Overall Score: 97/100

Best for: Education, Attention & concentration, Early math, Thinking & problem solving
What it is/what you do with it: a set of puzzles for addition/division/multiplication and early algebra concepts practice.
Solve the puzzles (you have to combine and match given cards in a certain way) to isolate the 'magic box'.
To get the maximum score you have to optimize the way you match the cards and keep the number of moves to minimum.
The cards start with abstract objects (e.g. monsters) then progress to introduce math symbols and variables.
What we liked: the concept. Excellent combination of puzzle game and math practice. 200 puzzles with progressive difficulty. Great visuals and sound backgrounds. Intro/tutorial with hints and assistance. The option to undo the move and replay each level. Humor and fun factor. Multiple user profiles.
What we didn't like: we wish there were some hints how to optimize your moves.
