Pre-teens (9–12)
Logic puzzles, pattern reasoning, and the first taste of trivia depth.

Why these games
Matrix Reasoning is rule-induction at the level the pre-teen brain finds most absorbing. Math fluency starts paying compounding interest at this age. Facts builds the long-tail trivia depth that makes school content feel connected rather than isolated.
