More or less?
Choose by amount despite changing sizes and layouts.

Number and probability games
Count, learn the rule, compare the actual chance.
What you will do
A larger-looking group is not always a larger count. More gold tokens do not always offer a better chance. These games ask you to separate quantities from appearance and apply the rule that controls the decision.
Bee tasks focus on counts, examples and a remembered +1 or −1 rule. Kea tasks focus on proportions, accessible tokens and drawing behaviour. Start with one task to understand its rule, then try the full animal challenge to switch between three related decisions.
Games you can play
What is the rule?
Learn from examples and apply the rule to zero.
Try this taskBee arithmetic
Remember the amount. Apply +1 or −1.
Try this taskThe better chance
More good tokens does not always mean better odds.
Try this taskThe barrier matters
Only reachable tokens can be drawn.
Try this taskWho draws the token?
Watch the selection rule, not just the jar.
Try this taskWhat to watch for
- Count elements rather than comparing filled area.
- For probability, define the eligible set before comparing gold shares.
Before you play
Where should I start?
Open one task and read its goal and example before starting. Training lets you choose the task profile and tempo.
How many rounds are there?
Each task has five rounds. Training allows one wrong round; one-life challenges require all five to be correct.

The idea behind the games
These are original game tasks, partly inspired by animal cognition research. The research notes link to the original papers and explain how our game ideas relate to them. Read the research notes.
