We are so excited here at Mrs. Judd’s Games to announce the release of our 11th educational app, Space Cakes – Kids Bakery Game with Math and Numbers, and an exciting new partnership with the world famous, and Chicago-based, Eli’s Cheesecake CompanySpace Cakes takes kids across the galaxy to a far-away stellar space bakery, as it seeks to ignite their passion for 3D geometry, number play, and fun with math. The exciting partnership with Eli’s marks a breakthrough in our model for game development. The upfront partnership enables us to offer this game100% free to families and classrooms. So we could focus on content instead of freemium or paid strategies that ususally detract from the childs overall enjoyment and learning.

The Space Cakes bakery is filled with alien ingredients, fantastic frosting, and an array of space toppers from across the galaxy. After children create unique treats using an awareness of counting, numbers, and geometry they prepare for take-off and steer their cake delivery spaceship back to Earth and celebrate safe arrival with starburst, fireworks, and colorful confetti. Space Cakes also incorporates Mrs. Judd’s Games groundbreaking Juddly™ sharing network, enabling kids to safely deliver in-game creations right to the inboxes of their parents and teachers back on earth. In the note to parents is a message from Eli's about their commitment to education and even a link for mom or dad to order their own "Space Cake" for the family.

The whole team at Mrs. Judd's Games is very excited for this new model, we have a number of companies we are exploring similar relationships with and hope we can continue to use this process to ensure our games are 100% free for children.

To celebrate, all of the Mrs. Judd’s Games apps are free on the iTunes App Store ideal for children ages 3 through 8 and complement U.S. Common Core State Standards.
