Avokiddo, developer of standout educational apps for young children is proud to announce the release of its app Thinkrolls on iOS and Android. The mind-blowing logic game for kids, launched on October 16 and is featured on the App Store’s home page and Kids category in more than 70 countries. It reached #2 in Education, #3 in Kids and #16 Overall in the US App Store.
Early learning pioneer Maria Montessori once said, “Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.” That’s the philosophy Avokiddo employed in creating Thinkrolls. It presumes kids are smart and challenges them with gameplay that requires out of the box thinking to navigate the rolling ball Thinkroll characters through a series of obstacles in brightly patterned mazes.
Thinkrolls has all the trappings of popular platformer and physics puzzlers, but it incorporates a significant amount of educational content. Every aspect of the app is designed to enhance kids’ logic and problem solving as well as improve spatial cognition, memory, and executive function. Each chapter introduces a new object with unique physical properties which kids discover through hands- on manipulation. Players encounter and use to their advantage force, acceleration, buoyancy, heat, elasticity and gravity to get their Thinkroll where he needs to go.
Young children’s minds are like sponges. They have an amazing capacity to synthesize new information. Kids take risks, innovate and look at everythingwith a fresh eye. Thinkrolls capitalizes on these skills. Each chapter builds upon what they have learned previously and requires significant planning as well as an ability to predict outcomes. The mental flexibility needed to solve the puzzles within the game is the same sort of logic students will employ 10 years later to solve multi-variable algebraic equations.
Thinkrolls receives rave reviews and accolades for its visual excellence and original game-play that fosters creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.
