Pixelberry Studios is launching an educational (but fun) update to teach kids about the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) within the narrative of its successful High School Story mobile game.

The update helps kids study for the big test without knowing it by embedding lessons in a game that is fun. It also helps students deal with the stress of the SAT at the same time. It’s part of Pixelberry’s mission to create positive digital entertainment that improves the lives of its players while also building a profitable business. To date, Pixelberry’s High School Story has been downloaded more than 12 million times, and it has generated $9.7 million this year, up four-fold from a year ago.
