Live Puzzle! animated apps for kids by Kidoteca
✔ iPad + iPhone ✔ Android ✔ Kindle Fire | app for kids
Kidoteca has already surprised us with unique and special kids apps in the past.
After the app Matryoshka! and the awesome “Weather and Clock” app, the app developers now prove to us, that they are also good at producing puzzle apps. At the moment, 4 games of the “Live Puzzle” series have been released and we want to tell you why the word live is part of the title.
To get an idea of the app, you can check out our YouTube trailer below.
Instead of static pictures, kids puzzle animated cartoons, which are framed by a suitable landscape. Of course there are lots and lots of animals to be seen. Depending on which app you’re going to purchase, kids will end up meeting the African animals, exciting underwater animals, cute farm animals or funny jungle animals.
Kids will,puzzle with rectangular puzzle pieces, which number of pieces varies depending on the difficulty level. Toddlers can use 4 pieces and this will go up to 12 or even 16 pieces. At the highest difficulty level, the puzzle is separated into 20 pieces, which can be pretty challenging.
All the puzzle pieces are animated and show a small sample of the finished animation clip, even before the puzzles have been completed. This also makes the app stand out from other puzzle apps and makes the app a lot more fun to play with.
A permanently free puzzle app
The app developers are permanently giving away one of the puzzle apps for free on the App Stores, what we find absolutely awesome. Even if the Live Puzzle Forest animals app is free, there are absolutely no restrictions, no advertisements and no in-app purchases. So, use the opportunity to get to know this beautiful puzzle app.

Live Puzzle! Our bottom line
Kidoteca has proven, that puzzle apps don’t have to be boring and can even be educational. The puzzle area could be a little bigger though, as kids don’t puzzle the whole picture, but only the part with the animation.
Our favorite app out of them all, has to be the Underwater world with the cute whale puzzle “Live Puzzle Sea Animals”.
