A NOTE FROM LAURI:
A particularly fun and tactile logic puzzle. I have a soft spot for logic games, they are my personal favorites. This game is particularly appealing because of the chocolate pieces. The puzzles are quite easy for beginners at the beginning, yet progress to puzzles where clues need to be combined in order to figure out the answers. It is a way to engage younger kids into logic puzzles.
Appealing to younger kids than 8+. Although this puzzle game is rated for kids 8+ years, my experience is that this is better for gifted kids that are younger. I think a better age guide is 6-9 for gifted kids. By the time they are 10 or 11, the feedback that I get is that the puzzles "seem" too easy to the kids and they are less likely to play it. (Actually, the more advanced puzzles are OK for this age, sometimes I think they just think the chocolate theme it is too young for them.) However, the candy aspect IS very enticing to younger kids, because they are seldom allowed to play with candy so there is a "it is so fun to play something that is forbidden" aspect that is engaging and fun! |
