Genius Square Review - David Savage The Genius Square Review - David Savage

I’ve had some games last over 20 minutes and have beaten some in less time than it took me to set up the board. It uses a lot of different skill sets: Sequencing, Spatial Awareness, Speed of Thought, Strategic Planning, and Visual Perception to be enable players to successfully solve the puzzles, which also make it an excellent education STEM game. My nearly-three-year-old got ahold of the game, and she immediately began filling the puzzle surface with all sorts of arrangements. The unique twist that makes The Genius Square so challenging is that the 7 blockers are in a different place for every game!DISCLOSURE:We received this product for free for the purpose of writing an honest and impartial review.

The Happy Puzzle Company have a range of worldwide award-winning games that allow players to do just this and the first game in the series is The Genius Square.So I recommend that you try a variation: One player tries to fill in the board, and then the second player tries to fill in the board in a way that is totally distinct.

Each player will get one game board which has 36 small squares for the blockers and colored shapes to fit into, 7 blockers, and 9 colored shapes. It’s very easy to slip into the problem solving zone and switch off from everything else that’s on your mind.The Genius Square is another in a long line of spatial reasoning puzzles that, while not teaching mathematical content explicitly, provide a chance for your child to develop their sense of how objects fit together. 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. And each of the 62,208 puzzles has at least one way to solve it – there will never be a puzzle that can’t be solved. First of all, you cannot place the blockers into random places or move them into any squares other than what the dice show. For example, if your child loves playing with cars then why not set up some cones in the driveway and have them race each other?
