From simple to tricky
Level 1 uses two colours (red, blue, red, blue…). Later levels add longer repeats, three-part patterns and cars where both the colour and the shape matter, plus a missing car in the middle instead of at the end.

Pattern games for kids
Pattern Train shows a train with a repeating pattern of cars and one empty spot. Your child taps or drags the car that belongs there. Spotting and continuing patterns is one of the foundations of early maths.

Does it really work with no wifi?
Yes. Open it once on wifi and everything is stored on the device: about 100 KB, smaller than a single photo. After that every game works in airplane mode, in the car or anywhere without a signal. The grown-ups screen shows "Ready for offline ✓" when it is.
Are there ads or in-app purchases?
No ads, ever, and nothing a child can buy. Unlocking is done by a grown-up in the locked grown-ups area, once, with no subscription.
Can my child leave the game by accident?
Leaving a game needs a long press on the home button, and the grown-ups area needs a 2-second hold plus tapping 1, 2, 3. Most phones and tablets can also pin an app to the screen in their settings (often called screen pinning or guided access).
