Read full description

Can you picture which solid a flat net will fold into? FoldShape Quest lets you fold a net one hinge at a time and watch it close into a 3D solid. Squares become a box, triangles become a tent, and you can rotate every shape with your finger. If net questions make you freeze, if cutting and gluing paper models takes too long, or if mountain and valley folds still feel fuzzy, this puzzle is for you. No scissors or paper needed. Tap "Fold next" and one hinge on the net folds while the 3D view follows. Each hinge is marked as a valley, mountain, or locked fold, so you can see which way it bends before you fold it. 5 PUZZLES • First Cube Net (cube) • Triangle Tent (tetrahedron) • Hex Prism Wrap (hexagonal prism) • Hinge Direction Gate (compare mountain, valley, and locked hinges) • Bridge Solid Boss (combine folds in opposite directions) FEATURES • See the net and the 3D solid together as you fold • Rotate the 3D view with your finger and look from any angle • Use hints when you get stuck • Earn 1 to 3 stars based on the hints you used and your time • Track XP and solved puzzles in your Research notebook • Check each finished solid and every hinge angle in the Lab • Available in 10 languages Progress is saved on your device. No account, no ads, and no additional in-app purchases. Start with the cube and fold your first net.

Practise spatial skills for 11+ non-verbal reasoning and CAT4-style spatial tasks. Preparing for grammar school or independent school assessments? Foldmetry offers short, focused practice in visualising shapes, understanding folds, and reasoning in 3D. Use it alongside your wider preparation: it is not a complete 11+ or CAT4 course and does not reproduce official tests. Foldmetry turns six spatial-reasoning skills into clear, interactive exercises: • Mental Rotation: recognize a solid after it turns in 3D • Cube Nets: predict how a flat net folds into a cube • Perspective Taking: visualize structures from another viewpoint • Paper Folding: reverse folds and predict position patterns • Block Assembly: count volume, missing cubes, and exposed faces • Cross Sections: find exact slices through 3D structures START FREE Start all six paths, complete the first two lessons in each path, try a daily mixed session, and review up to three missed questions at a time. Best scores, stars, streaks, and recent progress stay on your device. TIMED EXAM-STYLE PRACTICE With Pro, try 12 mixed questions across all six skills, with 40 seconds per question. Review accuracy and response time by skill to plan your next session. This is Foldmetry's own practice format, not an official exam simulation. PRACTICE YOUR WAY WITH FOLDMETRY PRO Unlock all 36 guided lessons, full ten-question Mistake Review, unlimited practice at difficulty levels 1–10, selectable session lengths, and complete training history. Choose an annual subscription with a 7-day free trial for eligible customers, or unlock Pro with a one-time lifetime purchase. Pricing and eligibility appear in the App Store purchase sheet. Restore purchases at any time from Settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No behavioral tracking across apps or websites. Your training history, mistake queue, and preferences remain on your device. Foldmetry uses privacy-friendly anonymous analytics (TelemetryDeck) to understand which features help; you can turn this off in Settings.
