The telehealth problem

The medium works against you every single session.

Kids zone out on video

Twenty minutes in, the six-year-old is under the desk. The teen's camera is on but the phone's in their lap.

Screen share isn't collaboration

You drive, they watch. It feels like school, not therapy — and they can't touch what you're showing.

Sessions flatten without play

The sand tray, the dollhouse, the card deck — none of it travels through a webcam.

Two devices, shared game
What it does

In the same game,
on two devices.

Both sides can play

Not you showing them something — you're both active, drawing, moving pieces, taking turns.

Real-time sync

Their move shows on your screen instantly, and yours on theirs. No lag, no desync.

Runs alongside your video

Use the optional, integrated Hopscotch video call(HIPAA compliant), or keep Zoom, Doxy, or SimplePractice open on the side. Hopscotch handles the play.

No screen share needed

You're each in your own window. The experience is shared, not mirrored.

Two ways to connect

2-player. Two ways to connect.

From your dashboards

Both log in, tap Start 2-Player, and you're connected instantly.

With a client link

Generate a secure client link, send it to your client, and they join with one tap.

Why this matters

Screen share vs. 2-player mode.

What most do

Screen share

  • You share your screen. Client watches.
  • Only you can click, drag, or interact.
  • Latency and lag are common.
  • Feels like a lesson, not a session.
  • Kids disengage after 10 minutes.
2-player mode

Shared session

  • Both sides play on their own device.
  • Real-time sync, no lag.
  • Client is active — not a spectator.
  • Feels like playing a game together.
  • Engagement holds through the session.
