What's It About?
Kids get a color to memorize. When they're ready, they hit "start" and go to a screen with a blank color square, several help buttons, and sliding scales for red, green, and blue. Kids will slide the color scales back and forth until they've matched the memorized color as closely as possible. Help options can only be used once each per eight-round game. After kids click "done," they’ll get their score and see their color compared to the original color and the amounts of red, green, and blue in each.
Is It Any Good?
COLORBLIND is a simple game that tests your color memory and teaches you how to mix colors using different amounts of red, green, and blue. There are no included instructions, but one play through the game will show how it works. Each game consists of eight rounds, each of which tests your memory to re-create one color. There are several included options to give you hints along the way. This game isn't extensive or sophisticated, but it is well done and is unlike traditional memory games. It also keeps track of your highest percentage score and shows that on the main menu.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
