Kids receive coins for accomplishing this. Kids then drag and drop the Nooms onto different Tetris-like spaces that require a specific-sized Noom (an Eight or a Six, for instance) to complete a picture, such as an animal or food. You can “feed” Nooms to other Nooms to add them, or slice them at different segments to break them apart (cutting a Four at the top would create a One and a Three, but slicing it in half would create two Twos). The goal is to complete a pattern by creating different numbers. Kids tap pipes at the top of the screen to send Ones and Twos flying down on the screen. “One” is a hyperactive, wild little fellow, and “Three” is a little more mischievous, shouting, “Yeah, Three!” in a proud tone. ![]() Each one has its own personality, represents a different number (one through ten), and says its name in a different voice. Here, kids meet the Nooms, adorable characters that resemble sticks of different lengths. The main feature, though, is the Puzzles mode. Lastly, “Run” is a side-scrolling mode (meaning the screen moves on its own from left to right, forcing you to move with it) where kids slide their finger over numbers to raise/lower the Noom and collect stars and coins at different heights. Once you’re in the “parent zone,” kids can choose one of several modes of play: “Puzzles” “Sandbox,” where kids can tinker freely with the cute number characters called Nooms and “Ladder,” where the goal is to create a certain number. Since the game is designed for kids ages 4-8, starting up the game requires a parent to create a profile for the child and register by email. DragonBox Numbers is a cute math game that focuses on developing intuitive “number sense” in children rather than forcing rote memorization.
