Add game to your favorites

This is an educational weighing game centered on cartoon creatures called poddles. Someone had stolen the numbers the poddles have on their bodies, which correspond to their weights. The only way to get them back is to measure them. The game introduces children to using weighed measures and breaking down numbers into component pieces.

• Weigh each of the poddles on the scale.
• Slowly add weight units until you’ve reached the point of equality.

• Game Controls
  • Desktop
    • With your mouse, left click and drag the weights to their position.
  • Touchscreen devices
    • Tap the screen with your fingers and use it as a mouse.
• Game Play
  • Basic
    • Measure the Poddles on the scale to identify their number.
      • The number corresponds to their weight, which is not indicated by their size.
      • To find the number, the scale must be perfectly balanced.
    • Pick between weights in increments of 1, 2, 3 and 4.
    • Find the weights of 10 Poddles to win the game.
      • While there are a total of 10 rounds the weight ranges are not between 1 and 10.
      • A Poddle can weigh 11.
      • You can use any combination of numbers to add up to the end weight provided you use 6 or fewer weights. For example 11 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 2, 11 = 4 + 4 + 3, 11 = 4 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1, etc.
    • If you need help, select the help button on the lower right corner or the hint button on the lower left.
  • Tips
    • A Poddle’s weight determines its number. The Poddle will be much lower in the scale if they have a higher weight / number.
    • It typically makes sense to start off with a 4 and then remove it if that is too heavy.
      • You can remove weights from the balance by clicking on them.
      • When you use a particular weight you can get another one of that weight by waiting a second for it to reload.
      • You can use up to 6 maximum of weights on the balance at once.
      • The weight scale appears near balanced when sometimes the weight is still off by 2 or 3.
      • If you go over remove the most recently added weight and then add weights in increments of one.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for younger children learning math basics and the concept of balance.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
