Minimal educational value, engaging and supports logical thinking.

In the game, regular combinations cannot grant immortality. You must use an iOS or Android device to play the game in order to access the Little Alchemy store and buy the Myths and Monsters Content Pack. The in-game store is not available on the PC version. The game’s PC version does not support the transfer of data or progress from your mobile account. You will receive access to 15 more recipes after purchasing the Myths and Monsters Content Pack, which you can use to create a variety of items, including immortality.

I believe this resource is an incredible introductory resource tool. While it may not give too much in depth information to students, it definitely gives them an opening to ask questions about why different materials will combine to form others. I really liked the design of each new variable discovered in the game, and I thought the music and sound design kept me engaged as well. I think that some students may have difficulty solving this, and at times the game does fall into trial and error, throwing random resources together to see what happens, rather than thinking critically about what they should solve. I also think the encyclopedia section which catalogues new discoveries should have more information about each item.

This isn't my first choice as a teaching tool, my students enjoyed it very much and it kept them occupied. It was easy to get stuck but a few "hints" and "cheats" got my students back on track.
