Pick ‘n Seek app review: a sweet game for children under three

Introduction

There are a number of engaging, entertaining, and educational games available for young children that can be played on the iPhone or iPad. Pick ‘n Seek is one such game.

In this game, your child will be in the driver's seat, and play hide & seek with his or her very own personalized character, all the while developing memory, identification skills, imagination, as well as vocabulary.

Available in the Games section of the App Store, this app can be downloaded for free. Let's take a look at how it works.

Learning Made Fun

Pick ‘n Seek is a very, very hefty app, taking up 316 MB of space on your iPhone or iPad. The interface is very simple and easy to use for young children, who tend to inadvertently tap on ads and such. The clutter-free interface makes for a very pleasant experience.

The game environment evokes harmony and equanimity unlike many other children's games that I've reviewed where players are subject to loud, stressful music, and time caps within which to complete certain missions and objectives.

Due to the relaxing nature of this game, children are able to focus clearly on the objective of finding their character in the hiding spot. It encourages the child to make detailed observations and really think about the various objects of various shapes, sizes, speeds, and movements.

All new terms learned through the game are introduced gently, one by one, and repeated over an over so that they are engrained in your child's mind early on.

Parents' Section & In-App Purchases

Through this iPhone game, children meet up with adorable animals who will help find the personalized character. The animations and sounds are really delightful, and I found myself smiling at the screen like an idiot while playing this game.

There is also a special parents' section built into this app which allows you to take new photos and select animal friends as well as game card categories to facilitate your child's learning and enhance your enjoyment.

The basic app contains two animal friends and six game card images, but you can use the in-app purchases to add bunny and panda friends as well as 50 more game card images within the At Home, Vehicles, Outdoors, and Toys categories.
