Set Game

This card game may seem simple at first, but it will surprise you. The cards have four attributes: colour, shape, number, and shading. To score, you must find three cards that are either all alike or all different within each of the four categories. Mentally juggling all four categories is more challenging than it sounds!

The Factor Game

How well do you know the factors of numbers from 1 to 100? Take turns (with another player or with the computer) identifying the factors of a number chosen by your opponent. The game ends when there are no more numbers and factors to select. The winner is the player with the greatest sum. Play a few times to develop a strategy!

Knot Funny

This game challenges you to unscramble 16 numbers in a 4-by-4 grid. The catch is that you cannot move individual squares; you have to work with a block of numbers at a time. Although it looks simple, unravelling the scramble will test your patterning skills.

Rubik ʼs Illusion

Your goal: get five of your pieces in a row on this 8-by-4 grid before the computer does. The catch: there is a mirror that doubles the number of squares and doubles each move. There are six levels of difficulty.
