Brain Games

Single person brain game for children 6 years old and upwards.

There are sixty challenges, easy ones at the beginning and getting harder and harder.  Position the four penguins as indicated on the challenge and then try and fit in the ice floes around them. There may only be four ice floes but it's really quite tricky.

The board is about 15cm across and comes with a lid, making it a great travel game.

Single person brain teaser game for children age 5 and upwards (and shop-keepers when it's quiet in the shop).

Three hungry worms want to share an apple.

Choose one of the sixty challenges.  Twist the apple board so it matches the one shown in the challenge and then work out where to position the three bendy worms.

Cat Crimes is a single player brain game in which you have to identify which of the six cats committed the crime. So choose a challenge card, put the crime token on the board and then using the clues on the card work out where each of the cats were sitting.  The one sitting opposite the token is the culprit.

Age suitability: 8 years+

This is the brain game that everyone knows.  Voted one the best 25 toys of the last twenty five years and approved by Mensa, it deserves to be so well known.  Personally I find it infuriatingly difficult, so much so that when demonstrating it, I have had to memorise how to do one of the easier challenges and then hope that no one asks me to show them how to do any of the other challenges.

You set the board up as detailed in one of the 40 challenge cards.  Then you have to slide the other vehicles out of the way so that your little red car can escape.

Excellent little 3D brain game from Smart Games for children 6 years upwards.

Choose one of the 48 puzzles from the booklet and build the little car putting the four coloured pieces in the correct positions.  This is something we keep on the counter in the shop and we like to challenge children to do it.  Normally they can do the easier ones quite quickly but the harder ones towards the back of the book cause a bit of head-scratching.

Single player brain game for children age 7 upwards with a booklet of 120 challenges that start easy and get harder and harder to nearly impossible.

Single person brain teaser game for children age 7 and upwards.

Choose one of the eighty challenges.  They start easy but get harder and harder as you work through the book.

You'll be told the outcome of the battle between the two pirate ships and the 4 navy ships, which side ends up being sunk and which victorious.  Place the two rock pieces where indicated on the board and then work out where to place all the ships.  Each ship has canons on both sides, so if you place them side by side, both ships sink.  If you place them side on, just one will sink.

Test your logic by arranging the pieces so that the vegetarian dinosaurs are on different islands to the greedy meat-eating ones.

Single person puzzle game.

The booklet contains 80 challenges, each one showing a layout of islands that you have to recreate on the board.  As you go through the book, you get less and less help.  It is suitable for children from 6 up although younger ones may need a little help initially getting the hang of the concept.  I highly recommend it, not least because, in quiet moments in the shop, I have managed to complete all the puzzles which isn't the case for many of the other Smart Games.

Another of the Smart Games we keep on our shop counter.  This is really for children 3 to 6 year olds but it still makes many adults think.

There is a booklet with 48 challenges telling you where to place the pigs on the board.  In the first half, it is daytime and the wolf is not around, so you position the three houses on the board with the pigs outside the houses.  In the second half, the wolf appears, so you have to place the houses in such a way that the pigs are safely inside and the wolf outside.
