The Intermediate levels are harder to solve and Advanced / Expert levels are a puzzle lover's delight, adults should be challenged. This game has 4 levels of difficulty: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert, with 10 cards for each. The solution is on the back of the card, helpful when I got stuck, then I tried again without looking at the solution. I bought it for a 8 year old and she completed the Beginner levels. Her 6 year old sister wanted to try and managed to solved a couple levels. Imagine the player's satisfaction when the red car is freed from the traffic jam. This game was a good find.If this is relevant: someone with an advanced degree in engineering saw our game and gave it a try on Expert level, soon was totally absorbed.
We purchased this product for our waiting room (we see a lot of families in our office) and it has been a hit. Both adults and kids can't wait to try the different puzzles. It is nice because the puzzles have different challenge levels, so there is always a puzzle for every age level. I would definitely recommend this product.
My son received this for his 8th birthday. He loved it and enjoys solving the puzzles. The great thing is that he can challenge his young adult cousins to see who can solve a puzzle the fastest, so it is something that is not limited to children or to playing alone.
My daughter has ADHD as well as learning disabilities. It is not something that could be played in the car though--too many pieces. I don't know what makes this game special but it certainly accesses a part of her brain that other things don't.
Even at 9 years old, she was somehow able to go through all the levels of the game (something which most adults can't do). It teaches planning skills, critical thinking skills, spacial skills AND it is fun. Her occupational therapist recommended this game and used it in her sessions.
Whether you or your child can go through all the levels, this game is worth the money. I would have NEVER thought my ADHD child would love this game. I knew I did but she isn't someone who sits down and concentrates on anything.
I think this is my best toy purchase EVER. But it does have a travel bag so you can use it at your destination.
Now we have regular set (from 8 to adult) too, and he can solve all problems except #40. My son will be 5 y.o. But it's really hard. in several months. He started from junior set and finished it very fast. I can't do it too. Great game for all ages.
