brilliant game! the combination of puzzle solving and story is done really well (except that getting around the village can get a little bit boring). the range of puzzles is terrific aswell - some very visual (rearrange matchsticks to make a picture) some mathematical and some tricky logic ones.

although my kids are too young to get it (the eldest is 3!) my nephew is 6 and he can play along and help out - it's a nice way of feeling we are playing together.

excellent game.

I think this game has some really excellent puzzles in it. The sort that when you finally solve them you get a great sense of achievement.. the "yes" factor !! A negative point is the amount of dialogue there is between puzzles, I found myself tapping away at the screen just to get to the next puzzle as the story didnt really interest me all that much. What is fab though is you can connect it online to download more puzzles weekly so even when you have completed it you havent really completed it.

I got this game for Christmas for me and absolutely loved it. It is very addictive and the puzzles (about 130 of them) are ones to make you think laterally. My 7 year old daughter has tried and completed several of the puzzles. If they are tricky you can get hints or even leave the puzzle until later so you can carry on playing the game. Some of the games need a lot of patience to keep trying the different answers, however, this is a good thing and it lets you try again and again to get the right answer. I would thoroughly recommended this game for the clever way that the challenges can be enjoyed by the whole family !

Amazing!!!

I have been absolutely glued to this. The first game in my life I have stuck with and completed.

Some of the puzzles are very hard, but lots of brain stretching stuff
