Cons
We'd love to see Heads Up! Contain more educational categories, but it is unfair to say this is a criticism as the app is made for entertainment. We're pulling it into education because it is such good fun.
Benefits for Students
Kids can learn to communicate ideas using alternative methods, forcing them to approach situations from multiple angles. This can be useful in the real world when the obvious answer seems wrong and players are forced to view a problem from another point of view. Heads Up! brings the best of the classic game of charades into the electronic age, and it's a fun way for kids to practice thinking and communication skills.
Benefits for Teachers
Heads Up! is a great social app. It can help new groups of kids get to know each other better without having a difficult setup process. Teachers can set up the app with different categories to link the games to topics and subjects they have recently taught.
Benefits for Parents
Heads Up! Provides a great focus for family game nights. As you can create games based on your own categories, you can make them accessible to kids of almost any age for entertainment or education.

With its high-quality graphics, content, gameplay, expansive curriculum and highly motivating reward system, Adventure Academy combines education with the feel of modern mainstream video games to create an educational platform that your kids will ask to use. As I've said above, it is not an app to underpin kids' learning or help them address specific difficulties, but as a supplemental learning experience it is a five-star app.
