hidden shapes 2.0.0

hidden shapes puzzle game is inspired by the Embedded Figures Test, which was designed by Herman A. Witkin, a pioneer in the theory of cognitive styles.

The game also incorporates the Minnesota Paper Form Board Test (Likert) type questions.

hidden shapes is a spatial ability puzzle game challenging players to find a hidden shape within one of the six hexagons at the center, without any time limits, move restrictions, or scoring system.

This game offers 75 meticulously crafted levels, set against a minimalist design and accompanied by relaxing music and sounds to enhance the focus and mental acuity of players. Exclusively available for iOS users, hidden shapes aims to refine spatial abilities.

Features:

• Minimalist design
• 75 hand-crafted levels
• Relaxing music & sounds
• Sharpens mental acuity
• Exclusive to iOS

WHAT IS SPATIAL ABILITY?

• Spatial ability refers to the capacity to mentally manipulate three-dimensional images of objects (Fleisig et al., 2004).

WHY IS SPATIAL ABILITY IMPORTANT?

• Evidence suggests that robust spatial skills are essential for success in STEM professions, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (Gutierrez, Dominguez, & Gonzalez, 2015).

CAN SPATIAL ABILITY BE FURTHER DEVELOPED?

• Spatial performance can be improved through practice and training; however, the level of one's skills can fluctuate relative to peers based on experiences and intellectual development (Johns Hopkins University, 2018).

If cultivating your spatial ability is a priority, hidden shapes offers an engaging option.
