Scramble Squares - New Award-Winning Educational App!


Scramble Squares®, the global leader in challenging educational puzzles with powerful graphics and multigenerational appeal, is pleased to announce that it has moved into the mobile space with the launch of its digital gaming application, Scramble Squares®, for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.  A full version of Scramble Squares® is a FREE iTunes download that contains one FREE puzzle, a practice puzzle and an additional interactive puzzle challenge. Additional puzzles are available for purchase in-app at $4.99.

Scramble Squares® are visual puzzles comprised of nine square pieces, each containing images that must be properly arranged to form one complete image solution.  Scramble Squares® puzzles look easy to solve but in reality, only one in every 5,000 people can unscramble a Scramble Squares® puzzle in under 5 minutes.

The Scramble Squares® app and puzzle library, built to take advantage of the features of Apple’s iOS 4 operating system, is designed for universal appeal to males and females of any age, featuring over 140 original creations in a variety of themes including nature, sports, history, culture, geography, science, technology, gourmet, occupations, fantasy, hobbies and activities.   


The iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch Scramble Squares® application includes one free
5-MINUTE CHALLENGE® puzzle and one free game puzzle players solve at their leisure. Players who solve the 5-MINUTE CHALLENGE® puzzle in under five minutes receive an additional free brainteaser puzzle, a $4.99 value.

The iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch application allows in-app purchases of additional puzzles from a library of over 140 puzzles; connectivity to the Apple Game Center so players can see where they rank with other players; communication through Facebook and Twitter for social gamers; and location-based iOS geolocation features to find nearby retailers that sell physical Scramble Squares® puzzles.  All Scramble Squares® puzzles are stored in an in-app bookcase, similar to Apple’s iBook organization. 

Kathie and Marshall Gavin introduced four Scramble Squares® puzzles to the market in 1993, instantaneously receiving a tremendous response from the market and trade media. >After gaining global popularity, winning hundred of awards and appealing to children and adults of all ages as a cross-generational family activity, Scramble Squares® is expanding its reach with mobile technology in partnership with 247 Ventures, Inc., an interactive application development company.

“We are passionate about creating entertaining, educational, beautiful and challenging puzzles for adults and children,” said Marshall Gavin, co-founder of b. dazzle and Scramble Squares®.  “We understand that the digital age is here and are pleased with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch application 247 Ventures, Inc. created to bring Scramble Squares® puzzles to the 21st century.”

Dr. Stevanne Auerbach, known as Dr. Toy (www.drtoy.com), has consistently recognized the social and educational value of Scramble Squares® puzzles.  Dr. Toy responded after experiencing the new digital format, “Playing with Scramble Squares® is always fun, plus these puzzles challenge minds of all ages.
