Whotchilli comes with 3 games included in the box but you can find the rules and how to play videos for all Whotchilli games here
We put the age rating at 6+ because there are some games that a 6 year old can play – but some might be a little too difficult at that age without help from someone older.
Whotchilli is recommended by National Numeracy and leading maths consultants.

This is a compact card game set (perfect for travel) with 8 different games to play, each using various skills – logic, memory, reasoning, times tables and mental arithmetic. Great games for playing as a family (my personal favourite is Heat Seeker, but also loved Chilly Chilli and Chilli Chase). It’s a clever, educational game. I found the online instructions easy to follow, and contained more games than shown in the pack. Good value at under £10.

It’s about the size of a set of playing cards with cards and a twelve sided dice. It’s well made, the cards look good and like a pack of cards there are lots of different games to play. We used the videos on the website and found the games very easy to play.

I have had great pleasure in reviewing Whotchilli and really enjoyed all the games. These are the strengths of the game:
• The videos are well prepared and helpful if you needed further guidance on how to play (love the music!).
• The cards are attractive, engaging, colourful and are easily portable – ideal for travel games but also minimal storage if, for example, in schools
• A 12 sided die – extending calculation possibilities
• A good variety of games using the same cards (also no extra resources needed)
• The rules are easy to learn
• Good literacy links with the play on words
• Rules translated into several languages
• Contribute to the development of logic, memory, thinking and reasoning skills, prediction, addition, subtraction, multiplication and negative numbers
• The games are engaging for all age groups so ideal for family interaction and parental engagement.
Just for interest, ‘looking good’ was also not so engaging with only 3 players – using just 2 cards. However, for 4 or more players, it quickly became addictive!
Overall, these are fun but mentally challenging games which practise mental arithmetic alongside vital thinking and reasoning skills. The games therefore support the curriculum in the context of play; children love them as they can beat their parents – it is not reliant on calculation skills to win. It is crucial to develop this sort of mental agility in children (and parents!) as this is an essential skill for a numerate life.
I’m delighted that I can therefore recommend this game without reservation

For the sheer variety of games, ease of use, convenience and educational value “WhotChilli” has to score 5/5! See the full review of Whotchilli by What’s Good To Do here

WhotChilli would make a good gift for a more able young mathematician (or one with slightly more patience as they improve). It says it’s suitable for ages 6+, but that doesn’t apply equally to all the games. I’d recommend it for children 8 and up.The cards themselves are fun. Full review Read more

Good games and all different – particularly enjoyed Lookin’ Hot – even better to receive a 4th game, Scorchio via email and a promise of more games in future. My 9 year old and I both enjoyed playing.
