Magic Keys
Arno Steinwender, Markus Slawitscheck · Happy Baobab / Game Factory · 2024
Children test real metal keys in a treasure chest lock — if the key fits, they earn gems. Each round involves push-your-luck choices about which keys to try. The physical key-and-lock manipulation develops fine motor skills while the gambling element teaches risk assessment.
