The game is suitable for both adults and children by playing you train your brain in various ways.
In some games it is necessary to remember patterns and rebuild them, in others players have move blocks or arrange numbers, some of the games have time limits so players are asked to play fast and concentrated.

I like that this game is easy to use on the smartphone and therefore immediately usable to support concentration in a variety of activities and topics, not only for maths.
