Kohs Block Design

Read full description

This app makes preparing for block design tests (WISC, IQ, etc.) fun and engaging. By using these block-based games, children can develop pattern-building skills while improving logical thinking, memory, hand coordination, color recognition, and concentration. Two Game Modes: 1. Solo Pattern Mode Designed for individual play, this mode challenges players to recreate patterns using Kohs cubes. A scoring system tracks the top 10 pattern designers. Start with the cubes in a predefined setup (e.g., all red sides facing up). Adjust difficulty by toggling the guiding lines between cubes. You have 60 seconds to complete each pattern. Press "Finish" when done—faster completion earns more points. If time runs out, enter your name if you made it into the top 10 leaderboard. 2. Multiplayer Pattern Mode Perfect for 2 to 6 players, this mode turns pattern-building into a fun competition. All players start with the cubes in the same initial setup. Enter player names; turns follow a set order (1 to 6). Press "Start Round" when the player is ready. If a player fails to complete a pattern in time, they are eliminated. With each round, the time limit decreases by 1 second (starting at 60s). The fastest and most skilled player wins the game! Stay focused—your family or friends might just beat your high score!
