Product Description

Introducing Think Fun Robot Turtles, a game that successfully infuses fun with education. This STEM toy and coding board game for preschoolers has made a significant impact, becoming the most-backed board game on Kickstarter. Trusted by families worldwide, ThinkFun is renowned for creating brain-stimulating and logic-enhancing games. This game, designed by programming expert Dan Shapiro, is no exception. Robot Turtles introduces children aged four and above to programming principles in a fun and interactive way. The game mimics the Logo programming language, allowing kids to create programs using playing cards. As the game progresses, the difficulty level increases, introducing more obstacles and complex code cards. This makes the game engaging and suitable for different age groups. The game includes high-quality cardboard and cardstock components, ensuring longevity and durability. Clear and easy-to-follow instructions mean you can start playing right away. Perfect for 2-5 players, Robot Turtles is an ideal gift for parents and children to enjoy together. It's more than just a game; it's a fun learning experience.

From the Manufacturer

Robot Turtles is a board game for kids inspired by the Logo programming language. It provides crucial brain development and computer programming skills to children as young as 4 years old in the context of family fun. Players dictate the movements of their Robot Turtle tokens on a game board by playing Code Cards: Forward, Left and Right. When a player's Robot Turtle reaches a jewel they win! If they make a mistake, they can use a Bug Card to undo a move. The game has many levels so, as the players advance, they will encounter obstacles like Ice Walls and use more complex Code Cards (like lasers to melt the walls). Play continues until all players collect a jewel, so everyone wins. Beginner to Advanced levels will make it a family favorite for many years. It includes a large Game Board, 40 Tiles, 4 Robot Turtle Tiles, 4 Jewel Tiles, 4 Code Card Decks (45 cards in each deck) and instructions. 2-5 players can play at once and everyone who gets the Robot Jewel wins.

Robot Turtles

A Fun Way to Learn Code!

The most backed board game in Kickstarter history sneakily teaches preschoolers the fundamentals of programming, from coding to functions, while making silly turtle noises! Takes seconds to learn, minutes to play and provides endless learning opportunities. Before you know it, your little one will be writing computer games rather than just playing them!

Set up the game board with the Turtle Tile in the corner and the Jewel Tile in the center.

Use Code Cards (Forward, Left, and Right) to program the Turtle.

Reach the Jewel Tile and unlock the next level of play!

    My bigger kids are loving this game - especially the 5.5 year old (but non reading) boy! His newly four year old sister is slightly less enthralled, although she does like to make her turtle "dance." One play note: he was ready after the first couple of plays to make 2 or 3 moves at a time: what perplexes him is right-to left order and placing his cards in a neat line. To help, I numbered several 4x6 index cards and have him place his cards on them. Eventually I may make them into a "mat" to keep with the game. (I know you're supposed to leave all the cards out as you play them, but even our large dining room table doesn't really have the space - especially with a grabby 1 year old in the mix. So we clean up after 2 to 4 moves.)

    This is a fun little game to teach young ones very beginning and simple logic. Their goal is essentially to create a set of instructions (think: "go straight, then turn left, then use your laser to melt some ice") that you the adult enact, acting sort of as their computer.

    It can scale well to different age and maturity levels by changing what obstacles are on the game board and changing the layout. We haven't gone through all of the available options as my son isn't that advanced yet, but i see this having legs for a couple years (4 to 6) and maybe longer.

    I am a programmer. I first bought this game years ago for my nieces / nephews who were around 5, 7, and 10. It went over quite well. This time I bought it for my just turned 3 preschooler. I modified the first stage of the game so that:

    1. We put the four lady bugs (he likes those more than the gems) all around the board.
    2. He puts the turtle in the starting spot. He lets me know where he's heading.
    3. He picks one card, and I move the turtle right away. I ask him if that's what he wanted to do. If it was, he keeps going. If it wasn't, he removes the card and we put the turtle back to how it was. This way he can see the trial/error right away and start to develop a connection between the cards and the turtle.

    Sometimes he'll put more than one card down, so I'll point at the card and the turtle and do each action really slowly.

    Anyhow - huge hit!

    I got this game for the kids this Christmas. In short my 6 year old boy loves it. My 10-year-old is probably beyond it, but we haven't played the advanced aspects yet. I tried this out with an early 3-year-old and she really didn't get it. A 4-year-old boy did grasp but wasn't terribly interested. Small samples, but there you go. When you watch the marketing for this it makes it sound like every kid will love it - not the case.

    In terms of the game's extendability (because we're all IT people here right?) it's definitely there. You start super-easy and almost boring (this is how my 10-year-old lost interest I think) and then you add the wrinkles/challenges (game calls them unlocks, which kids understand!). The best unlock I think is the challenge of writing your instructions out completely, and then running the program, seeing if you get it right first time, and then debugging and rerunning the program. That was the first time it REALLY felt like we're learning programming.

    We haven't gotten to function frog yet - all the kids think it means the frog jumps over the obstacles, but the reality is much more interesting. You use the frog to call a function that runs that bit of code. The only challenge will be developing a map that lends itself to repeated sequence of actions (i.e. fire laser, move forward several times). I would think the instruction book could include some game designs that can handle that.

    One other gripe related to the last comment - the first thing the instruction book says in the game is: "don't read this instruction book, go online." OH COME ON! If I wanted to read directions online I wouldn't have shelled out $40 for a board game when I could have bought 10 programming apps for their iPad for the same money. The least you can do is respect my decision and support it. Board games have written directions that work. Nuff said.

    But all in all, great game, should be in every elementary school classroom. I look forward to playing this with my mini-me this week.

    I initially read about this game on NPR's All Tech Considered Weekly Innovations Blog and I was extremely excited about the game concept and signed up on the creator's website for updates. When he announced that he would be selling through Amazon, I quickly jumped on the chance to get a copy. When it arrived I was a little disappointed, I expected cool bells and whistles, but instead the game appeared simplistic and I thought it would be boring. I WAS WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! My son (aged 4) LOVES this game which should be enough in itself (SERIOUSLY, how often do you see an extremely hyper, goofy boy want to sit still for hours on end to play a game) but when a programmer friend came by and watched my son play it and explained to me the importance of what that "simplistic" game was teaching I was hooked....

    This game is not only a great educational tool for all of the future evil geniuses, but it is fun and offers mothers everywhere a bit of stationary fun.....

    Our 4.5 year old took immediately to this game and LOVES it. He's always been a relatively analytical little guy so I was relatively confident it would appeal to him, but even I was surprised by the 3 hours straight he spent on it the afternoon that he got it. It's a neat concept and is great at teaching programming concepts, planning, and right vs. left to little kids :) I love that it has layers to it allowing it to grow with the child. I can foresee my 4.5 year old using it for at least another couple years (although he flew through the first challenges quite easily). I do wish that it had a book of set-ups of increasing difficulty that came with the game. You can find these online, but it'd be nice to have them in print and immediately available. The other thing to know about the game (although not necessarily a criticism) is that you need an adult or older child to play with the younger child, which makes it a little harder to play in a household with 3 kids under 5 years old! That said, we all love Robot Turtles!

    Reviewed in Canada on May 14, 2019
    The kids LOVE this game. The pictures are cute and the concept is easy for them to pick up. I like how the difficulty can be increased by "unlocking" levels. In it's basic form even a 3 or 4 yo can play and have fun. With all of the additional features unlocked, it would be challenging for 6, 7 or 8 year olds.
