The Playroom is an educational video game published in 1989 for MS-DOS, Apple II, and Mac.

[6] The 1995 remake includes additional content to the existing activities[7] and the presence of Pepper's sister Ginger.

The game is designed to make younger players comfortable within their surroundings as they become absorbed in the activities,[8] helps them get ready for school[9] and offers them learning opportunities in a non-threatening manner.

[11] It pays great attention to detail, clearly spelling out meanings to make reading letters and words plus typing easy.

[22] The game was reviewed in the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Guide Book where the authors described it as "virtual reality for three- to six-year-olds" and claimed that "[t]here is real education going on behind the scenes of this creative playroom".
