National Geographic will help you find out if you know your stuff no matter your age. The object of the game is to correctly answer the multiple choice questions and discover the locations on the map as quickly as possible since both are scored separately. You must also hit a target score to move on to the next round, otherwise you’ll have to start all over. The game includes more than 1,300 questions, and more than 1,000 locations to pick out. It also includes achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

You want to find out if you’re smarter than kids in school.

Why we picked this?

In each of the 100 levels, all you have to do is throw a ball into a box. How difficult can that be? Turns out, pretty difficult. The ball in question is super duper bouncy, and the path to the box is almost always obstructed. Pull back in the target area to launch the ball and bounce it off of anything and everything, just as long as it’s not the edges of the box. Otherwise you won’t achieve a perfect rating. On the positive side, you get as many chances as you like to score a trick shot.

You love physics games. Trick Shot is the ultimate physics game.

You hate trial and error.

Why we picked this?

Musical Paint For Kids provides a multi-sensory experience for your child. They’re able to select from six adjustable colors and then paint their hearts out. Each color is accompanied by a different tune, so each stroke will create beautiful music. Your child can sign their work of art before saving it, adding a nice personal touch.

You want to embrace your child’s artistic talents. It provides another level of interaction by having each stroke make a tune.

You have a child older than eight. The experience might be lackluster for them due to the limited selection of tools. Check out Musical Paint Pro instead.
