Can you solve the classic puzzle Peg Solitaire? Pegs starts out easy. The shapes and colors matter. You’ll get some hints. And some coaching. You can do it! It’s all about critical thinking. Problem solving. Where to start. What to avoid. Have at it. Make some mistakes. Go back. Try again. It’s all good. 30 logic puzzles. Ages 7 to adult. DESIGNED FOR KIDS Pegs is for all ages, but it was designed with kids in mind. It’s safe, non-violent, and ad-free. It runs offline. There are no in-app purchases and no links to outside content. OUR PHILOSOPHY Play is a big part of how we learn. Our brains, like our muscles, need exercise and challenges. We’re here to help. SPECIAL NEEDS We want everyone to be able to play. Autism Spectrum: Kids can proceed at their own pace. There’s no timing involved. Levels can be played in any order. The early puzzles are relatively easy. Later puzzles get much more challenging. And there’s always the “Go Back” and “Try Again” icons. Non-Readers: After some simple instructions, there is nothing to read. Just play. Color Blind: The pegs are distinguished by both shape and color, so color blindness is never an issue. Mobility Impairments: There’s no timing involved. You only need to tap to play. The tap areas are large. Tap the “Go Back” icon if you occasionally miss. Enjoy the game! Rick Meyers rick@whitepixels.com
