American Express is going for the iOS device users. But they’re not announcing yet another calculator or ATM finder app — rather the company has teamed-up with Fishlabs to launch a free game called Cash IQ and promote its Platinum Cashback Credit Card offering.
The new title is actually a series of mini games, “designed to stretch and flex mathematical and memory based skills.” The mini-games included are:
- Beat the Bank – where coins of various denominations drop from the top of the screen into a piggybank. Your goal is to correctly state the balance remaining inside at the end of each sequence. Once a sequence has finished, a calculator-type interface appears, and you should quickly enter the amount you believe is remaining.
- Check Your Balance – where you place shopping bags on a seesaw, ensuring that when it finally rests it is evenly balanced. Each bag represents a different item, such as groceries or clothing.
- Shopping List – which is a version of the classic memory game with a conveyor belt that moves a selection of items across the screen in sequence. Once the final item has scrolled across the screen, a grid appears and you must tap to select each of the items from the grid in the order that they were scanned.
- Flip & Pin – you flip different shaped tiles around a 12×12 grid and cover the highlighted areas completely. Within each level, you will be given sufficient shaped tiles to correctly complete the puzzle with a limited number of pins available to hold tiles in place. Tiles, of course, must lay flat and as you progress the areas and shapes become larger and more complex.
