What’s It About?
Users slide numbered tiles around a four-by-four grid, matching up multiples of three, which create bigger numbers and a higher score. When users can no longer combine numbers, they'll see their scores.
Is It Any Good?
Hit games come and go in the app stores, but, if there's any justice in the world, THREES! will have a long ride. It's not simply smart, challenging, baffling, or funny -- it's also utterly addictive. It's a math game that doesn't require a lot of calculations, and it's a matching game that doesn't dumb itself down with cartoonish images.
The lure of building bigger and bigger numbers is powerful and will keep you coming back. And if that, for some reason, doesn't do it, seeing your friends talk about their scores on social media (or seeing them in Apple's Game Center) will spur you to try harder. As with the best games, it's easy to understand but hard to master -- but that won't stop you from trying to do so.

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.
