The Gigglebone Gang: Infinity City

Count Yourself In!

Welcome to Infinity City, the mix-and-match capital of the world. Hop in Zack's taxicab and let the Gigglebone Gang take you on a personal tour of 10 “math concept” neighborhoods featuring  50 early math activities, puzzles and games. Kids see all the angles: they match big and small to build custom cars with Bunji the frog, use their gray matter to help Monkie-Sue sum up her "Furry Tales," and sing along to tunes about shapes, numbers and time. They'll be so busy playing, they won't notice they're learning how the world adds up.

Tour the City

Every area of Infinity City is built around one math concept, with five different approaches for learning it. A few stops on the tour:

• Counter Stadium. Games and songs that get kids counting and keeping score.

• Jumble Jungle. Get constructive with shapes where anything can go with anything.

• Sizemobile Shop. A custom automotive garage and vehicle workshop that teaches children about size comparisons, measurement scales, and dimensions

• Junk Junction. Sequencing, ordering and patterns, one piece at a time.

• 123 Fourth Street. A multi-story apartment building where kids find their way left and right, up and down, and floor by floor: first, second, third.

More Ways to Play

• Sing along with Zack as he describes shapes, counting, time and more.

• Build with shapes. Turn squares, triangles and circles into cars, boats and other creations.

• Keep Monkie-Sue afloat by putting together the right parts for her boat.

• Play at your level. Choose a difficulty that fits, or race the clock for an extra challenge.

Learning by Doing

Drills are not the focus here. Kids learn through taking actions, singing songs, making choices, and open-ended puzzle solving and play, so they can experiment, try again and discover the answer for themselves.

• Counting, numbers and keeping score

• Shapes, sizes and matching

• Sequencing, ordering and patterns

• Left and right, up and down, and ordinal numbers (first, second, third)

• Time and money

• Cause and effect, problem-solving and decision-making

A Headbone Classic Returns

Infinity City was first released by Headbone Interactive in 1996]. Now the Gigglebone Gang is back on modern Mac and PC platforms for a new generation of kids, and for the grown-ups who remember them.
