Mystery Math Town Arrives For iPad Tomorrow...

Tue, Apr. 2 2013

Can you stand the suspense?

Just one more day and our new educational game, Mystery Math Town, can be yours.

We shared an advance preview with teachers, parents, and app reviewers, and here's what they are saying:  

"My students liked having to explore the the houses.  It gave them a choose your own adventure style gameplay that they loved.  By giving them the freedom to explore, you've created a game the kids are eager to get back to." 

– Sarah Emerling, Teacher/Reviewer Fun Educational Apps 

 

"Be afraid, very afraid of how much joy your child will experience while learning basic math skills with this friendly, ghost led adventure Mystery Math Town - 5/5 stars.

– Mitchell Cogert, Kids Best iPad Apps

 

"If any of my readers have been to Walt Disney World, Magic Kingdom lately, you may have noticed a new technical integration of talking paintings that guide you through the park in order to solve a mystery.  While exploring Mystery Math Town on my device this memory of Magic Kingdom came to mind as I opened doors, zipped down stairs and interacted with talking paintings or animated objects within each room while doing math."

– Andrea Gardner, Applicable2U

I'm going to stop right there, because once somebody mentions Mystery Math Town in the same breath as Disney World, well, there's really nothing more I can add.

See you tomorrow.

Making a Difference - One Educational App at a Time

Mon, Apr. 1 2013

I hope you had a nice Easter.

I went out yesterday with the family - my two kids (ages 7 and 2+), my wife, and my dad and stepmom, for a nice dinner.

And yes, we're one of those families who brings the iPads to the table when we dine out.

As we were finishing our meal, my stepmom, who is a PR specialist, asked me about our new Mystery Math Town app and in an instant my 7-year-old son was giving her a demo.

As he was playing the game, the restaurant manager wandered by and glanced over his shoulder - and stopped.

He stood there, watching my son play the game for a few seconds and looked up, nodding his head with a big smile, "very educational," he said.

At that point everyone at the table leapt into salesperson mode, explaining that my company made the game and that it would be available to the public on Wednesday.

When he told us that he had a 3-year-old at home and he was looking for good apps for her, my nearly three-year-old daughter whipped out another iPad to show him Alien Buddies.

He was duly impressed.

And when it came time to leave, he went out of his way to shake my hand and he thanked me for doing something that makes a difference.

It's hard work making apps and even harder work making successful apps, but it's important to remember success can be measured in many ways.

Making a difference means a lot.

Mystery Math Town Coming Next Week For Your iPad

Wed, Mar. 27 2013

We got good news from Apple today - Mystery Math Town is Approved and Ready for Sale in the App Store!

But you can't have it...yet.

You won't actually see it in the App Store until next week.

We scheduled the availability date beyond the expected approval date so we can control the launch.

It's a far cry from the usual fire drill that erupts when an app is approved and set to go live immediately, inevitably when you're walking out the door after a long day cracking wise on Twitter.

In fact, it's so calm and peaceful around here, I could go for a nap right now.

I just want to collect one more portrait for my Gallery first...

Sorry, I'm teasing again.

Mystery Math Town Available April 3.
