GAME GUIDE

Messages

A pretend shop, a real number puzzle.

A fictional message gives a price and quantity. Calculate the total and send a numeric reply. All prompts are preset game content: this activity does not connect children to other people or offer real messaging.

How to play

  1. Find the price of one item.
  2. Multiply by the quantity requested.
  3. Type the total and send the pretend reply.

Make one useful connection

After a turn, ask “How did you work that out?” Try an array, a known fact or real objects if an answer is uncertain. Moving, holding and remembering are extra skills; choose another interaction if those get in the way of the numbers.
