Review: Help Hippo and Piggy build houses, fair grounds, and much more using 14 different geometric shapes (triangle, semicircle, trapezoid,…). The game is simple and the directions are very clear. Children click on a flashing space in their chosen scene. A friendly voice tells them which shape is needed to fill the space. Four shapes appear to choose from. Once the correct shape is chosen, its name is flashed on the screen and Piggy shakes pom-poms or Hippo plays a congratulatory tune. Gifts are awarded for helping to complete each scene.
Educational Value: I’d give this 4 out of 5 stars for 2-D geometric shape recognition. With 14 shapes, this is not your boring ‘circle, square, triangle’ game.
Style Points: 3 out of 5 points for fun-ness, cuteness, repeatability (kids will play it more than once), and number of different scenes to choose from.
