Genius Square Review - Our Family Reviews The Genius Square Review - Our Family Reviews

A really fun game to challenge yourself or your friends. A game that gets your brain working and one that can be completed in under a minute so you can easily play several rounds without getting bored. I love logic games and we play several in our house. But most logic games and puzzles are for single players, games to challenge yourself. The Genius Square is very different. It is a logic game for 1-2 players, aged 6 and upwards, with a Genius Level rating of 3 out 5 lightbulbs (suitable for the whole family). And there is ALWAYS a solution to the possible 62,208 puzzle combinations. As you can see from the comments above, my boys have genuine fun with The Genius Square. They are often battling it out between themselves, giving Mum and Dad a break as they amuse themselves away from the lure of electronics. George (9): I might not win all the time but I do like The Genius Square. It looks a bit like Tetris and I like how it changes each time with the dice rolls. I do like puzzle games and this is one of my favourites.As I hinted at above, Genius Square doesn’t take long to set up, no matter if you are playing with someone or on your own. Technically with two players the game suggests you go head to head to see who can solve the puzzle first. You can play against the game itself, something I will go into more detail when we come to gameplay. However you play, the setup is the same. Each player takes one of the Genius Square Boards, the nine multicoloured geometric shapes, the six wooden pegs and the half dozen six sided dice. These dice will determine the layout of the puzzle board. There are definitely learning benefits from Genius Square! It will help you learn to see patterns and teach your brain great spatial awareness skills. What’s great about the game?

With so many combinations to play that always have at least one solution, The Genius Square is indeed genius and is great fun to challenge yourself, friends and family. It is as much fun for children as it is for teenagers and adults. Brain-teasing enjoyment for the entire family.Games are over in a flash and while this opens the options up for ‘best of five’ or similar, it can get a bit repetitive if played too much in succession. Instead of looking at specific developmental areas that children might need help with, look at their interests and how those interests can be incorporated into the toy. This will ensure that play and learn go hand in hand, allowing learning toys to develop important skills in children during their play-time. For example, if you are buying a toy for a toddler that is too advanced, they may get bored and turn to other activities while they wait for the toy to be played with. Thus, early learning toys are appropriate for toddlers, instead of too complex toys. The next thing to consider when choosing toys for children is what do we want them to learn? Do we want them to learn about animals? About colors? About counting? These are all important topics that you may want your child exposed to from an early age so that they can begin learning about these things before school starts and continue learning throughout the year. Educational toys play a big role in this, as they keep on introducing and nurturing children with educational topics, their surroundings, life skills and many more.

I love this game so much, but there is one thing I would definitely improve with it. The box only comes ready to play for two people, so they should add more sets so that you can play with more than just one or two people. We even bought another whole Genius Square game just so that we could play with three or four people instead of just one or two.Genius Square is recommended to be played by 1-2 people and is suitable for children and adults of the ages 6 and older. Genius Square is manufactured by “the Happy Puzzle Company”. Although this isn’t noted on the box, we find it’s usually a very fast game and only takes a few minutes. What is inside the board game?
