How to Play

  1. Drag a colorful piece onto the dark shadow.
  2. Tap a piece to turn it a little. It clicks into place when it is close and turned the right way.
  3. The first three pictures show outlines to help. The light bulb shows them again for a few seconds.
  4. Fill the whole shadow to finish the picture and move on to the next one.

About this Game

Tangram has seven classic pieces: two large triangles, one medium triangle, two small triangles, a square and a parallelogram. Six pictures wait to be built: a house, a boat, a fish, a cat, a rabbit and a bird. There is no timer, and a piece dropped in the wrong spot simply stays where it is.

Common Questions

Is there a time limit?

No. The child can take as long as they like, and nothing is lost when a piece is in the wrong place.

Why does a piece not click into place?

It has to be close enough and turned the right way. If the spot is right but the piece needs turning, a small arrow appears. Tapping the piece turns it.

Can my child play without the outlines?

From the fourth picture on there are no outlines. The light bulb button shows them for a few seconds.
