SmartGames Atlantis Escape; a 3D Path-Building Travel Game for Kids and Adults, a STEM Focused Cogni

This puzzle is so cute and sturdy with thick plastic pieces and a well-fitting lid. The size is small enough to throw in a backpack but you could also display it as a nice table top game. I am 5’2” so my hands are pretty small as a comparison in the video. The spatial problem solving ramps up quick with the difficulty. I’ve been using this to try and curb my mindless social media scrolling and I feel it’s helped. It keeps you engaged, the pieces are fun to handle, you feel accomplished (or maybe not so much) when you’ve finished. This one is especially fun to get a friend involved when you’re stumped.

I have had this game a few years now. Beautiful sturdy pieces easy to learn but it get challenging as you progress through the levels. I love how all the pieces store in the container. The whole family has enjoyed playing with this one.

One could play this game by simply trying out a lot of combinations. While this is impractical in the later levels (you need to bring in some limiting observations) there's still a big element of just trying a lot of different positions.

I collect and enjoy a ton of these multi-challenge puzzles from the likes of SmartGames, ThinkFun, etc.. I own 15 or 16 from SmartGames alone. Atlantis Escape is an excellent addition! Production is great. The pieces and container are all solid, easy to put away, and compact. The puzzles are super fun, and make no mistake - this might be great for kids, but is a fun challenge for adults! I'm pretty confident that any adult would find half or more of the puzzles challenging and engaging. I am just amazed at how they design these puzzles! Surely there is some software involved, but coming up with so many different challenges using such a minimal number of pieces (6 total pieces!) just baffles me. I'm very impressed! Kudos to the designer and anyone involved in putting all the challenges together. Anyway, if you love puzzles like this, this is a great one to add to your collection!
