Tunabee Magic Card Deck: Cards That Summon 3D Letters, Numbers and Animals to Your Table

Tunabee Magic Card Deck starts with a set of printed cards and a table. You pick a game, tap a card, and a 3D letter, number or animal pops onto the table in front of you. Solve the round and the pieces celebrate, then you try the next one.

It is coming soon from aeternusvita.io. This post explains what the deck is, how it works on a headset and on a phone, what happens in a round, and who it suits, using only the details from the project brief and the store copy. If you want to hear when it is ready, you can get notified from Tunabee Magic Card Deck.

What Tunabee Magic Card Deck is

The one-line pitch says it plainly:

"Tap a Tunabee card and a letter, number or animal lands on the table."

The subtitle is "Cards that summon 3D pieces".

The full description from the store copy adds:

"Tunabee Magic Card Deck is a card session for ages 10 and up, with a parent nearby. On a VR headset the pieces sit on your real table in mixed reality. On a phone you play in the browser."

That is the core idea. The cards are the input and the table is the board. The app shows a 3D piece for the card you chose, so the round happens on the surface you already have.

The brief lists the category as Board / learning and the platforms as Quest MR and WebXR on a phone. You do not need an account to play.

How it works at the table

The loop stays the same each time. The PRD excerpt describes it step by step:

"Print or buy the deck -> pick a game (match, spell, count) -> tap a card in the app (or scan QR in WebXR) -> 3D piece pops onto the table -> solve -> pieces celebrate"

On a headset, the pieces use mixed reality and sit on your real table. You see your room and the 3D letters, numbers and animals on the table together.

On a phone, you play in the browser. The brief calls this the WebXR phone path. There is no headset needed for that version — you open the browser on your phone and play there.

The features list covers the two inputs: "Tap a card in the app, or scan the code on the card with the phone." Either way, a 3D piece for that card pops onto the table. When you solve the round, the pieces celebrate.

The cards

You have two ways to get the cards. The listing says: "Print the cards at home, or use a printed deck." A free printable is included, and a printed deck is also planned.

If you print at home, you use the PDF and print on ordinary paper. If you prefer a ready-made set, you use the printed deck. Both give you the same cards to tap or scan.

Tunabee books include four bonus cards. The listing mentions this alongside the printable: "Printable cards, plus four bonus cards in books." Those four cards are extra; the main deck is the one you print or buy for the session.

The cards carry letters, numbers and animals. Each one maps to a 3D piece that pops onto the table when you tap or scan.

The three games: match, spell and count

When you start, you pick a game. The listing names three:

"Pick a game of match, spell or count."

Match, spell and count are the three modes. You choose one before you start summoning pieces.

Match asks you to find pairs or sets from the pieces on the table. Spell uses letters to build or complete a word. Count uses numbers and groups to practise counting. The exact prompts change from round to round, but the structure stays within those three game types.

You play by summoning pieces with the cards. Each tap or scan adds a piece for the round you are in. The pieces stay on the table while you work through the round, then the celebration plays when you solve it.

What lands on the table

Each card summons a 3D piece onto the table — a letter, number or animal.

On a headset in mixed reality, the piece sits on your real table. On a phone browser, it appears on the table in the phone view. A letter might be part of a spelling task, a number part of a counting task, and an animal part of a matching task. The listing groups the material as "phonics, counting up to 20, and simple sets."

How a round works

The listing explains the learning material and the pace:

"The rounds use phonics, counting up to 20, and simple sets. A difficulty ladder changes the next round."

Phonics means working with the sounds that letters make and how they fit into words. Counting up to 20 means the number tasks stay within 0 to 20. Simple sets means short grouping tasks, such as sorting or matching items that belong together.

The difficulty ladder handles progression. After you solve a round, the ladder changes the next one, so you do not set a level by hand.

The end of each round is consistent: "Solve the round and the pieces celebrate." That short celebration marks the round complete before the next one begins.

Who it suits

The listing gives the audience as "ages 10 and up, with a parent nearby." The PRD adds more detail:

"Audience: families with kids (play is parent-supervised; store age rating follows platform rules — Quest titles target 10+ with co-play messaging, never marketed to under-10s directly)."

If you are a parent, this is a session you supervise. Your child plays the rounds with you nearby, whether on a headset or on a phone in the browser.

It suits families who want a short tabletop session that uses printed cards and a screen together. You choose the device that fits your home: a headset puts the pieces on your real table, while a phone keeps the same interaction in the browser.

As a parent, you can set it up beforehand. Print the cards or have the deck ready, pick the game, and sit with your child at the table while they tap or scan and solve the rounds. The rounds are short and the difficulty ladder handles the next step.

There are no accounts to create and no chat. That keeps setup to the cards and the device.

What you need and what is next

For a headset session, you need the cards and a Quest headset that supports mixed reality. You tap a card in the app to summon the piece.

For a phone session, you need the cards and a phone with a browser. You scan the code on the card and the piece pops onto the table in the browser.

In both cases the steps are the same: have the cards ready, pick match, spell or count, tap or scan, watch the piece pop onto the table, solve the round, and watch the pieces celebrate before the ladder sets the next one.

Tunabee Magic Card Deck is coming soon on aeternusvita.io. Nothing has been released or submitted yet, so there is no release date, price, rating or review to share. Prices and dates are not yet decided, and ratings do not exist while the project is unreleased.

If you want to try the cards and the tabletop pieces, get notified from Tunabee Magic Card Deck and you will hear when it is ready. When it is live, print the cards or have the deck to hand, choose a game, summon a piece, and play the round.
