Mr. Hat is an app for preschoolers that mixes animated videos with games. The app is played through the eyes of a group of children who have entered Mr. Hat’s magical world. Unfortunately a dastardly villain comes along and steals Mr. Hat’s magic cube. With the cube gone the children can’t return home so they need your help looking for the missing pieces. There are four different areas where preschoolers can play games and collect the pieces of Mr. Hat’s magic cube. Each game focuses on a different skill. There is one for counting objects, one for spelling words, a memory game and a labyrinth puzzle. My favorite area was the memory game. Instead of flipping over cards you tap craters on a planet and watch things pop up. Your goal is to tap on the craters with matching items.
When you finish a game you’ll find one of the pieces to Mr. Hat’s Magic Cube. The app keeps track of how many times you play each game and I’m not sure how many times it takes before the children finally journey home. Things I liked about Mr. Hat were the colorful graphics, the memory game, smooth playing videos and a unique concept. The thing I didn’t like about this app was Mr. Hat’s voice, it just didn’t work for me.
