Learn how to set up Osmo Math Wizard and the Enchanted World Games on your iPad, including base requirements, game app installation, and troubleshooting tips.
Quick Answer
To set up Osmo Math Wizard and the Enchanted World Games, you'll need the Osmo base for your iPad, the game app, and the physical game pieces. Follow the steps below to get playing in minutes.
What You Need Before Starting
Before you begin, make sure you have the Osmo base (required for all Osmo games), the Math Wizard and the Enchanted World Games app, and the physical game pieces that come with the game. The base is sold separately if you're new to Osmo, and it's essential for the iPad camera to see the play area.
Compatibility Check
Osmo games work with most iPads, but not all models are supported. Check the Osmo website for the list of compatible iPad models and iOS versions. If your iPad isn't listed, the game may not function correctly.
Step-by-Step Setup Instructions
- Insert the Osmo base: Place your iPad in the Osmo base, with the red reflector clip on top of the iPad camera. Ensure the iPad is seated securely and the camera is unobstructed. Check that the reflector is centered over the camera lens.
- Download the game app: Go to the App Store on your iPad and search for 'Osmo Math Wizard and the Enchanted World Games'. Download and install the app. Make sure you're signed in with the Apple ID you use for purchases. If the app doesn't appear, verify your iPad is compatible with the game.
- Open the app and follow on-screen instructions: Launch the app. It will guide you through the initial setup, including connecting to the game pieces and calibrating the play area. Follow the prompts exactly as shown. If the app asks for permission to access the camera, allow it.
- Place the game pieces in the play area: Lay the game pieces (such as the smoothie cups and ingredient tiles) flat on the table in front of the iPad, within the red reflector's view. The app will show a preview to confirm they're visible. Ensure the play area is well-lit and free of shadows or other objects that could confuse the camera.
- Start playing and troubleshoot if needed: Once the app recognizes the pieces, your child can start playing. If the game doesn't respond, check that the pieces are not overlapping and that the iPad is stable. Restart the app if the camera loses track of the pieces.
