Formula D for non gamers is a bit too long. I'd stick with Hot Streak and Just One to get friends into gaming.
I'm intrigued by the two-player game and education mentions. I didn't like the name Haunted Mouse, but the artwork makes me think it could be fun! Also, you get to collect cheese!
Okay this is too cute... love it
