About Mission: T.H.I.N.K.

This game helps you build important skills like critical thinking. This means you learn to think carefully, solve problems, and come up with good plans. It was released in 1999 for both Windows and Macintosh computers.

Gameplay and Story

In Mission T.H.I.N.K., you need to complete five different levels. Each level is set inside a big warehouse. Your main goal is to stop Morty Maxwell, who is trying to take over the Shady Glen Game Factory. He has some helpers called Metal Minions.

How to Play

To finish each level, you must solve puzzles to open doors. As you explore the warehouse, you will collect special pieces. These pieces are important for a strategy game you play at the end of each level. This final game is a bit like checkers.

Dealing with Metal Minions

While you are looking for pieces, you need to watch out for the Metal Minions. They will try to steal your pieces! If a minion takes one of your pieces, don't worry. You can throw a magnet at them. This magnet will trap the Metal Minion, and you can get your stolen piece back. You have an unlimited supply of magnets, so use them whenever you need to.

Working with Rusty

You won't be alone in your mission. A friendly Metal Minion named Rusty will help you. Rusty doesn't like what Morty Maxwell is doing and will guide you along the way.

Winning the Game

After you beat Morty Maxwell in the strategy game at all five levels, you complete a final puzzle. This puzzle shows Morty leaving the factory, meaning you've saved the day!
