Snarky, historical chat has facts but some fantasy, too.

What’s It About?
EINEE - TALK TO EINSTEIN is a chat game that allows kids to "chat" with Einstein, Cleopatra, Leonardo da Vinci, Napoleon, Marilyn Monroe, and Donald Trump. Kids are given three questions or phrases to choose from on each screen, and then the character responds. Kids can focus on more serious questions about history, science, politics, and more, or they can approach the chat with sarcasm and take a different route. Topics cover everything from their family life to the society in which they lived to political thoughts and ambitions. There are also threads on beauty tips, clothing, hair, makeup, and diet. Some of the threads are about the characters' feelings on various topics.
Is It Any Good?
This is a fun idea with some definite entertainment value as long as kids understand that it's not necessarily all factual information. Einee - Talk to Einstein is clever. It weaves the facts into each chat in engaging ways that kids will really enjoy. It occasionally takes the snark factor too far, although kids may find that adds to the humor. The questions and comments kids are given to use can be rude and disrespectful, and some of the learning is sacrificed as a result. It's obvious while using Einee - Talk to Einstein that this isn't meant for younger kids, but that's not clear before purchasing. While teens and adults will likely be entertained and may even learn a few things, parents may want to screen before handing it over to tweens. For those who dive in, it's a silly way to pass some time, pick up a few facts, and maybe get inspired to dig deeper and learn more.

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 suggesting a diversity update.
