tutorial is the whole integration; add needsGuardianConsent: true to the createContract call. A working example is the Gashapon Game Corner.
