The task exercises your visuospatial working memory; the component of working memory that allows you to temporarily hold and manipulate information about places.
Game: The kids will be asked to remember the boxes that has mirror in it and then to find the destination of the reflected light. Mirrors will appear for few seconds, then disappear. On clicking the right destination spot the kid will score. If not, he/she will be taught more by Tux.
