SmartGames IQ Stars – Compact Travel Puzzle Game with 120 Challenges, Brain-Boosting Logic Game for Kids & Adults, Single-Player STEM Toy

Kept grandson engaged for hours while recovering from having his tonsils removed.

This is my favorite of the always high quality Smart Games. I love the shapes and colors. This puzzle is a little easier to solve than some of the others, so I can do one before bed without getting frustrated--I can even fit the pieces into the board without needing the booklet to get me started. The instructions are clearly printed and easy to read; box is nice with see-through lid.

This is a simple and yet sometimes challenging puzzle game. The rules are so.ple you try to fill the board completely. The book gives you the peices to start and you fill in the rest. They start really easy and get very challenging. The peices are only one sided however, one side is colored one is t and it only fits color side up. In the end puzzles it gives you the location of one point of the star shape instead of the whole peice. Need help or wanna double check? The solutions are in the back of the book. The case board is very sturdy and locks tight. It doesn't pop open in my backpack at all and travels very well. Just snap it closed with the book inside and you're ready to go. I recommend getting some kind s sticky tab or something to mark which puzzle you're on cause it does get hard sometimes to remember what you've already done. I originally bought this because it looked like a neat alternative to Kanoodle and I do enjoy it. I recommend it and it's such a great cheap price for it!

Kids are fascinated with this. And they are beyond excited when they figure it out! Why did you pick this product vs others?: I had one of these before. Well made, sturdy. Age range: I had it in a daycare for ages pre-K to 5th grade. All the kids loved it. The very small children enjoyed watching the older kids figure it out!

My son's school had this and I saw the kids clamoring over it, all wanting a turn (multiple turns). Exceptional value -- price, size! It easily keeps my 5 year old fully engaged and stimulated -- and helps build cognitive skills. Such a great product to bring to restaurants so the kids do not get antsy waiting for a table (and much better than handing over a phone/tablet). I will be purchasing more -- for gifts!

I first learned of this game from a 4 year old. Her family had two of them and would compete against each other. She beat me more than once and we had great fun. I bought two for my house, even though I live alone. So I break it out every once in a while and do a few puzzles and when I have company, it's a fun game for friends and family to compete against each other. I bought another and sent it to a friend in California who had surgery. At 80+ years of age, he dreaded the downtime to recoup because he is very active. He loved the game because it gave him an activity to keep his brain sharp and give him something else to think about. I would highly recommend this game for folks of all ages.

This is the perfect size game in my opinion. Does not take up much space and the pieces are still large enough to handle easily. I would say its a travel size, but I could not imagine it being bigger. The only issue is its difficult to get it closed all the way with the challenge book inside. I might have made the case a tad thicker so this booklet fit better inside. Now the challenges start off pretty easy for like a 6 or 7 year old. Everyone had fun solving them. The challenges by the end are very hard because they only color a few dots and you have to figure out the rest. I found some of the last challenges too challenging but then again I am an exhausted homeschooling mom with little brainpower left by the end of the day. Overall its a fun game for the kids, but the farther you get into it. the harder it gets and some kids might get frustrated.

Nice game easy to travel with. Can also keep an adult entertained for a while.

Our daughter (4 years old) loves playing this game. Either by herself or with us (the expert level). It is a great game to teach children about logic while still in a fun way. It also perfect for moments when there is not enough time to play a longer game but you do want to do something fun with your kids. We also bought the cat version, which is a bit more difficult.
