Step by step

Where: your learner home (Ponder Quest), then the Retro Arcade.

  1. Think Points unlock the arcade

    Snake unlocks at 150 Think Points. Here’s how many you have so far.

  2. Open the Retro Arcade

    Do it with me: tap Retro Arcade.

  3. Snake

    The Snake tile shows whether it’s unlocked yet, or how many Think Points you still need. Blocks, Breakout and Pong unlock at 250, 350 and 450 Think Points.

  4. How sessions work

    Each arcade session is time-limited so learning stays the main event. The first time, ask a grown-up to show you how they played Snake, then start your session together. Earn 50 more Think Points for the next session.

  5. Start a session

    Tap to start your arcade session. A grown-up sets how long it lasts.

  6. Steer the snake

    Use the arrow keys or W A S D, swipe on the board, or tap the arrows. Space or P pauses. Eat the fruit to grow, and don’t bump into your tail!
