Ghostwire Tokyo helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Working Memory: Recalling and retaining information in our minds while working. 

In order to successfully subdue and defeat the Visitors that Akito and KK encounter, the player needs to be able to use their working memory skills to recall what attacks will work best in a situation and which buttons correspond to those attacks. The player has three different ways to engage with Visitors; they can shoot at them with a bow and arrow, use talismans to stun, block, or distract them, and they can also use three different types of elemental magic. All of these different strategies are mapped to different buttons on the controller/keyboard, so the player needs to be comfortable with how to access these items while in the middle of combat. 

Flexibility: Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

There are several ways in which the player uses flexibility skills as they progress through the game. While moving around the city, players will find that their path is often blocked by poisonous fog or torii gates that have not been cleansed. The player needs to use their flexibility skills to get where they need to go by trying a different route or by adjusting their current goal until that area can be cleared. 

Players can also use their flexibility by trying one of the many side missions available in the game. In addition to Visitors roaming the city, there are also spirits of people with unfinished business or curses that have been placed upon them. The player can try something new by diverting from the main story and spending some time to help out these side characters so that they can move on to the spirit world. The player can also complete side quests for the nekodama, or cat yokai that have stalls all over the city. These cats are looking for various rare objects scattered around the world. The player can take some time to find them and bring them to their respective cat, which will then give the player access to more money, more spirits to rescue, new outfits, and new poses for camera mode. 

Flexibility is also an important part of combat in Ghostwire Tokyo. In order to successfully defeat some of the enemies in the game, the player needs to switch quickly between different styles of attacks, as well as different types of elemental magic. The player needs to be flexible in the moment and decide what is the best approach for this particular group of enemies rather than simply using the same approach each time.
