Description
Potion Puzzle is a digital puzzle game teaching colors, shapes, an introduction to counting, plus a bit of logic and spatial awareness.
On the easiest difficulty,
- You get a few potions, each one containing several different colors.
- Each turn (or “move”), the game highlights one potion.
- You tap another potion to move its top color to the highlighted potion.
- Keep making moves until each potion contains only the same color! (Example: all RED balls are inside the RED potion.)
Of course, there’s one intuitive rule about these potions that makes it a challenge: they can’t overflow! You can’t add more colors than fit inside of it! This means kids need to vaguely judge how many “colored balls” could be added to a potion, which is a prelude to actual counting.
It contains 5 difficulty levels. Later difficulties increase the number and size of potions, as well as the number of steps to complete it. The game also contains a Shape Mode. It’s exactly the same puzzle, but now you’re matching shapes instead of colors.
As expected, the game has no text, numbers, or complex actions. Just tap one potion on each turn. Thanks to these clever rules, though, it is an actual puzzle that will even be interesting to older kids and adults!
Once your kid is comfortable with this puzzle, you can consider moving to more challenging ones such as …
- Colorcross: introduces mixing colors (predicting what they will become is needed to solve the simple puzzles)
- Rainbow Express: combines colors with directions and simple spatial reasoning.

Subject: Mathematics
The curriculum is split into six main subjects that align with your typical school subjects.
This resource is part of the Mathematics subject. Below is a summary:
This subject teaches Mathematics from first principles to calculus. Level 1 explores the basic skills needed before you do any counting or see any numbers (such as grouping and comparing objects). Level 2(+) can then introduce numbers, counting, addition, multiplication, and more.
Faction: Puzzlepages
This resource is part of the Puzzlepages Faction.
But that's just one way to teach and explore its topic(s)!
You can always move to a different Faction to find a more effective way to teach the same topic.

Spell: My First Colors
This resource is part of the My First Colors topic (or "spell").
To learn mathematics, you need to be able to identify, compare, and group things. Colors are the easiest way to do this, because they’re visual and all around you. Teaching about colors allows Apprentices to play games or do puzzles, as well as unlock their creativity by drawing.
This resource also covers other topics. To keep things simple, the curriculum always considers the first topic listed to be the most important.
