Best for: Education, Attention & concentration, Understanding of the world
What it is: a simple game teaching basic world geography, divided into 15 missions over 6 continents: 75 countries (capitals, flags, landmarks, neighbors etc). Two modes: learn (review the information about the countries) and the challenge mode (answer the questions).
What you do with it: complete each mission by answering a set of questions about a group of neighboring countries (3-6 countries for each mission, depending on the area of the world): recognize capitals, flags, border contours, landmarks, neighbors etc.
What we liked: the concept. Game-like features (storyline/plot, narration, engagement). Comic style illustrations and animations. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Ease of use. No distracting elements.
What we didn't like: we wish the learning mode would be more engaging and present more content (e.g. pictures of landmarks). The gameplay gets repetitive after some time (you just choose the correct answer from 2 answers presented). The time limit may be too challenging for some kids.
