Halloween Fun With Count Racula

2009 October 25
by digitalchristopherrobin

There are lots of matching games available for kids on the iPhone, and it’s not at all clear why kids would really need more than one. That said, if your kids don’t already have a favorite matching game, Count Racula is worth grabbing — especially this time of year. The app features a standard card-flipping game board, filled with a small army of vampires that need to be matched with their pair. Count Racula

The user interface is just what you’d hope for and expect – simply touch the cards to flip them over and try to match pairs. There are two modes available within the app — matching numbers to numbers, or matching numbers to objects. Throughout the experience, the aesthetic of the app is true to the spooky theme — both melodies and illustrations deliver on the promise of some ghoulish Halloween fun.

Also worth noting – the app not only helps kids learn to count, but it helps teach them to do so in both Spanish and English by saying the relevant number when you match a pair.

Sound like the perfect Halloween treat for your little monster? You can pick it up from the iTunes store here.
