Why we picked this?

A Tri is a set of three symbols. Each symbol has four different properties: shape, color, fill, and number. The object of the game is to match sets of three symbols according to their properties. For example, the number of the three symbols in a Tri must either be all of the same or all different, or they must all be of the same shape or all different. Just tap on symbols to select and match them up. The game includes single and multiplayer modes, and a total of 45 levels.

At the beginning of the game you’re presented with a chalkboard grid that includes a handful of numbers.

All of the numbers in your equation must be adjacent to each other to be valid. If you run out of numbers, swipe up, down, left, or right to add new ones. Once the board fills up, it’s game over.
