The toy worked for about 20 minutes and then the LCD screen stopped working. It was fun while it lasted.
 Throw your flash cards away! November 26, 2007

As a teacher and a home schooling mom, I go out of my way to find new and unique ways to teach my students and my daughters. Recently one of my students got talking about math and multiplication. At age 8 he amazed me with his knowledge of multiplication facts and such. Upon talking to his father I learned that my student had been playing with a game called Digitz.
I asked to see the game, and was amazed. The inventor of this game has come up with a unique way to study and review multiplication facts through a variety of games. Even my 6 year old was able to set the game for the 0, 1, and 5 times tables and was soon learning how to solve the problems. She had never done multiplication before in her life.
In my years I have taught multiplication through class games such as Jeopardy and bingo. I have also used flash cards and such, but nothing compares to Digitz. On top of this, it is portable so that the child can take it in the car, and there is a volume control dial in case you are somewhere that it can not be turned up. I highly recommend this game.
A fun and Challenging Game! August 20, 2007

Digitz is an awesome game. It's not only unique, it's stimulating; lots of fun; competitive; and it's unbelievable how well children are able to learn or refresh their knowledge of multiplication. I watched a 12-year-old girl play Digitz with her 8-year-old brother. They only played the game utilizing the two tables and eight tables to start. The 8-year-old had never been exposed to the eight tables before. After less than half an hour, the 8-year-old was beating his 12-year-old sister in both the two and eight tables. He was also able to recite his entire eight tables after playing for only that half hour.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Digitz turn up in elementary schools as a learning aid. I know multiplication can be difficult for kids and this game has to be the most fun and effective learning tool I've ever seen. Plus there are five different games to choose from, all of which can be played by one player or any number of players. And they're all timed so you can compete with one another or try and beat your own time. Every kid should have the opportunity to play Digitz!
