If you like puzzles,you’ll love this gem.There are several puzzles such as “Lonpos” and “Kanoodle” that are similar and with several varients,and they all offer a large number of puzzles or challenges.They are one player puzzles;but if so inclined ,and you have more than one set,time challenges could be arranged where more than one person could compete against one another in seeing who can complete the same puzzle the fastest. While “Lonpos” and “Kanoodle” also have pyramid building puzzles;this set of I Q Twist does not.However; this puzzle has 7 pegs that are placed in different lolocations and numbers.Then there are 8 twisted playing pieces that are to be placed into the playing board.The added challenge is created by having to fit one of the holes in the playing pieces over a peg of the same color. It is a well made puzzle,made of sturdy plastic and comes in a sturdy plastic case that is the playing board as well as a place to store the pegs and pieces.Also is included is a booklet that is made of high quality paper and with excellent color illustrations of both the 100 different puzzle challenges and the solution for them.The puzzles are arrangede in 5 different levels of difficulty:Starter,Junior,Expert,Master and Wizard. Size wise it is a little larger than a deck of playing cards which makes it an excellent puzzle to carry with you,particularly when travelling. I wouldn’t begin to say which of these puzzles is the best;because they will all give you many hours of entertainment and challenge.Even after you have completed a puzzle ,it is still a good challenge to try it again at a later date.

I love little sit down games that I can do while chilling in a chair or on the go. This game delivers portability and fun. The object of the game is to place the colored pegs in predetermined spots. Then you have to put the twist parts in so that the colored pegs fit into a matching color hole of a twist. All the pieces must fit back in the tray with all the twist pieces surrounding their given colored pegs.
As with most games, there are beginning levels, moderate and expert. Lots of levels designed to keep you busy for hours.
All the pieces, pegs and twists, fit neatly in the box along with the challenge booklet. The game fits in your hand for a quick portable grab.
Although the challenges start easy, they quickly get challenging, not impossible but for an experienced puzzler like me, they may take more than a few minutes of trial an error to figure out. Which is great in that the game isn’t quickly finished but can work against a younger crowd quickly as they may get frustrated quickly. I would put the age range as 7/8 and up.
A great travel game – requires no batteries!

|A Game for All Ages,
Don’t be fooled though as to how easy it is… I play with it too and can get stumped. At least the answers are provided if you really get stuck. 🙂
Great fun for all of us.
