*** About ***
Pythagorea is a collection of geometric puzzles of different kind that can be solved without complex constructions or calculations. All objects are drawn on a grid whose cells are squares. A lot of levels can be solved using just your geometric intuition or by finding natural laws, regularity, and symmetry.

*** Just play ***
There are no sophisticated instruments. You can construct straight lines and segments only and set points in line intersections. It looks very easy but it is enough to provide an infinite number of interesting problems and unexpected challenges.

*** All definitions at your fingertips ***
If you forgot a definition, you can instantly find it in the app’s glossary. To find the definition of any term that is used in conditions of a problem, just tap on the Info (“i”) button.

*** Is this game for you? ***
Euclidea users can take a different view of constructions, discover new methods and tricks, and check their geometric intuition.

If you have just started your acquaintance with geometry, the game will help you understand important ideas and properties of the Euclidean geometry.

If you passed the course of geometry some time ago, the game will be useful to renew and check your knowledge because it covers most of ideas and notions of the elementary geometry.

If you are not on good terms with geometry, Pythagorea will help you to discover another side of the subject. We get a lot of user responses that Pythagorea and Euclidea made it possible to see the beauty and naturalness of geometric constructions and even fall in love with geometry.

And do not miss your chance to familiarize children with mathematics. Pythagorea is an excellent way to make friends with geometry and benefit from spending time together.

***Why Pythagorea***
Pythagoras of Samos was a Greek philosopher and mathematician. He lived in 6th century BC. One of the most famous geometric facts bears his name: the Pythagorean Theorem. It states that in a right-angled triangle the area of the square on the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares of the other two sides. While playing Pythagorea you often meet right angles and rely on the Pythagorean Theorem to compare lengths of segments and distances between points. That is why the game is named after Pythagoras.

Ratings and reviews

Love this! I'm a bit of a math geek and love testing my spatial and geometric reasoning skills. The puzzles take a while to ramp up, and I almost uninstalled because I thought it was too easy but there are some really tough ones later on. Had a lot of fun! If I could pick one feature to add, my top pick by far would be a ZOOM feature. To many times I knew exactly how to carry out a solution but couldn't make it happen with the grid getting so clogged up with lines.

This was a fun, challenging game that sometimes made my head hurt. As others have said, some levels were pretty obvious and required little or no thought. I got many of the more difficult levels, but sometimes I was just guessing the line angle (coordinates) and couldn't really defend my solution. In other cases, even being a math guy, I couldn't come up with a workable solution. I would enjoy the game more if it gave more explanation of the principles one could use to figure out the solution (not just give the answer). This could be an incredible instructional tool, in addition to engaging game, with the addition of the explanations. I realize I can go online and find solutions, or, more helpful, explanation of how to get to the solution, but it would be so much nicer to have the instruction in the app. I'll probably keep playing this game from time to time, but as they get more intricate, I get tired of bouncing in and out of the app and trying to find explanations without getting the full solution.

I like the fact that you have to think. Some were way too hard for me to figure out. I looked up some of the answers online and still didn't understand how they reached the correct conclusion!The graphics aren't detailed enough for some of the constructed nodes to be easily selected. The extra information helps but some hints might be nice.
