Puzzlize the patterns of the world to promote curiosity and a desire to learn new things.
At Green Forest XR, we believe that learning should be as immersive and exciting as the worlds we build. Our mission is to create fun, engaging puzzle games that spark curiosity and teach players a little something about what they’re building—while having a ton of fun.
Our games are designed to inspire spatial learning, encouraging players to think creatively and connect with concepts in a hands-on, meaningful way. We understand that not everyone learns the same way, which is why we approach game design with care and consideration for neurodivergent minds. Our puzzles are crafted to be inclusive, adaptable, and engaging for all types of learners.
