The Get Out Kids helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Focus: Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks. 

In order to complete all the chapters in the story, the player needs to focus while they are reading and pay attention to what they need to be looking for within the diorama set pieces. For example, sometimes the character will need an item and the player needs to pay attention so they know what they are looking for. Other times, the characters will need to create a distraction and the player needs to be aware of how to accomplish this with the items they have in their inventory. The text on the screen does not repeat so without focus, the player may need to start the chapter from the beginning and go through all the previous portions of it in order to get to the part they need. Going slow and reading with purpose will ensure that the player gets the message the first time. 

Flexibility: Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

There are several puzzles that need to be completed in The Get Out Kids and the player needs to use flexibility and approach them with an open mind. Some of the puzzles require the player to turn headlights on and off in a pattern that allows Molly and Salim to sneak by without being seen. Others require the player to pick locks, find the right frequency on a radio, or even take out some scary bats. Keeping an open mind and looking at all the possible actions before moving can give the player a better chance of completing the puzzle without having to redo the chapter.
