ThinkFun’s 2017 games:

//CODE Programming Game Series

On The Brink, Ages 8 and up, single player, MSRP: $14.99

Can you keep your robot on the brink? In this hands-on game you get to play programmer building “procedures” that guide your robot along a path from start to finish. There are 40 challenges picturing colored paths. The colors signify moves for your robot to follow. Your job? Finding the correct sequence of moves for each color. To do so you’ll need to flex your problem solving muscles. Beginner challenges introduce sequencing in its simplest form but by the time you reach advanced you’ll be building sequences out of sequences—now that’s thinking like a true programmer!

Rover Control, Ages 8 and up, single player, MSRP: $14.99

Prepared for a programming space mission? In this 40-challenge game two Rovers have been sent to explore Mars. The trouble is, the Rovers are programmed to travel on color and most of the pathways were left colorless in a dust storm. You’ll need to call on your critical thinking skills to correctly color the pathways so the Rovers stay on course.
Challenges introduce “decision points,” “loops,” and “increment instructions” as you progress–all advanced computational skills that are delicately embedded into a fun play experience and will have you thinking like a true programmer.

Robot Repair, Ages 8 and up, single player, MSRP: $14.99

Robot Repair is a hands-on coding game that teaches advanced concepts like “Boolean Logic”— a form of algebra that reduces all values to ‘true’ or ‘false.’ We believe that teaching this concept through play is a revolutionary development in helping to prepare children for STEM learning, and it makes for some really fun gameplay!

Clue Master, Ages 8 and up, single player, MSRP: $12.99

In this mind-bending game of deductive reasoning, players use positive and negative visual clues to unlock the secret door.
