THIS GAME IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Flexibility

Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

Using the same basic premise, players must be able to solve hundreds of unique puzzle scenarios. Each level utilizes the same tools and mechanics, however the layout, obstacles, and variety of tools provided require players to develop and use a new strategy each time. Being able to think outside of the "box" can greatly benefit players who are forced to use their tools in new and increasingly complex ways as the game progresses. Strategies that were successful in previous levels may be unavailable or unsuccessful in later levels forcing users to reassess their strategies and develop new solutions to difficult problems. Players who are able to adapt and create viable strategies that evolve with the gameplay will often be more successful and score higher than those who cannot.

Planning

Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

Bloom Box requires players to build their boxes so that when the first box is destroyed all other boxes are subsequently destroyed in a chain reaction. Players cannot choose the start point for the reaction and must consider movable boxes, immovable boxes, obstacles, and collectable stars into their layout before starting the chain reaction. Though players may reset levels and try again, each chain reaction allows a single attempt. Because once the reaction is started it is unable to be stopped, players must plan and consider their strategies carefully in advance. Taking time to plan and assess the best locations in which to place their assets, double check their work, and create an optimal layout can increase scores and efficiency while decreasing frustration. Players will exercise the Planning thinking skill when developing new strategies for increasingly difficult and unique levels through Bloom Box.
