Being that I have children myself, educational games are always on my radar. Whether it be memory games or trivia games, I always make it a point to at least check them out to see if I would use them on my own kids.

This title here is called World Academy. It’s still a bit advanced for my own child but it looks like a good educational title nonetheless. In World Academy, you are presented with images and audio clips. You have 30 seconds to find the correct geographic location that the image or sound is associated with. I know for a fact that many schools these days don’t even go into geography all that much like they used to when I was at school so it’s always good to supplement what children learn in school with information gained outside of school. World Academy looks like it would be a great title to introduce new things to those who don’t know much about the world yet.

World Academy is available for free right now in the App Store for easy mode. Click the read more link below for more details.
