Try to beat the jack-o-lantern's route as you plan your trip.

 Trick or Treat is a great game to play this Halloween to work on some math skills. The object of the game is to find the shortest distance from your house to all the other houses to pick up candy.


Everyone knows that the shortest distance between two places is a line. Now you have to estimate the shortest distance when there are more than one point. You race against a jack-o-lantern and hopefully return home at the same time.


Kids will love this game as they match math skills against the computer. It is the perfect Halloween game when trick-or-treating isn’t an option.
