Too many maths games, even some so-called “educational” ones, are little more than mindless target practice.
The Land of Um provides a much more positive challenge with a range of difficulty to suit every age group.
What’s an Um?
Um is a woolly-headed little creature whose task is to find a way out of each of many worlds. The Um must find out what each object in the world actually does—and some do quite unexpected things!
Players need (and will develop) reasoning and clear thinking skills, rather than the exhaustive trial-and-error needed in many games.
Look out for the baby Ums!
One of the challenges is to protect the baby Ums that inhabit some worlds. These babies have the unfortunate habit of wandering off and getting into trouble unless the Um keeps a careful eye on them.
