The chosen game space is a playground with its element (swings, slides, benches, carousels, spring rockers, and more). A child is a first-person player, and it can walk through the park, visiting its elements and, of course, accomplishing the tasks. The game has three levels, each having tasks slightly different from the previous one, but enough to enforce children to include different methods for object recognition and to make them notice different aspects of the surrounding area.
For example, on the first level, there is a certain number of balls scattered all over the park, and the task for children is to pick all the balls they find by walking through the park. This should test their ability to recognize the spherical shape. At the second level, balls of various colors and motives are given, and the child has to pick only yellow balls. This level tests the ability of children to recognize color. The last level tests how the children are able to differentiate between colors and positions at the same time – balls of different colors are placed at various positions (lying at sand, grass, swing, and other playground elements), and in order to finish the level and successfully reach the end of a game, a child has to pick up all pink balls that are not placed at the ground, but higher (playground elements).
