Encourage your child to describe their strategies for solving puzzles and how they choose and level up their 'fiends'. You can play alongside them and discuss the different ways to approach a level, fostering critical thinking about game mechanics.

What your child develops

Players must adapt their strategies to overcome increasingly complex challenges and learn how different 'fiends' abilities interact. It also encourages memory and attention as players recall fiend strengths and anticipate future moves.
