Our app lets kids explore how amazing inventions work. It's perfect for introducing early STEM concepts to kids aged 3-7. Kids will have a blast learning how escalators, roller coasters and concrete mixers work through fun animations and adorable characters.
Did you recently have to google an answer to a question by a 4 year old? if so this app will be your best friend! My 4 year old son asked me how a snowblower worked in our garage and I realized to my great embarrassment that I had not the slightest idea how to answer this question!
Zizzle inventions was born as the big answer to this small question. We know from first hand experience that kids are fascinated with inventions like elevators, escalators, toilets, toasters and more. They are so curious about them because they are familiar to them and yet they work in ways that appear almost magical.
When kids ask "How does is work" they are asking a STEM question. But in a time they are absolutely ready to be introduced to these awesome simple yet ingenious solutions, SO many parents (myself included) simply don't have a good answer prepared! SO, with Zizzle inventions we wanted to introduce complex STEM concepts in a simple and fun way early on. We made it interactive so that after watching a short animation explaining the invention kids get to break it apart and build it back together. It works because kids really love exploring the inventions and are able to grasp some of the concepts along the way.
We really are proud of what we have created so far BUT we just launched on the App store + Google Play a month ago and being small and independent we need all the feedback and help we can get! If you would be willing to take a few minutes out of your day to check us out and give us some honest constructive feedback you would really make our day!

Very good start. Awesome idea to mix in the puzzle play with the key pieces of evey invention. Answers some of things my kids ask me. Looking forward to more inventions.
@boris_podlubniy Thank you!!! In the very beginning we did a play test with cardboard cutouts of the different inventions and kids LOVED breaking it and putting it back together ! We are working on adding more options for true tinkering as we continue to build the game!

This product is for kids. But even adults found it very interesting and educational. Lots of fun to play with puzzles. Can't wait for new adventures with Sizzle Inventions!!!!
@margarita_levandovsky Thank you so much for your feedback! So happy to know that it was an educational experience for everyone! One of the biggest takeaways for me personally as we create the levels is how much adults take for granted the amazing inventions all around us and how much technology and science they actually pack.
It's so cool to see how kids get incredibly excited when they get to learn more about them, it's something that many abstract learning tools as beautiful and as fun as can be cannot replicate - the emotional connections that kids have with machines they use from birth in their daily life!

Simple to use, yet packs lots of info for the little ones to understand
@andreea_natapov Thank you!! We spent a lot of time trying to distill the concepts so that we are always leaving kids with one or two key takeaways. The idea is not to overwhelm them and in this initial version to simply foster a sense of curiosity about the world.
For example in the concrete mixer it's the spiral blade that turns one way to mix concrete and simply turns in reverse to push it up and pour it out of the truck! such a simple and ingenious concept that any kid canunderstand and yet most adults dont even know that it workls this way (I had no idea that it worked like this!).
Down the line we will have more advanced options to allow older kids to learn more about the systems that will peak they curiosity, learn more about the inventors and their process, see how this inventions are interconnected in unexpected ways!
