Potion Puzzle

Oh no! The wizards of Colorup Made a mess, their potions all mixed up Move colors from one vial to another Until each one contains only one and the same color!

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!

REMARK! Whenever you match a color, a narrator will also say the word to reinforce it. This and more can be turned on/off in the settings. The game contains infinite puzzles and you can retry/undo easily without penalty.

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.

This product is part of the Puzzle Game charm. These are digital games that offer fun little challenges for Apprentices to solve, letting them explore and practice a topic all on their own. Most games do not require reading, counting, or computer skills (unless they specifically teach those things), and always offer endless puzzles at five different difficulty levels.
