About Brain Teasers for Kids
Brain Teasers for Kids is a journey of 30 levels across 3 worlds: the forest ๐ณ, the desert ๐ช and outer space ๐. Every level has 5 different puzzles, each with 4 choices and only one right answer, and the game makes fresh puzzles every time, so you can't just remember the answers.
The puzzles: What comes next? with numbers that grow, shrink or double; Finish the pattern with shapes and colours; Odd one out with animals, fruit and vehicles; Fruit equations like ๐ + ๐ = 10 and ๐ + ๐ = 8, so what is ๐?; the 3x3 grid where you fill the empty square; and Mirror and turn, where you picture a shape flipped or given a quarter turn.
It gets harder gently: the first world is easy and great for a first go, the second adds grids and mirrors, and the third brings turns, times sequences and equations with multiplying. If you get one wrong, the game shows the right answer and why, and you have 3 hints ๐ก per world that remove two wrong choices. Each level earns up to 3 stars, saved on the map.

Tips to win
- In number sequences, work out the gap between each pair: if it stays the same, keep going; if it grows, see by how much.
- In patterns, follow the shape and the colour separately; sometimes each one repeats in its own way.
- In fruit equations, start with the line that has only one kind of fruit.
- In a mirror, left becomes right but the top stays at the top.
Brain Teasers for Kids: questions and answers

They suit children from 8 to 12. The first world is easy enough for 8 year olds, and the third world is a real challenge for 11 and 12 year olds, and even for grown-ups.
Do the puzzles repeat?
No. The game makes new puzzles every time a level is played, so children have to think rather than remember.
What skills do they build?
Logical thinking, attention to detail, mental arithmetic and picturing shapes in your head: the same skills used in reasoning tests and school competitions.
Is the game free?
It is completely free with no sign-up and no download, and stars and hints are only saved on your own device.
