Get Mystery Math Museum For Free - Friday, Nov 15

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mystery-math-museum/id640754583

If you haven't downloaded our new app, now would be a good time to do it.

Mystery Math Museum will be free for one day only - Friday, November 15.

Or you can go to a real museum but I seriously doubt they will let you keep any of the exhibit paintings for your gallery.

Tell your friends...

Life of Man Website is a Communication Arts Pick of the Day

http://www.commarts.com/web-sites/esquire-life-man.html
Really proud that the Life of Man website we made for Esquire was the featured Communication Arts WEBpick of the Day on November 5th.

Communication Arts is one of the few design magazines I still make time for - so it's really nice to get the nod.

World's Worst Pet - A New (Free) Educational App...

We're pleased to announce an extra special Halloween treat today - a new educational app we developed for our friends, Curriculum Associates, is now available for iPad as a free download.

The game is World's Worst Pet and it's your job to help Snargg, our featured furry chief of mischief, out of some pretty precarious predicaments (again and again) by solving a variety of vocabulary challenges.

Fun and educational - that's our specialty!

What client makes a pillow to celebrate launch? Curriculum Associates, that's who.

Mystery Math Museum: App Launch In Pictures

App Store Featured Best New Apps All Categories - Front Page
Our new app, Mystery Math Museum, appeared in the App Store right around the stroke of midnight last Thursday. We timed the launch to coordinate with the weekly App Store refresh and our Halloween marketing push.

The App Store update is always a nail-biter on launch day. It's one thing to go through the Apple approval process and get the "Ready For Sale" green light but it's another thing entirely to get picked by Apple for an App Store feature. I switched my desktop iTunes to the UK store a couple hours ahead of the usual 4pm est refresh to look for any clues that might hint at what to expect when the US store is updated. And last Thursday, I was encouraged to see Mystery Math Museum featured in the UK, so I let myself dream a little...
#99 out of 500,000 iPad apps
When we finally got a look at the freshly stocked US App Store shelves around 4:20pm we were thrilled to see Mystery Math Museum selected as a featured "Best New App" on the App Store front page.

Today Mystery Math Museum is ranked #99 in all iPad apps.

That's 99 out of half a million.

Launch charts #11 Education, #99 Top Overall, #15 Kids, #4 Kids 6-8
 Yeah!
