My Kids Love This Game! – Upzle Review

We have a 6 year-old boy and a 14 year-old girl, who both love to play Upzle! They have been hooked on the game for a year or more now, since when they were 5 and 13 years old, respectively. There is a lot of competition at times to get ahold of my iPhone, because both kids love to play Upzle on it, and, sometimes I actually need to use my phone too for business or a personal call! Whenever my phone is missing, all I need to do is search for one of my children playing Upzle on it. It’s good in a way because they have learned to take good care of my phone and have a vested interest in making sure it does not dropped or damaged. Their scores in Upzle have gotten better and better and they enjoy seeing if they can break their previous high scores. They never seem to tire of the game even after playing it for over a year. It seems the game provides a mental challenge or brain workout and elements of fun too, so the kids find it novel again and again. I am happy to have them play it, unlike many video games, because it looks to me like they are challenged to utilize visual-spatial reasoning skills to work the puzzles in Upzle as it “goes up”. Their IQs might be going up too as they play Upzle, rather than getting dumbed down or inundated with violence like so many other video games seem to do to kids.
