New songs, smarter conversations, and more ways to play
December Magic Update
Version 1.07 Now Available
Our early December update is packed with joyful surprises. Ellie and Ember can now sing, play with new animations, track your riddle progress, and start more meaningful conversations on their own.
With improved responsiveness, easier discovery in the app, and automatic animation updates, the magic doesn’t stop; it keeps unfolding. We can’t wait for you to explore it all.
Rolling out automatically to Imagix devices starting December 10th, or update manually via the Imagix Portal App.
Original Songs. Magical Performances.
Original songs. Magical performances.
Ellie and Ember can now dance along to new original songs. Just say “Sing a song” after waking them up and they’ll perform one of several original songs, complete with special animations designed just for music moments. Some even come with surprises.
Improved Companion App
Easier than ever to jump in and play.
We’ve added clearer guides and helpful tips throughout the app so parents and kids can quickly learn all the ways to play with Imagix, whether it’s stories, riddles, songs, or free chat.
Download New Animations
More ways to bring them to life.
You can now add brand-new animations to your Crystal Ball. Find them in the app under Device Settings → Skills, where you can download general animations, song animations, and riddle animations. They take a little time, but they’re worth it.
New magic, delivered automatically.
When your Crystal Ball isn’t being used, it can quietly download new animations in the background. When updates are ready, you’ll see a blue circle on the device, your sign that fresh magic has arrived.
Smarter Riddle Adventures
Riddles that remember you.
Riddle Mode now tracks progress, unlocks custom animations, and creates a more rewarding experience as you play. Ellie and Ember celebrate your wins, help when you’re stuck, and make each riddle feel like part of a bigger adventure.
Living Conversations Mode
They don’t just respond, they connect.
Ellie and Ember are now more proactive and interactive. They’ll check in on you, suggest games, and even explain new features, all automatically, behind the scenes. It feels more like a living friendship than a device.
Switch Characters Anytime
Two characters. Two unique relationships.
You can switch between Ellie and Ember anytime by saying “Switch character” after waking them up. Each character has their own personality, memories, and bond with you, so meeting one for the first time is a special moment.
Faster, Smoother Conversations
More responsive. More natural.
We’ve improved latency and listening behavior so Ellie and Ember respond faster, hear you more clearly, and flow more naturally in conversation. Less waiting. More magic.
Holiday Surprises
Seasonal magic included.
Ellie and Ember have special holiday animations they may perform when singing songs. We’re not spoiling them, discovering them is part of the fun.
Make sure you are running on the latest magic!
