5 Stars fun thinking fantastic learning!
My teacher and I love this game because it’s fun. She says that it is educational for me to think something’s too hard and then stick with it and find a solution. Also, she says it’s a good way to learn to check your work because you think you’ve followed all the rules until you check and double check. Then you find what you need to correct. This is a fantastic way to have fun and learn. We want everyone to know, though, that sometimes you can learn even more than you thought. Sometimes you can find more than one solution. Number 20 Intermediate had more than one solution. The book solves the card with a pink middle row but we solved it with a pink top row. This game is even better than people think. You can play each card more than once and try to solve it differently. Buy this game.
5 Stars Fun and great family game.
We have enjoyed the challenges of this game. Some of our family members have mastered the lower challenges and are now working on the hardest challenges.
5 Stars Encourages Deductive Thinking
I bought Chocolate Fix because I wanted to be able to offer my kids a better alternative than TV. I have enjoyed seeing the determined look in my son’s eyes as he attemts each new challenge. He is eight and enjoys tackling the intermediate and advanced puzzles. My five year old daughter enjoys the beginner puzzles. It has gotten more use than most of our board games and I would recommend it for parents looking for games that will help develop their children’s thinking skills.
5 Stars The best puzzle game since Sudoku
This is a great toy for all ages from about 8-9 years old. My daughter got it for her 9th birthday. I’m not going to rehash all the other descriptions since others do an adequate job of describing it. I will say that my daughter and I both love the game, and it leads to some fun daddy-daughter times where we discuss how we arrived at the solutions. The only thing I wish they would do is make replacement books with more puzzles. You use up the included set of puzzles pretty quickly, and this game is just as addictive as Sudoku. There’s a great income stream there for the manufacturer. Anyway, get it, you won’t be sorry!
5 Stars This is the best, most fun educational toy!
My 7 year old girl loves this toy!! And she is learning how to think logically. She is learning the power of deduction. It’s awesome!
