Who Runs the Monster Hotline

*Call the Monster* is built by a tiny studio of sound designers, child development researchers, and parents who still love a good campfire scare. The Dispatch exists so you can see how we make each call thrilling **and** safe.

Why We Built This

Kids deserve tools to practice bravery with adults they trust. We saw parents improvising “monster voices” after bedtime, so we engineered a cinematic version: professional actors, studio -grade Foley, and sliders that put you in control of the intensity.

Meet the Crew

• Sasha — Creative director and lifelong haunted-house builder. Makes sure every line lands with terror *and* warmth.
• Mo — Lead sound designer. Samples subways, radiators, and analog synths for our monster beds.
• Priya — Developmental psychologist. Stress-tests every script against COPPA, SEL best practices, and parent feedback.
• Gabe — Infrastructure engineer. Obsessed with offline reliability and instant latency.

Safety First, Always

Every new monster call goes through a “safe scare” review:

• Consent checklist built into the UI
• Tunable intensity with two-tap exit
• Post-call decompression prompts so parents can guide the conversation back to calm
