Numberblocks Treasure Hunt is an educational application developed by experts in the Early Years Foundation Stage and the BAFTA-winning animation studio Blue Zoo Productions, who are known for creating popular shows like Alphablocks, Numberblocks, and Colorblocks. The app is designed to make learning about numbers engaging and fun for children, combining interactive gameplay with high-quality animation.
The app features six new games specifically created to help children develop and reinforce various number sense skills. These games follow a storyline set on Hexagon Island, offering a narrative-driven experience that captures children's interest through exciting animation and adventures. Players are invited to explore the island, engaging in different activities that promote understanding of numbers.
Children can choose from three different adventures - Gold, Diamond, and Crystal - each introducing different Numberblocks characters and challenges. Along the way, they join a mischievous pirate named Captain Hexbeard and their favorite Numberblocks characters, creating a fun and memorable learning environment. The app also provides opportunities for children to learn about the Numberblocks' Clubs and test their knowledge through interactive quizzes and activities.
Designed with input from educational and play experts, Numberblocks Treasure Hunt ensures a safe and child-friendly experience. It is fully compliant with privacy regulations such as COPPA and GDPR-K, meaning there are no advertisements, no sharing of personal data, and it is completely free of third-party ads. Children can then apply what they have learned in real-world scenarios through additional activities, and upon completing all challenges, they can earn virtual treasures and certificates, rewarding their progress and encouraging continued learning.
