A game-playing switch has flipped in my almost-5 daughter; she wants to get hands-on instead of just watching me. This helped me decide to pull the trigger on a @playdate . Obviously I want to fool around with it too, but it has kid-potential. 1/3

It's hard to find something in her wheelhouse so far though. The lists I've seen of "Playdate games for kids" include things that involve quick reflexes, lots of reading, puzzle-solving, etc.

https://play.date/games/root-bear/ gets some play but the time-pressure/accuracy part gives her the willies. 2/3

Root Bear for Playdate

Achieve the Perfect Pour.

https://play.date/games/pocos-maze/ is the winner so far and it's been fun to see her work through the basics of navigating an avatar to a goal. She's definitely picked up some game-isms through osmosis; first time she saw a room with tiny icons of a key and a lock, she was instantly on-mission.

Other suggestions welcome! 3/3
