Your child will engage in a variety of content each time he or she plays theGames. There are almost 200 question types, with THOUSANDS of possible question and answer configurations. Never a dull moment. Questions and topics are introduced progressively, so the app continues to provide challenging questions even after the child has been using the app for months.

When you slide out the answer puzzle tab, check to see if the puzzle pieces are in the right place. If the animal puzzle looks jumbled, that shows that there are some wrong answers.
