An arcade alley is the setting for this fabulous math workout, complete with funky characters and colorful graphics. Arcade Alley is packed with 8 unique shops and a gaming arcade. In order to earn the cash, players do shift work as employees in the Alley's shops.
Players can peek into their wallet at any time to check how much money they've earned.
Colorful customers, including a bespectacled elderly lady with a poodle in her purse, saunter into the shops, making their requests. Children use each shop's unique workstation designed for solving the specific types of math problems at hand. In Chez Bernie, players determine the best way to serve the shop's customers exactly what they need. The shop setting provides an excellent context for practicing math problems, and most children will be motivated to work through the program, helped by the appealing arcade-game study breaks. Though children can pick and choose where they earn their money, the designers of the program have cleverly added an incentive for completing a shift in each of the 8 shops.
