Pyatyorochka’s new audio tales turn nutrition into a playful adventure for kids

Pyatyorochka has launched a new audio fairy tale series to teach children about healthy eating. Called Detective Max and Simka, the project turns nutrition lessons into fun, engaging stories for preschoolers and younger schoolchildren. The first two episodes are already available, with the final one due by the end of December 2025.

The series is part of Pyatyorochka’s Caring for the Future sustainability programme. This initiative focuses on promoting healthy lifestyles among children and teenagers. Earlier efforts, like the Nutrition School, have already helped hundreds of thousands of students develop better eating habits.

Each episode of Detective Max and Simka runs for about 20 minutes and features professional voice actors. The stories follow two characters as they solve food-related mysteries, with themes ranging from the benefits of vitamins to trying new foods. Yekaterina Demeshko, CEO of Meloman—the company producing the series—described it as a creative way to make learning about nutrition enjoyable. The project builds on Pyatyorochka’s ongoing work to teach healthy habits in an accessible format. By blending storytelling with practical lessons, the series aims to keep young listeners entertained while encouraging better food choices.

The audio series will roll out in stages, with all episodes expected by late 2025. Through interactive tales and relatable characters, Detective Max and Simka offers a playful approach to nutrition education. Families can now access the first two episodes, with more mysteries and lessons on the way.
