What it is: a virtual Chuggington train set. 4 adventures based on Chuggington episodes (Braking Brewster, The Brewster Booster, JetPack Wilson, Can't Catch Koko).
What you do with it: 3 modes of play:
- 'build and play' - build the set, attach cargo cars, wagons and run the trains around the railway
- 'adventures' - watch the excerpt of the episode, listen to the instructions and complete the adventure (requires loading the train with cargo, delivering the cargo to the destination etc).
- 'my collection' - review your collection of trains and watch video clips from the Chuggington Episodes
What we liked: the concept, excellent graphics and animations based on the TV series, game-like experience, engaging activities/adventures, fun factor, sounds and sound backgrounds, ease of use (the app has spoken instructions, visual clues and a video tutorial), overall quality of the app.
What we didn't like: the adventures could offer more variety. The educational value could be better. The action may be too fast-paced for some kids.
Free preview: if you are not sure, please see our 'See before you buy' video (below) or try the free version of the Chuggington Traintastic Adventures app.
