  4. Use the free Hint if you are stuck. Finishing quickly and without hints earns 3 stars.
  5. Each solved level earns XP and unlocks the next on the ladder.

Maths skills it builds

  • Spatial reasoning
  • Logical deduction
  • Planning ahead
  • Pattern recognition
  • Persistence

Why it works

Spatial and logical thinking underpin geometry, algebra and problem solving, and children rarely practise them directly. These puzzles use no numbers at all, so a child who feels anxious about arithmetic can still enjoy being clever. Because every level has one verified solution, children can always reason their way to the answer.
