A Playful Memory Puzzle Built for Flexible Play
Welcome to the Chiggies’ World !
Children watch the scene, remember where the chiggies were, then drag them back into place. Adults can adjust the challenge with customizable sounds, visuals, timers, and difficulty levels.
How to Play
See it
Before the timer starts, you are prompted to "Remember each chiggy's spot." This stage encourages focused attention and visual scanning to take in the scene and the specific location of each chiggy friend.
Remember it
The chiggies move to the front of the screen, clearing the room. Players must use working memory to remember where each chiggy goes in order to help fix up the scene.
Create it
Players recreate the original scene by dragging chiggies back to where they belong in the scene. If nothing is mixed up, the chiggies celebrate with the player.
