Focus on the Fish: Find the Right Number

What the game “Focus on the Fish: Find the Right Number” is about

“Focus on the Fish: Find the Right Number” is an educational online game for children, inspired by the cormorant story from “The Book About Birds, Part 1”. In this story, the main characters – the Little Book Bird and the Wise Owl – learn about the lives of cormorants, patient and attentive fishers. They do not grab everything at once. Instead, they observe carefully and wait for the right moment. This very trait became the foundation for three games: “Focus on the Fish: Find the Right Number”, “Focus on the Fish: Greater or Less”, “Focus on the Fish: Count and Stop”.

The online game “Focus on the Fish: Find the Right Number” is not built around racing against time. It is built around careful observation, a calm pace, and noticing what matches a given rule.

How the game works

During the game, tasks with a specific number appear on the screen. Fish with different numbers then appear, while the rule remains the same – only the fish with the number that matches the task should be identified and chosen. Other fish may look tempting or appear more often, but they do not fit the rule.

The game includes three “lives”, shown as small fish in the statistics panel on the right side of the playing field. Their number decreases if a fish with an incorrect number is tapped or if a fish with the correct number is missed.

Why the game “Focus on the Fish: Find the Right Number” is useful

At first glance, this online game may seem simple, but it trains an important ability – keeping a rule in mind and acting in line with it, without being distracted by unnecessary details. The game develops task-focused attention, the ability to notice details, and working memory, as the current number needs to be kept in mind throughout the game.

The game also supports the ability to slow down impulsive reactions and avoid automatic responses. It is especially helpful for those who find it difficult to concentrate or who quickly become tired of tasks built around timers and competition.
