Osmo is dazzling, mind-bending fun. Placing your iPad in the Osmo base allows you to play games that integrate your physical space into the digital realm of your iPad. Objects placed in front of your iPad are 'understood' by the three free Osmo game apps - Newton, Tangram, and Words, and become part of the game. In Newton, you'll direct tiny balls that drop from the top of the screen towards targets by drawing lines on a sheet of paper. You'll use Tangram pieces on your tabletop to solve onscreen challenges. Each time you put a piece correctly in place, its onscreen version fills in (except at the hardest levels, where you won't know how well you're doing until the puzzle is finished). Play Word, solo or against others, by looking at onscreen clues and guessing letters one at a time using Osmo letter tiles. The three of these games together evoke a phenomenal interplay of creative and logical thinking in kids, while Osmo's thrilling blended reality leaves them nothing less than enthralled.
