Scribblenauts Remix (2011) on iOS and Android, There have been a number of Scribblenauts games: It's an unusual game that's a lot of fun, but also creates a context for logical thinking, vocabulary, inventiveness and the combination of items with different properties as you might do in a science lesson. There is a level editor, where you can create and share your own challenges. There's also an open-world mode where you can experiment with the different objects.

For example, you can type 'ladder' to get over it, or type 'bomb' to blow it up, or 'spade' to tunnel underneath it.Īs well as a story mode, there are puzzle levels that put you in real-life situations (such as having to open a piñata) and task you with solving it. When you hit an obstacle, such as a wall, you type the names of items that will help you get past it. You control Maxwell as he traverses levels left-to-right. This means you can solve problems in a number of different ways, using imaginative and ingenious solutions. What's surprising is the sheer number of items included in the game. Scribblenauts is a series of puzzle games where you solve by typing the names of everyday objects so they appear in the game and let you progress.
