What is Kid Do Ku™?

Kid Do Ku™ is a new imaginative magnetic implementation of the popular puzzle, sudoku, specifically tailored for a young audience.  Using the tactile properties and colourful graphics that children love, Kid Do Ku™ is THE way to get your young ones thinking at school, at home or on the go !!

A great puzzle, requiring no mathematical or any other special abilities, Kid Do Ku™ encourages independent play, logical thinking and problem solving using pattern recognition, sequencing, visual stimulation and magnetic fun!

Kid Do Ku™ puzzles use a simple colour coded grading system throughout the product range making it easy for children, parents and educators alike to chose the right puzzle for each child:-

• Blue framed puzzles are the easiest for the target age group,
  
• Purple framed puzzles aim to be slightly more challenging,
  
• Red framed puzzles are the real brain-teasers for the target age group.
  

Kid Do Ku™ puzzles are currently available as 4 by 4 puzzles aimed specifically at 3-8 year olds.  These puzzles contain 4 icons of a specific design, arranged in 4 rows, columns and 2 by 2 squares.  Due to the extremely positive feedback received in initial trials, HighQ Entertainment Limited is already extending the range to include 6 by 6 puzzles aimed at 6 – 14 year olds.

The basic principal of solving a sudoku puzzle of any kind is to ensure the numbers, icons or other graphical pieces, are arranged such that there is only of each type in every row, column or highlighted square.  With Kid Do Ku™, each puzzle has a number of fixed icons arranged in the magnetic frame, and a number of ‘pop out’ pieces.  Rearranging the pieces that pop out back into the frame is how the game is played.  Its ingenious design, encourages and empowers a child to tackle the puzzle independently, requiring very little if any adult supervision.  Because the pieces fit back into the frame in any order, children are never discouraged from playing again and again.
