7 Games with an Emphasis on Coding, Drawing and Creativity

December 15, 2019 by Paul Shepard

The Osmo Explorer Starter Kit features seven core Osmo games and their hands-on playing pieces, plus additional real-world creative tools. Just add your iPad or Fire tablet.

Each game uses physical action. Whether it’s arranging tangrams, zooming number tiles around, or even freehand drawing, Osmo uses its camera to see and react to every real-live move.

The seven games include:

  • Tangram
    • A timeless game reinvented using a fully interactive video experience.
    • Playing Tangram is a great way to exercise spatial and visual problem-solving skills. Start thinking with shapes!
    • Over 500 different puzzles of different shapes and forms. Animals, numbers humans and more — there’s so much to create.
  • Words
    • The more people the merrier. Words is fun to play alone, but also has modes for playing with friends and family.
    • Over 150 puzzle images and endless new albums created by the community!
    • Have a great idea for a Words album? If so, you can create and share it with our community at myOsmo!
  • Newton
    • Physics meets creative problem solving. Guide falling on-screen balls into targeted zones.
    • 60 levels of fun. As you progress, Newton will challenge you bouncing balls, accelerating platforms and fans!
    • Play with anything and everything. Start with a pen and paper, but also try objects like Osmo Tangram pieces or toys.
  • Masterpiece
    • Take a picture of anything and Masterpiece will transform it into simple outlines so you can draw it to perfection.
    • Learn tangible skills while having fun. Kids can combine their love of technology and drawing, while learning useful skills.
    • When your drawing is done, you can share an awesome time-lapsed video of your work!
  • Numbers
    • Real-time feedback lets kids learn through experimentation in a stress-free environment.
    • When kids get the idea that there are multiple good ways to solve a problem, math becomes creative and fun.
    • Designed for all ages. With a counting, addition, concatenation and multiplication mode, there is a challenge for everybody.
  • Coding Awbie
    • Help Awbie explore a magic world and meet new friends.
    • Uses high-quality physical blocks that kids love and understand.
    • Inspired by 50 years of university research into coding education.
  • Monster
    • Bring your drawings to life! With Monster, your drawings become part of magical animated activities.
    • Multiple Activities, Endless Creativity! Each activity with Mo has many different versions to play again and again.
    • It’s fun to learn with your hands! Combining hand drawings with fun characters sparks their imagination and drive to learn.
