Diaspora family stories

From Sudoku in Lyon to bronze at the math olympiad

Yasmin started in our Puzzle Hunters at 8 from Lyon. By 12 she was at France's national math olympiad. By 14, bronze medal. The reasoning toolkit started here, in our friendly online puzzle room.

"My daughter calls puzzle class her 'happy time'. She'd be a math olympian whether or not she enjoyed it — but she does enjoy it, and that's the gift."

Common questions

What diaspora parents ask us

Is this stressful or competitive?

Never stressful. We celebrate progress, not winners. Some children love friendly competition — for them we have the puzzle hunt — but no one's compared with another.

Will this help with school math?

Strongly yes. Reasoning + pattern recognition transfer directly to math, science, and coding.

What if my child is already advanced?

Great — we have leveled puzzle tracks. We'll find their challenge zone in the trial class.

Bilingual — do puzzles work that way?

Yes — many puzzles are language-free (visual). When language matters (riddles), we use both English and Persian to keep heritage alive.

Can my child join mid-year?

Yes, with 2-week onboarding.
