I purchased this for my 8 year old son’s birthday and we both found it too difficult. I’ll admit that I’m not the best at this type of thing but even I thought it was very frustrating and not worth the energy.

We got this for my husband for Christmas, last year. He is an engineer and loves this puzzle. It is a challenge and some puzzles are easier than others. Younger children may become frustrated, but there are various levels.

I was looking for a puzzle that had a lot of different challenges. This provided that and was small enough to take anywhere. It’s great for the mind, but I do think that one tends to solve the puzzles but just randomly placing the blocks in different positions instead of actually sitting down and thinking how each block should be placed. Overall though it’s a great game to pass the time away.

I ordered this for my kids, but my husband and I have enjoyed solving the puzzles, too. I also recommend Square By Square, our family favorite.

My daughters played this game at school during parent/teacher conferences. This game had the attention of all of the kids that were in the hall. We purchased it, it’s great to travel with and keeps kids occupied while waiting at appointments, etc….
