Marble Math and Marble Math Junior have each received a 2013 ON for Learning Award from Common Sense Media.
The award is given to the apps, games, and websites that received the highest rating for learning potential from Common Sense.
We're especially excited because our apps won 2 of only about 50 awards this year.
And we're in good company - here's the list of Winners:

Now I'm going to see if I can talk Steve into parachuting into the ceremony tonight at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco dressed as one of the Mystery Math Town characters to promote our new app.

I grabbed some video from our final Mystery Math Town production meetings last week so you can get a peek behind the curtain at (The Great and Powerful) Artgig Apps.
Watch as Matt, Steve, Jim and Lis tackle tough last minute design decisions, investigate Google bugs (while dodging barking dogs) and settle once and for all whether or not Elvis has left the building.
It's as real as app development gets.
Just one more week of this and you'll finally get to play the game for yourself.
Hang in there.
Mystery Math Town coming to the App Store April 3.

Clara runs the only dance studio in town - she's also the mayor.
Bradford, well, he's busy perfecting the art of handlebar mustache waxing.
The Admiral loves talking tactics - especially when it involves chasing pirates.
And Flapjack is just waiting patiently for a slice of Shirley's shoo-fly pie.
People really seem to enjoy meeting the characters of Mystery Math Town as we release their individual trading cards on our Facebook page.
Have you collected the first 12?
We'll keep releasing them right through launch.
Speaking of launch, we submitted the app to Apple on Wednesday for review.
Which reminds me, we have a big announcement:
Mystery Math Town will be available in the App Store April 3.
Now I know it's pretty brave to set a hard launch date in bold type before the app is even approved, but we have some padding in our plans - hopefully, we don't need it.So mark your calendar, set your alarm or leave a detailed message in permanent marker on the back of your hand - whatever gets the job done.
If that fails, we'll still remind you.And we'll try to keep you entertained until then.
