26/06/2012Tricky Tower, Archelino and Marble Monster
This year, FoxMind has the chance to offer to the Canadian
market three new educational 1-player games. Multilingual, they
come from Huch & Friends in Germany and they are all available
now in stores.
TRICKY TOWER
1-player logic game, Tricky Tower offers to children from four
years 40 progressive puzzles. The game has a construction theme and
its bright color pieces, mostly cylinder-shaped, are all in wood.
In Tricky Tower, you need to put the pieces requested one over the
other, in order to see their colors in the same order that the
puzzle shows. Where it gets tricky is that the pieces have
different sizes, sometimes have two colors and some can even fit
into some others! You must therefore use your brain... and hide
here, show that part there and flip over this one to get a perfect
tower, with the colors of the victory.
These friendly challenges have a nice learning curve, to delight
young minds and even, older ones.
See the Tricky Tower page.
ARCHELINO
1-player logic game as well, Archelino offers 60 progressive
puzzles for kids from four years old. From the very firsts puzzles,
Archelino introduces simple logic concepts to the youngest. At
first, you need to put the animals into Noah's ark by replicating
the clues. Very easy, yes, but we will understand that animals have
to be placed in a certain way, a principle that we will need to
apply later in the game, when the clues become harder. Actually,
the more we advance into the game, the more the puzzles are
difficult, offering real challenges.
All in wood, Archelino pieces are adorable and fun to handle. The
game will certainly arise the curiosity of children at all
levels.
See the Archelino page.
MARBLE MONSTER
This other logic 1-player game is for seven years and up. A bit
more difficult than the first two, it offers 60 excellent
progressive challenges in a convenient storage box. The goal is
simple, but from puzzles to puzzles, the path that the little green
monster has to take becomes increasingly difficult to find. A game
of trial and error and visualization, where the brain will get
steel muscles while finding the right way to go. As you play
directly on the storage case, Marble Monster is the perfect game
for the car. As long as there is no bickering, otherwise, it will
take two.
