»'Willi and the Wonder Toad' wins at TOMMI because the game is about a frog and amphibians are simply fascinating.
There are many types of toads and it's fun to become a frog yourself in the game and learn so much about the world of frogs in the process.
It's also about the fact that some frogs are threatened with extinction.
We learn something with the app and it's funny too.
You jump really far and catch flies.
We're going to download it 100% because toads are just cool."

The game is about using a lot of strategy to keep viruses away from the human body.
There are many explanations for viral cells, so we learn a lot about viruses, bacteria and defenses.
It's really fun to fight against the viruses with two people.
The different levels make the game varied.
The combination of action and knowledge transfer is an absolute highlight.«

The children's jury says:
»›KonterBUNT.
Step in for Democracy‹ wins 1st place at TOMMI because it is interesting, exciting and up to date.
It's about discrimination and hate speech and what you can do about it.
When a person tells us something annoying, we choose a wise response that doesn't upset that person.
So we got to know really good arguments that are not provocative.
But these counter-answers also help us in private discussions.
We are surprised that we learned something about politics after the game.«

›Exost Rhino Wave‹ is a remote-controlled vehicle that drives around in all directions.

Everything is very well explained and child-friendly.
It is especially good for first and second graders.
But even older children have fun playing with it.
There are a variety of colorful objects, for example to form letters or to dress a child in different clothes.

What the children's jury says:

We put stoppers, and then we need to put down the spherical shapes.
Then it gets harder and harder.
In addition, there is always only one solution, and if you get stuck, you can get help via a QR code.
Because ›IQ Mini‹ is a great thinking game, we have to think a lot, and somehow that's really good against stress.
It's so small that we can take it in our pocket to our friends.
We would play with it again at any time.«

In the game we are a vixen who escapes from a forest fire and has to protect and feed her cubs.
During the interactive hunt, we liked the scenting best.
After a puppy was kidnapped, we start the search.
The whole time there is a sad and gloomy mood that makes you very thoughtful.
The most important thing is survival.«

The mood of the game is happy, bright, carefree and just plain good.

What the children's jury says:
"'Zombie Rollerz: Pinball Heroes' wins 1st place at TOMMI because we defeat entire hordes of zombies with a giant pinball machine.
Above all, it works well for two.
We have to aim a stone ball at the undead very precisely, otherwise they will conquer our tower.
It's a very fast-paced and, in a positive sense, strenuous and hectic game.
We find it super well designed and very varied.
Despite zombies, the whole game looks happy and not at all scary.
We know it's not real."

What the children's jury says:
»'Jars' wins at TOMMI because it's funny, exciting and also a bit scary.
We go into the basement with Viktor and open jars.
Sometimes there are creepy crawlies in there, which we then defeat with our 'allies'.
It's really crazy when we hunt down a dangerous spider with the help of a mosquito.
The beetle with the shit roll is drawn very funny and also cool.
We often have to react very quickly.
It's precisely because it's hectic and a bit unpredictable that 'Jars' is so much fun.«

Enlarge imagePhoto: TOMMI 2022
That's what the media educators say:
"It's great to be able to operate the tablet with a pen!
And then there is the little fox, which you simply place on the tablet and the learning can begin.
The day-care center children are a bit skeptical at first: What is it supposed to do and how can they play with it?
But then they quickly discover that they can even learn with ›Edurino‹.
They particularly enjoy rhyming and they proudly comment on their result: ›I can rhyme well!‹ They also like to repeat a task because it is great fun for them to learn.
Even if today's children are not familiar with all the terms from the educational games.
›Edurino‹ offers preschool children in particular the first opportunity to deal with their language.
They are enthusiastic about the good combination of playing and learning.«
The tests for the special prize for kindergarten and pre-school were carried out by media educator Prof. Dr. Stefan Aufenanger from the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz with children in kindergartens.
