Family Games XS Head Stress Series Timber Box IQ Collection Puzzle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This appears easier than it is...at least I struggled with it more than expected. A larger puzzle with the same beautiful wood as others, this is an impressive puzzle in part because it seems more simple than it is....or maybe we were having a bad day! Either way, don't be fooled by the simplicity of the form, this provides a serious challenge for the more dedicated enthusiast without stressing you to the point of giving up. Don't leave this one on the coffee table or guests will obsess thorughout the entire evening...it's not a five minute puzzle - at least if you don't peak at the solution!
I own/play with a lot of these puzzles BUT...to get a true sense of the puzzle, I throw out the instructions without ever looking at them whenever bringing home a new puzzle. Also, because my better half is visually impaired, it gives us both a "level" playing field with a little friendly competitive. See my other reviews for a break down on difficulty level, quality of workmanship and more.

Ravensburger The Solar System - Set of 8 puzzleballs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these puzzleballs for my ds who just turned 7. He loves the solar system and these were right up his alley. They were relatively easy for him to put together. All the pieces are numbers on the back. So it was just a matter of putting them in their proper order. They are very sturdy plastic. We did break one piece and will be contacting the company to see if we can get a replacement.

Family Games XS Head Stress Series Branch Out IQ Collection Puzzle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a puzzle that actually looks a lot harder to solve than it really is.However; that all depends on how you start.If it is assembled as shown ,and you look at it for a bit before taking it apart,to which there is no difficulty at all;then it isn't too difficult in putting it together again.
However,if someone were to disassemble it and hand it to you in pieces,and tells you to assemble the pieces into something,the results would be something else.It seems to me that it is unlikely you would come up with the original structure.
It might be fairer to briefly show it assembled,then take it apart,and have them assemble it.
It's an excellent puzzle and will entertailn young and old alike.

Snake Cube Solitaire Puzzle Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, we buy a lot of these types of brain teasers and puzzles. This is a well built item, very durable. Originally I expected this to be very easy but to date, it remains unsolved. Everyone from the age of ten to mid-forties has enjoyed trying this out...in fact, it quickly became the center of attention this past weekend as out of town family members ranging in age from 12, 19 to 40 attempted to solve it. None did although the 40 year old worked on it for the better part of an entire afternoon [we lost him to this one]. Another great feature about this one is that it is one piece - unlike others that have multiple pieces that easily get lost or scattered about. Due to that, it is an excellent choice for those that may have young children or pets in the household OR for to take along when traveling.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to unravel this cube into a snake (just twist and swivel the 27 wooden cubes to uncoil the serpent) but it certainly helps to be a genius to put it back together. This legendarily difficult brain-teasing puzzle will have you undulating in no time. If the snake starts to constrict you, just remember: The string of cubes form a Hamiltonian path through a 3󫢫 grid graph, duh! Skill and patience will be tried when turning the snake back into the original cube. Dimensions: 2 1/3" x 2 1/3" x 2 1/3"

Family Games XS Head Stress Series Hexahedron IQ Collection Puzzle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Taking this puzzle apart is simple so it's a good choice for those new to puzzles - putting it back together is a bit more of a pain. The simplicity is likely to stump those that think too long about it...in general the kids out-performed the adults on this one every time! Not for small children but great for everyone else. Quick fun and don't over think this one!

Family Games XS Head Stress Series Spheroid IQ Collection Puzzle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We own a couple dozen (and counting) of these wood brain teaser puzzles and this is one of my favorites; it's not too difficult and not so easy that you don't feel challenged...I'd give it a 4 or 5 out of 10. Unlike some puzzles, this doesn't take up the better part of an afternoon - it is a quick fix which makes it great to set aside while watching television or in an easy to reach location. Warning - you company won't be able to keep their hands off it it! Admittedly, I also find it really attractive which doesn't hurt but is a non-issue. This has a few additional pieces but not so many that you fear having to encounter a scattered mess. Appropriate for older children and adults but younger children might find it a little frustrating depending upon their tolerance to this type of puzzle. This is a bit more fragile than others simply due to the construction required however, it well made and should last a long time with proper use/care.

ThinkFun Rush Hour Jr. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For children who likes puzzles and mazes, this is a great find. To get the ice cream truck out of the traffic jam, the child must think on more than one level and more than one move ahead. Any wrong moves can be easily reversed and there is no penalty for wrong moves, only the thrill of solving the puzzle. Its great for solo play or for two to work together. The travel bag makes it a terrific "take along" toy -- as long as you have a flat surface on which to set up the board. My son is five years old and takes great pride in solving the simplest level puzzles. With a total of four levels of difficulty, I think we will be playing this game for some time to come.
