PlaySpace’s digital dollhouse is an interactive, multi-room miniature house that lives inside your secure video session. Clients drag family figures, pets, furniture, and props into rooms to act out daily life, conflicts, or fantasies. Because everything happens on screen, you see each move in real time and can pause, zoom, or screenshot the scene for deeper processing.
Invite the child to create “home” scenes, then gently prompt role-play: Where would you place everyone? What happens next? When trauma material emerges, you can duplicate rooms to rehearse alternative endings, add safety symbols, or freeze a moment for reflective questions, without breaking rapport.
Attachment work, emotion identification, conflict resolution, safety planning, social-skills rehearsal, family-system mapping, and narrative repair are common goals. The visual, hands-on format lowers verbal barriers and keeps younger clients engaged.
Clients can choose from settings like bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, living room, backyard, and specialty rooms, such as two separate homes for co-parenting, apartments, duplexes, and mobile homes. Movable figures and props reflect diverse skin tones, family structures, pets, vehicles, and emotion icons. Clients can also generate their own personalized 3D objects using AI (available in beta), adding a new layer of creativity and self-expression.
Absolutely. With a single toggle you can grant control, enabling true collaborative play. You can also reclaim control instantly if a younger client needs co-regulation.

The goals are identical, externalizing inner worlds, practicing problem-solving, exploring family dynamics, but the digital format adds instant resets, limitless props, no cleanup and remote access for telehealth. It also accommodates clients who struggle with fine-motor or sensory issues often triggered by physical pieces.
The dollhouse resonates with children and adolescents, it can be scaled for older clients who benefit from metaphor and narrative re-enactment. Teens often lean into ironic or creative storytelling, making the tool useful for family mapping or identity exploration.

Start with a quick tour, then let them “decorate” a room to build familiarity. For younger kids, offer a simple prompt like “Show me where everyone sleeps.” With teens, invite them to stage a favorite memory or dream home, humor and creativity help break the ice.
