SmartGames IQ Six Pro Travel Game for Kids and Adults, a Skill-Building Brain Game - Brain Teaser for Ages 8 & Up, 120 Challenges in Travel-Friendly Case

If you have any of the SmartGames IQ puzzles you already know how much fun they are. I've had IQ Puzzler Pro for several years now and it's one of my favorites because you have three different puzzle games in one product. I also enjoy the pyrimid puzzle part because it is a three dimensional puzzle which is harder to solve but really rewarding when you do. So, when I saw IQ Six initial I thought it was just a different version of IQ Puzzler Pro. I took a chance and bought it anyway and I'm really glad I did. Yes, both products have a very similar look to them but the shape of the pieces make a big difference in how each of these puzzles are solved. While I love all the IQ puzzle games that SmartGames makes I have to say the ones I like the best are the ones with a three dimensional component to them like IQ Fit and IQ Puzzler Pro (and now IQ Six). If you like these kind of puzzles then you will enjoy IQ Six too ! Side note(s): These are great for kids and seniors (as well as the rest of us). For kids it helps them learn spatial orientation, logic and reasoning, (hopefully) patience in the process of the trial and error needed in order to solve problems, etc. For seniors much of same applies to them as well. What's an added benefit for them is it helps keep there mind sharp and helps with dexterity. The SmartGames website obviously states all the great benefits there games and puzzles provide better than I can. I don't think you could go wrong buying any of their products and IQ Six is an excellent choice. A world of caution: the puzzle piece are a decent size but still might be small enough that you don't want your little ones or pets accidentally swallowing them - take similar precautions with these as you would take with standard Lego bricks. Enjoy the puzzle game (and the cool colors too) !!!

Great toy,great price

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I bought this as a travel game for the family. We had so much fun trying to get through each level. It's entertaining and challenging enough for all ages.

This IQ game is great for kids this was very fun . It helps my kids think a lot and really fun even I play it myself. I love how small it is and the way we can travel with it. The durability is amazing . We love this game.

Fun and challenging

The recessed board, the slippery hex pieces, & the awkward grip points make this one of my least favorite puzzles. This puzzle should have a flat contrast board & shallow or raised grooves so that pieces sit on the board & not in it. Mixing 2D & 3 D boards does not work here. I am not just playing with shapes. I need to feel the shape of the pieces, feel how the pieces fit on the board, & how they interlock together. Here it is difficult to feel where one piece begins & another ends. I am reading the puzzle with my hands. When the physical design loses this, the entire experience falls flat. I am able to do some of these puzzles-just not with the accustomed ease that I have come to know with other puzzles. The booklet containing the illustrations & solutions are done well. The case is sturdy & fastens well. This game is built to last. There are 72 2D challenges & 48 3D challenges. The only thing that I play is the 2D puzzles. There are only a combined 24 Starter & Junior 2D puzzles which I would ideally play. Usually both of these levels have 24 challenges; instead of, 12 per level as they do here. This could be a satisfying game with a design change. Smart Games is my favorite brand of puzzles. I have many brain teasers & usually am pleased with my purchase. Buy this puzzle if this puzzle design as previously described poses no problem for you. I would love the puzzle were it not for difficulty with manipulation & difficulty seeing the recessed grooves. I gave this a 4 star rating because I felt generous - not because it was deserved. I continue to buy just about all travel games & Deluxe games that are released.

Grandkids 7-11 loved them!!!!

This really encourages critical thinking. Portable and durable. I would say this is a great quality for the money. It's challenging with various levels. The different levels can accommodate various ages, my whole family enjoys this. I absolutely love it, personally. I can spend hours solving the puzzles.

My 9 year old son loves brain teasers. This one is perfect difficulty. Hours of fun and perfect for traveling or taking to the restaurant to keep the kids occupied and entertained. Very engaging - even for me

We love this company and the brain games they offer.

It could come in bigger pieces
