How to play
An analog clock face appears at the bottom of a tower. Read the time it shows and drag the matching digital readout into the right slot to climb one floor. Each floor's question gets a touch harder — moving from o'clock and half-past times into quarter-hours and five-minute increments. Reach the top of the tower and a golden bell rings; miss too many and you slide down a floor (no permanent loss).

- Problem solving
Why this age range
Best in grades 1–2 because analog clock-reading is curriculum-aligned starting in grade 1 (whole hours) and grade 2 (five-minute increments). Earlier introductions confuse children whose number sense isn't yet in place; later introductions feel patronising. The game's pacing tracks the standard curriculum.
Notes for parents
Telling time on an analog clock is one of those skills that quietly stops being taught at school but is still expected of children at home. If your child finds digital times trivial but freezes on analog ones, this is the game for them. The digital-to-analog matching is intentional — it builds the bridge from a representation they already know to one they don't, rather than starting cold on the unfamiliar side.
