Readioo is now initiating a collaboration with Sven Nordqvist's beloved characters Pettson & Findus. Readioo is a Swedish edtech company that develops interactive and screen-free learning experiences for children. Together, they are launching a brand new interactive puzzle, where Sven Nordqvist's classic Pettson & Findus motifs are brought to life with sound via Readioo's reading pen. The collaboration is being done through the brand agency Rights & Brands, which represents Pettson & Findus for licensing rights. The puzzle is put together as usual, but once all the pieces are in place, children can explore the sounds within the image. This interactive dimension brings new life to traditional puzzling and makes discovering the world of Pettson & Findus fun and exciting. "Sven Nordqvist's fantastic attention to detail in the illustrations makes it a perfect product for interactive exploration. It's very exciting to create a product together with a character that is a big favorite among so many," says Linda Wennerström, co-founder and COO at Readioo. "We are very happy that Pettson & Findus are getting new life in an interactive, modern format. This is a fantastic example of how to carry on the humor and playfulness of the classic stories in a new and innovative way." says Pia Lindén, Senior Brand & Sales Manager at Rights & Brands. The interactive puzzle will be launched in spring 2026 and will be sold via Readioo's webshop and selected retailers.
