ABOUT CRAZY GEARS
Explore a captivating digital playground in this tantalizing puzzle game! Children manipulate gears, chains, rods, and pulleys, to pull themselves through each level, which teaches them how different mechanisms affect one another when constructing a machine. Each reasoning challenge was carefully designed to adhere to the theories of educational technology pioneer, mathematician, computer scientist, and designer of the first programming language for children, Seymour Papert.
“The best use of games is to leverage their tendency to enhance learning”- Papert
Recommended Ages 5-9
As a child, Papert fell in love with gears. Their movement fascinated him in every way and inspired his career. Crazy Gears was conceived not only as a tribute to him, but with the hope of providing a child with the inspiration to discover and understand the physical properties of mechanisms found in their everyday lives. Such complex notions include tension, motion, and gravity. We achieve this by encouraging the child to manipulate the objects in each level to determine how they work together to accomplish a goal. Interactions with technology give kids the power to construct their understanding of STEM/STEAM subjects in meaningful ways. Here we engage them in play that does just that!

It’s fun the problem is after you get to level 55 you can’t really get past the level so if you think you are really good at doing really hard levels get it but I don’t think you should get it if your only a little good at it than don’t get it I’m really good at puzzles and it’s still really hard don’t get it my whole family tried to play it but they could not get past the level this is how many people live in my family 23 can you believe that

I downloaded this for my 12, 5, and 2 year old. They’ve been using it for about 6 months and LOVE it. Highly recommended!
Fun then challenging

My 5yo really enjoys this. As she’s progressed through the levels, she’s gotten frustrated but I think that’s ok. We are starting over at the beginning until she can crack the code.
A purchase that you won't regret
