Parents' Guide to Injini: Child Development Game Suite

Ease of Play

This app is easy to use, and instructions are provided in the beginning of each game as well as in the overall menu. Instructions are sometimes written, but also demonstrated on the screen with an audio explanation, and kids can press the "?" key for a visual clue during a game. In addition to the tutorial, each game (except farm animals) contains nine different levels that slowly progress in difficulty. For example, the puzzle moves from completing one piece in Level 1 to completing a nine-piece jigsaw puzzle in Level 9. Starting at Level 1, kids complete several different rounds (usually about 10) of the game. When they finish or pause and exit, a red arrow on the game's menu screen will point to the level they were working on, so they can return there (or skip ahead or back as they wish). The repetitive cues and simple layout make this game exceptionally easy to navigate for preschoolers and adults alike.
