This game was a good find.If this is relevant: someone with an advanced degree in engineering saw our game and gave it a try on Expert level, soon was totally absorbed. The Intermediate levels are harder to solve and Advanced / Expert levels are a puzzle lover's delight, adults should be challenged. Her 6 year old sister wanted to try and managed to solved a couple levels. Imagine the player's satisfaction when the red car is freed from the traffic jam. This game has 4 levels of difficulty: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert, with 10 cards for each. I bought it for a 8 year old and she completed the Beginner levels. The solution is on the back of the card, helpful when I got stuck, then I tried again without looking at the solution.
Both adults and kids can't wait to try the different puzzles. I would definitely recommend this product. We purchased this product for our waiting room (we see a lot of families in our office) and it has been a hit. It is nice because the puzzles have different challenge levels, so there is always a puzzle for every age level.
He loved it and enjoys solving the puzzles. My son received this for his 8th birthday. The great thing is that he can challenge his young adult cousins to see who can solve a puzzle the fastest, so it is something that is not limited to children or to playing alone.
But it does have a travel bag so you can use it at your destination. Whether you or your child can go through all the levels, this game is worth the money. I knew I did but she isn't someone who sits down and concentrates on anything. I think this is my best toy purchase EVER. Her occupational therapist recommended this game and used it in her sessions.
It is not something that could be played in the car though--too many pieces. I don't know what makes this game special but it certainly accesses a part of her brain that other things don't. Even at 9 years old, she was somehow able to go through all the levels of the game (something which most adults can't do). My daughter has ADHD as well as learning disabilities. I would have NEVER thought my ADHD child would love this game.
It teaches planning skills, critical thinking skills, spacial skills AND it is fun.
Great game for all ages. Now we have regular set (from 8 to adult) too, and he can solve all problems except #40. He started from junior set and finished it very fast. I can't do it too. My son will be 5 y.o. in several months. But it's really hard.
