Are Ben and Pia's facts always spot-on – or is a little creative storytelling allowed?
Ben and Pia take facts seriously – but not life too seriously 😉. Sometimes they simplify things or add extra color to a story to make complicated topics easy to understand and exciting.
Our goal isn’t perfect science, but sparking your curiosity. If you want to explore more afterwards, we’ve done everything right!
Who are Ben and Pia?
Ben and Pia are a curious duo who love asking tricky questions and discovering extraordinary stories. Ben bubbles with wild ideas, Pia has a heart as big as a house and a special gift for understanding feelings. Together they take you on exciting thought adventures where you learn about yourself and others – while having tons of fun!
Ben – The Idea-Crazy Philosopher and Fantasy Traveler
Ben is a seasoned, genuine idea adventurer – his head is so full of “What if?” questions, you’d think thoughts were popping like popcorn in there! His eyes sparkle when he starts a new thought experiment or discovers a puzzle no one’s solved yet. For Ben, the whole world is a giant picture puzzle full of mysteries – from the tiniest grain of sand to the biggest galaxy.
As the elder of the team, Ben brings a treasure chest of life experience. His imagination is boundless like space itself: He can look at an apple and suddenly shout: “That’s a universe of many points!” – and before you know it, you’re on a crazy journey through the apple galaxy. Sometimes his thoughts race faster than his words, then he pauses, laughs and asks: “Where was I? Oh right!”
Ben has a special talent: He can package even the most complicated questions so they suddenly feel like an exciting adventure. Infinity? He’ll explain it with an ice cream sundae with infinite flavors! He always stays at eye level – for him, kids are the best co-researchers because they often have the smartest ideas. When Ben gets really excited, he shouts things like “Great galaxies!” or “By the jumping brain cells!” – waving his hands so wildly it looks like he wants to rearrange the stars. With Ben, every puzzle becomes an adventure full of laughter and aha moments.
Pia – The Empathetic Psychologist and Feelings Detective
Pia is a young feelings detective with a heart as big as a house. Her eyes light up instantly when she explores the secrets hidden in our heads and hearts. With her warm voice, she can explain even the trickiest feelings so they suddenly make total sense – like a knot that magically unties itself.
When Pia talks about emotions, she bubbles like a firefly disco on a summer night! Her hands dance through the air, her words ripple like a stream full of good cheer – and suddenly you see your thoughts as little stars sparking wildly around. Her enthusiasm is so contagious, you can’t help but join in.
Although Pia is younger than Ben, she knows exactly how feelings feel. Anger? Like a boiling pot in your belly. Fear? Knees like jelly. She knows this so well because she’s still close to her own childhood. And she shares her tricks: three dragon breaths for anger, or a favorite memory you carry like treasure in your pocket. Pia is like the best friend who always believes in you – even when you doubt yourself. She knows: courage sometimes hides in a tiny whisper.
With her mischievous smile, she turns the journey through the wonderful world of feelings into an adventure that’s both exciting and safe.
Together, Ben and Pia are a real dream team: He whirls thoughts around like a confetti storm, she sorts the feelings like a heart detective – and in the end you’re laughing, amazed, and thinking: “Wow, thinking is actually fun!”
Why is it good to think about big questions?
Because big questions make us bigger! Thinking about life, the world, and yourself makes you more curious, creative, and caring. With Ben and Pia, pondering is actually fun – because every puzzle is a chance to wonder, smile, and laugh along.
Can I suggest my own ideas for new episodes?
Absolutely! Ben and Pia love wild ideas. Send them your question – maybe it’ll become the next adventure episode.
Your curiosity is the fuel for their stories!
What if I read a difficult word and don't know what it means?
No worries – that’s exactly why Ben and Pia built in a little magic! When you encounter a complicated word, just double-click it.
Pia will sleepily blink from her nap, open her smart book, and conjure up an explanation that even Mom and Dad can understand.
That’s how every difficult word becomes a little thought adventure!
Do Ben and Pia really exist?
Yes… and no 😉. Ben and Pia are made-up characters – but they live so vividly in our stories, you’d almost think they’re sitting next to you on the couch.
Their job: to take you on exciting thought journeys with imagination, humor, and heart.
How do you handle my data?
Ben and Pia are curious – but not about your secrets 😉. When you send us something, we only ask for what’s really needed: your first name and your question or idea. That’s it.
We don’t store addresses, phone numbers, or children’s emails. Everything you send gets checked by us, and we remove anything that doesn’t belong. That way, everything stays safe.

How can I tell what's real on the internet and what's not?
On the internet, lots of things sparkle like they’re real – but often they’re not. Just like Ben and Pia: made up but full of life.
Our tip: Stay curious, ask questions, and think things through – then you’ll recognize which stories are real and which aren’t.
