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.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Kahoot! Geometry by DragonBox is an exciting geometry game with more than 100 challenging puzzles. Kids learn the fundamental, as well as the more advanced, concepts related to shapes and geometric proofs. Kids can choose from two levels of difficulty, and the puzzles in both levels get increasingly harder to complete. By tapping, drawing, and dragging, kids solve puzzles and gather creatures to form an army and fight the enemy monster, Osgard. The puzzles are highly engaging, and the graphics are bright and colorful. This is a true example of game-based learning. It's important to note that many of the puzzles can be quite difficult, and hints are not available. Parents may need to provide guidance to help kids avoid frustration.

My six year old can play this

There are actually three levels of play: easy, normal, and hard. Both my six and eight year old play this game. It is truly engaging and you can set multiple players that the game remembers with each play. The game does give hints. At the top middle of the screen, it has a light bulb icon that shows the next "rule" the player should employ. It does not give the answers though and on the hardest level, I have been stumped for quite awhile. The graphics are very good on IDevices. No violence except for the monster fights at the end of the levels, but it's the army people jumping at the monsters with a spray of green sparks. No weapons.

Well drawn, very poor documentation / explanation

Coming from the Dragon Box algebra I had high expectations. I found it confusing. My 9 yo found it confusing. It was illogical. Quite simply infuriating. with a high potential I'll be glad when (if?) the authors get round to explaining what is expected of a player. A bright 9 year old and a retired math graduate could not make sense of the progressions.

What’s It About?

KAHOOT! GEOMETRY BY DRAGONBOX begins with a simple, nicely animated background story about a monster taking over a tower, offered in 17 languages. Kids have to collect critters to build an army and fight the monster. They do this by solving the puzzles. Kids can choose from two challenges: normal or hard. Once they choose a challenge, kids work their way through 10 puzzles to progress to the next level. The levels are organized into seven chapters, and kids learn new powers, or rules, in each chapter. As kids solve the puzzles, they develop an understanding of different geometric concepts. However, the game does not review or reinforce the concepts directly, so, if you want kids to be able to transfer what they've learned to another learning environment, it's important to use the parent and teacher resources on the developer's website.

Is It Any Good?

This is a fun, innovative way for kids to learn about geometry. The puzzles are so engaging in Kahoot! Geometry by DragonBoxKAHOOT! GEOMETRY BY DRAGONBOX, it’s hard to put them down. They also do an excellent job of progressing in difficulty and building on concepts learned in previous puzzles. With game-based learning, kids will have fun building their armies of geometric critters while exploring the fundamentals of geometry. Some of the puzzles are very difficult to solve, so it would be great to see some hints added. However, the developer's website has excellent resources that parents can use if kids need extra support.
