Modality, Inc. is no stranger when it comes to creating mobile learning content for the iPhone and iPod touch platforms, and this time round they have released their latest piece of work – Brain Quest Blast Off. Available for iPhone and iPod touch users via the Apple App Store, this application was developed in conjunction with the Workman Publishing Company, basing its premise on America’s top selling educational title – Brain Quest. S. Mark Williams, Ph.D., Modality’s CEO and founder mentions, “The Brain Quest activities that parents and teachers know and trust really come alive for the kids on the iPod touch and iPhone. Animation sequences and Multi-Touch user interactivity keep youngsters excited and engaged. They tap, flick and fly through thousands of grade-specific questions as they strive to earn Genius status at the end of the game.” Guess parents might have to lend their iPhones to kids more often now than preferred, because seriously – purchasing an iPhone or iPod touch for one that young? It just doesn’t make financial sense.

In Brain Quest Blast Off, players journey through three challenge levels, each consisting of five knowledge areas: math, language arts, science, social studies and grab bag. A series of questions ranging from word jumbles to math equations test students on the same facts and concepts they’re learning in school, reinforcing their lessons in a fun new way. In addition to earning points, students collect dozens of different trophies for their achievements, all displayed in a special trophy showcase. A Free Play setting allows for untimed review. Players can move through hundreds of questions covering all topic areas, randomly generated to keep kids sharp even when they’re not in the game play mode.

Interested parties will be able to pick up Brain Quest Blast Off Grades 3 & 4 for $9.99 per grade from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch.
