    How to Play

    Top Tip

    Wrong unlock answer? You see the correct answer and a short fact, then Next question. Also look for three-in-a-row threats before you drop.

    In the real world

    Engineers, designers, and sports coaches all ask “what’s their next move?” Connect Four is a friendly first model of that habit — and the unlock questions keep school facts sticky.

    Why This Matters at School

    Full games teach foresight and “what happens next?” — the same habit as checking a maths answer before submitting.

    Who Should Play This?

    Ages 7–15+.

    Tips for Parents and Teachers

    • •Play a physical Connect Four set after a digital game so the screen maps to real discs.
    • •Ask them why they blocked (or should have blocked) the computer’s last threat.

    Common Difficulties

    Column full — pick another. Board feels stuck — wait for the computer, or tap End game then Play again.
