## What is Spark?

Spark is a daily puzzle app where curiosity comes to play.

Each day, Spark explores a single theme, from rebellions and rockets to Pokémon and potatoes, through thoughtful puzzles spanning history, pop culture, science, geography, sports, and more.

With four unique games and new puzzles every day, Spark makes learning part of your routine. Each game offers a different way to explore the day’s theme, whether you’re spotting connections, making comparisons, or reasoning through new facts.

Learn as you play, without pressure, timers, or tests, just the joy of discovery.

Spark’s games include:
This or That: Choose between two options to learn more about the day’s theme 
Links: Find the common thread connecting people, places, and ideas
Chrono: Put events in order to see how history really unfolded
Knockout: Uncover surprising comparisons in a series of fun head-to-head matchups 

All of Spark’s puzzles are human-crafted by experts, not AI and designed to spark those “aha” moments that make ideas stick. 

Daily themes are explored from multiple angles, with an archive of hundreds of past puzzles so you can revisit previous topics anytime. Along the way, you’ll uncover facts that are fun to learn and even better to share.

From the creators of Elevate and Balance, Spark is part of a collection of mental fitness apps designed to strengthen your mind.

### 4/5 — money

*2026-08-23, version 1.40.0*

Good, but to do more than a few things per day you have to pay. between each game they show u ads and beg you to buy their subscription. it is good and educational but at the cost of annoying ads

### 5/5 — Intriguing factoids

*2026-08-23, version 1.40.0*

Great puzzles that are fun and intellectually stimulating. Love them!

### 5/5 — One of my top 3 favorite apps on my phone

*2026-08-23, version 1.40.0*

This is the app I most look forward to opening every day. I always learn something new, and I appreciate all of the editors’ perspectives and unique voices. It’s clear they love working on the puzzles and it’s such fun.

### 5/5 — Unique and interesting

*2026-08-22, version 1.40.0*

Increasing difficult, but do-able and builds knowledge. Can be humbling.

### 5/5 — Spark

*2026-08-22, version 1.40.0*

Great app to start your morning that’s not scrolling. Love this app and couldn’t recommend it enough!

### 5/5 — Incredible Learning Experience in the form of a game

*2026-08-22, version 1.40.0*

Each day has a theme and after each game, there’s a bit of knowledge given that helps with the next game. Four games in total.  If you enjoy learning random facts, this is the app for you!

### 5/5 — Excellent and educational

*2026-08-22, version 1.40.0*

My 9-year-old loves it and has learned a lot of things from it that I don’t know myself. It’s the only app I let him use.

### 5/5 — Amazing App!!!

*2026-08-22, version 1.40.0*

This app is so fun!! I enjoy the daily puzzles and watching my streak grow and grow. But what I love most, is that there is absolutely no ai on this app. It’s created by REAL people and that is awesome!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Loving Learning

*2026-08-22, version 1.40.0*

I’ve been enjoying this so much. I would really like to get the Plus version one day so that I can play the archives and stuff. It is helping me learn things and I always thought my brain was broken and didn’t learn  well. But apparently I was just bored? I don’t know but I’ve recommended this to my friends it makes me so happy even when I get things wrong.

### 1/5 — Another cash grab disguised as a good cause

*2026-08-21, version 1.40.0*

Nothing on the Apple Store page said it was pay to play and that is very disappointing. I breezed through my 3 free games and really thought this would be an interesting game so I’m very sad to be proven otherwise. It’s advertised as a replacement for scrolling brain rot but once again learning isn’t free and scrolling is, and yet we wonder why the rot continues. Very disappointing. Really wanted to enjoy this one.
