Puzzle Explorer is a puzzle-building adventure game focused on teaching game design principles to kids. Players travel the world, easily construct complex mazes to share with their friends, and discover tons of National Geographic content.
Players travel between six locations to build mazes: Antarctica, the Australian Outback, the Himalayas, the Nile River Valley, the Yucatan Peninsula, and even Mars.
A family of custom icons serve as a visual language to remind players which actions they can take. Designing ways to communicate with our players was essential since Puzzle Explorer was designed for kids who may not yet be able to read.
