Logic puzzles and brain games for kids
These logic puzzles for kids practise spotting patterns, following a rule, remembering, planning ahead and checking whether a claim holds up. Each one is a story game with a guide, a place to explore and a guardian at every level.
Children continue number sequences, sort things by a hidden rule, find matching pairs of ideas, crack coded messages and follow chains of clues. They turn and mirror shapes in their head, remember where things are hidden and keep their focus when arrows point the wrong way. They also learn to tell facts from opinions, match evidence to claims and check where information comes from. The games are made for ages 8 to 13.
The games, one by one
Cipher Spire
Ages 8–13 · 16 levels
A logic tower to climb floor by floor. Each floor brings its own kind of puzzle: patterns, sorting by a hidden rule, number sequences, analogies, putting steps in the right order, mirror images, coded messages and chains of clues. Tick, the Spire's guide, comes along, and about half of the floors open with a short explanation.
Watchglass Keep
Ages 8–12 · 16 levels
Practises the skills every puzzle depends on: remembering where things are hidden, keeping focus when arrows point the wrong way, turning and flipping shapes in the mind, seeing a courtyard through another camera, planning moves ahead and catching the liar among several voices.
Hearsay Harbour
Ages 8–12 · 16 levels
Children become the Inspector of Hearsay Harbour and learn to think clearly about claims: facts and opinions, adverts and information, a claim and its reason, which proof fits, reliable sources and dates, fair tests, and why two things happening together does not mean one caused the other.
How levels work, and what is free
Every game is a trail of levels that get harder as they go. Each level has its own guardian, and every right answer wears it down. Fast answers earn bonus points, but only accuracy counts for the rest: up to three stars show how many answers were right, and the next level opens once at least 60% of the answers in the one before it were right.
Levels 1 and 2 of every game can be played straight away, with no account. Levels 3 and 4 need a free account. From level 5 on, levels are part of the subscription. The games run in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install.
Questions parents ask
Which brain game should my child try first?
Cipher Spire is the classic puzzle tower and goes up to age 13. Watchglass Keep is for children who like memory and shape puzzles. Hearsay Harbour is for those who enjoy detective work with words, headlines and evidence.
Is there a time limit on the puzzles?
Yes. Every question has a timer, or in some levels the whole board does, and quick answers earn bonus points. An answer that runs out of time counts as wrong. Apart from that, the stars, and whether the next level opens, depend only on how many answers were right, not on speed.
Are the logic puzzles free?
Levels 1 and 2 of every brain game are free without an account, and levels 3 and 4 are free with an account. From level 5 on, the puzzles are part of the subscription.
What kinds of puzzles are there?
Picking the right answer, sorting cards into groups, putting cards in order, finding a spot on a picture, memory boards, filling gaps in a sentence, yes-or-no questions and popping the right balloons. Each level uses one of these.
