As you can imagine there are tons of different options in the Toys category and even loads of options of products from Osmo so it’s important to take the time to find the right one for you. The four areas that we want to delve in to a little more are the quality, the price of the product, what the reviews are saying about it and then finally we’ll look at an overall score which takes into account the other factors.
Quality of Osmo Genius Starter Kit
Osmo Genius Starter Kit scored an incredible 9.8/10 for quality.
As you’d expect with a lot of products, quality is a very important factor for choosing products in the “Toys” category. But it’s even more important to consider and get a feel for quality when you’re buying online because you aren’t given the benefit of being able to see and try the item for yourself.
This is of course why we can’t stress enough the importance of reading lots of reviews, as it will really help you to get a good feel for how good the quality is. A top tip when reading the reviews is to use the search function on your browser and search for the word “quality” in the reviews that way you can skip straight to customers that have mentioned about the quality of Osmo Genius Starter Kit.
Once you’ve had a good look over the reviews you’ll have a pretty good indication of how good the quality of Osmo Genius Starter Kit is, but we also have the following factors that you should consider to get an idea of the quality of the product you’re looking at.
- Price: It probably sounds obvious, but there are links to the price you pay and the quality of a product. Try and set your expectations for the quality based on your budget. You wouldn’t expect a Rolls-Royce for the price of a Fiesta so bear this in mind when shopping.
- Specification: It’s a really good idea to look over the product description and specification section of the website, for Osmo Genius Starter Kit you can read the full details on the John Lewis & Partners website where it will give you all the detail you need. It’s useful as you’ll probably already have a good idea of the sort of specs that make good Toys. Also compare these specs to other similar products that are in the same price bracket.
- Brand: Osmo are obviously a strong and recognisable brand for making great Toys, so you’d expect Osmo Genius Starter Kit to deliver to these expectations. But always consider the brand when you’re thinking about the quality of the product you’re going to buy, and where quality is an important factor to you, look only at those well known brands (of course only if your budget allows).
- Your experience with Toys: You’ll no doubt have some history with buying Toys, and you may have even bought products from the same brand, Osmo, use this information to your advantage. You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it.

There’s a lot of geeky analysis to be done on price, but what we find most effective and informative is to look at 3 different figures when comparing products and that is the average price, the most expensive and the cheapest. This gives you a really good feel for what the normal product would cost but also giving you an idea of just how cheap you can find it or the opposite, just how expensive some are. It’s also useful to look at the average of the products that fit in the same category as well as products from the same brand. So we’re going to look in more detail now at the price of Osmo Genius Starter Kit.

- Description: Osmo is a unique educational gaming accessory that opens up your iPad to the infinite possibilities of physical play. Crafted with reflective artificial intelligence, Osmo’s advanced technology bridges the real and digital realms. Osmo Genius Kit expands on the Starter Kit by adding on the newest game, Numbers, to the existing set of games. The full kit allows children to explore science, maths, art and more, and comes with five incredibly fun games as standard: Numbers, Tangram, Newton, Words and Masterpiece. Numbers In a world of daunting worksheets and equations, Osmo Numbers makes maths fun and engaging. Arrange physical tiles, including dots and digits, to make numbers and complete levels. Add by putting more tiles, subtract by removing tiles and multiply by connecting tiles together! Kids can take on maths without the pressure of time or the fear that they’ll get the wrong answer. Osmo’s real-time feedback lets kids learn through experimentation in a stress-free environment. When kids get the idea that there are multiple good ways to solve a problem, maths becomes creative and fun. With a counting, addition, concatenation and multiplication mode, there is a challenge for everybody. As kids get more confident in one mode, they can move on the next one, allowing them to learn at their own pace. Tangram Deceptively simple, this seemingly easy game of arranging tangible puzzle pieces into matching on-screen shapes has entertained players for almost a thousand years. All you’ve got to do is match the tiles to the pictures on the iPad; how hard can it be? Osmo reinvents this classic by using a fully interactive video experience with visual and audio feedback, multiple levels of difficulty, achievements and more, to bring the fun to a whole new generation. A great way to exercise spatial and visual problem-solving skills, the game features over 500 different puzzles of different shapes and forms. Animals, numbers, humans and more – there’s so much to create. Whether playing alone or re-arranging the tiles with friends, once you’ve completed a puzzle, your handiwork lights up on screen with each victory, no matter how long it took! Newton Offering endless possibilities, Osmo Newton is a physics game that works with any object or drawing. Simply place the chosen item in front of the screen and manipulate it to guide the falling balls into the target zones. Start with a pen and paper, but also try objects like Osmo Tangram pieces or toys. There is no limit to how you can solve Newton levels, so use your imagination to expand the way you play! The more you succeed, the harder it gets! You can use simple strategies in the beginning, but as you progress through the 60 levels, Newton will challenge you with bouncing balls, accelerating platforms and fans that force you to think in new ways! Words Look at the on-screen clue to guess the secret word, and zoom letter tiles into the play space to spell your answer. Each letter you get right appears on screen, until eventually the entire word is revealed. Altogether, Words is fast-paced, challenging, and F-U-N. Play solo or compete with a friend or family member to see who will be the first to spell the mystery word. You can even challenge your favourite Osmo characters, like Awbie or Mo, to a game. They can’t wait to play with you! In Adventure mode, every puzzle you solve takes you farther on an epic expedition across an imaginary land. The more words you get right, the more levels and characters you unlock. Enjoy the journey! Words comes with tons of puzzle images, but if you’re looking for even more, head over to myOsmo and download any of the puzzle albums built by the community. With more albums being added all the time, the fun never has to end! It’s easy to assemble a game with your own pictures and words at myOsmo. Create an album about any theme or topic you want, from school subjects to family members to… literally anything! For teachers, customising Words is a great way to get kids interacting with class material in an exciting and engaging way. Masterpiece Osmo Masterpiece is a drawing tool that helps your inner artist emerge. Just pick something to draw: a picture of a friend, a favourite cartoon, or even a photo you snap yourself, and Masterpiece transforms it into easy-to-follow lines. Then it guides you in creating beautiful drawings! The possibilities are infinite. Kids love to draw but now, with the rise of smartphones and iPads, they spend less time than ever using a pencil. Masterpiece combines cool technology with drawing, so kids have fun while improving their skill and dexterity. Please Note: iPad not included & is required to play. Compatible with iPad 2-6, iPad mini 1-4, iPad air 1-2, iPad pro 9.7 & 10.5 inch. Genius Starter Kit comes with the Osmo iPad base (stand & reflector), game playing pieces (including upper and lower case word tiles) and stackable storage containers.
