Equalicious
Equalicious is a unique Windows 10 game that combines basic math skills with puzzle-solving skills. This Xbox gaming title delivers a jumbled equation that you must re-organize so it makes sense. There are move restrictions in place and the mathematics must balance.
Available for Windows 10 Mobile, Equalicious maps out hundreds of levels with the first few being tutorial in nature to give you a better feel for the puzzler. Each level presents you with a series of tiles that are either numbered or contain a mathematical symbol (+, -, =, etc.). Your job is to shift the tiles so the equation is correct within a specific number of moves.
For example, you may see 3+4=1 that can be correctly re-arranged to 3+1=4 in two moves. Just keep in mind that some equations have multiple digits that need to be combined to make a whole number (1+213=12 would be 12+11=23).
As you progress through Equalicious's levels, the equations become more challenging with multiple actions in play, along with intersecting vertical and horizontal equations. As things become more difficult, Equalicious does have a handful of hints available to get you pointed in the right direction.
Equalicious is an addictive, free Windows 10 Mobile game that not only can help you pass the time, but also exercise your brain along the way.
