Stenciletto: A Geometric Logic Puzzle for All Ages

Stenciletto is a progressively challenging game using simple geometric shapes to enhance visual and spatial reasoning. Suitable for all ages and skill levels, it only requires basic shape recognition and an understanding of stencils.

Solving Stenciletto puzzles demands a blend of critical thinking skills: visual-spatial perception, logical deduction, planning, and problem-solving, all simultaneously. The deceptively simple gameplay—tapping geometric stencils in the correct sequence—presents a surprisingly complex cognitive workout.

Developed over a decade with input from children, teens, adults, and individuals with learning differences or brain injuries, Stenciletto proves rewarding and engaging for diverse groups. The latest version features Education Mode, ideal for classroom use, with centralized content access and controls for internet, Game Center, and sharing. Education Mode also supports Family Sharing.

A Rich History

Originally conceived as the Stencil Design IQ Test by early 20th-century psychologist Grace Arthur, Ph.D., the game highlights the importance of non-verbal skills in intelligence. Arthur successfully used it to assess the IQ of children (from age seven) from diverse backgrounds, demonstrating cognitive abilities equal to their schooled peers.
