Learning Resources Mental Blox On The Go, Road Trip Games, 30 Portable Problem Solving Games & Puzzles, Ages 5+

I received this toy as part of an incentivized review program. My children love this toy! It can be played in so many ways and has their minds working to figure out the puzzles. Some games are difficult than others depending on the age (mine are 4yr-12yrs). It is very easy to clean up, comes with it's own cute storing case. I can easily put in my purse and have my children play and be entertained while we are out and about running errands. I definitely recommend this toy to everyone.

This is a great mind-bending game for all ages (5+)! I would even say it's great for adults--so this a great thinking game to play together (parent and child). I don't love sudoku because numbers make me crazy--but this is essentially the same game with shapes and colors. Love it! There are a variety of challenges for different levels of learners. Once you get good enough, you could even create your own challenges. This game comes in visually-pleasing, bright colors that is sure to attract even the most reluctant player. It worked for me! I would definitely recommend this game. I received this game through an incentivized review program.

I received this product as part of an incentivized review program. This has been one of my favorite LR products so far. We took this game on the train when we took a trip into the city. The box/case for the game is really well made. The board of the game snaps into the bottom of the case, so it doesn't shake around. I think this really helps since the game is meant to be "on the go." After the kids were done playing, the whole case snapped into place with the pieces in each slot, so that the game didn't move around in my bag. I really love the ability for the game to be played on your own and with other people. They each took turns playing the different games. The instruction booklet made it easy for both of my kids to play on their own. I just had to show them what the object of the game was and they were able to set it up and play on their own. One of their favorite games was the memory game and the simple chess game. Both of the kids found it interactive and entertaining. As a parent, I loved watching them play multiple games on their own during our train ride. They were so into the game, that we didn't even realize that we had arrived at our station. One of the worries I had was that when they played all of the games once they wouldn't want to play again, but they have continued to take out the game and play it again and again. We talk about beating your old record if it is playing on their own or continuing to set up different memory games together. I would definitely recommend this game to other families with kids around the ages of 5-8. Both of my kids enjoyed playing the game and they really like it that they can take it wherever they go. I will definitely be taking it to our next restaurant outing so we don't need to take my electronic devices.

If your child already loves puzzles and brain teasers, then this is a great item for them! Some of the challenges might be too hard for a Kindergartener like "slide and solve" or "sudoku" but done with a parent guiding them will make it a fun activity to do together. My son who's in 1st grade really enjoyed this. It was very rewarding to see the wheels in this brain turning and solving the challenges.

This game is perfect for kids of all ages! My almost 3.5 year old loves this game! She gets to practice her colors and shapes right now, but I love that it will grow with her and she can continue to play with it for years to come by doing the different challenges listed on the activity guide when she is a little older. She also had fun stacking the pieces and making different patterns in her stacks. I love that all the pieces fit nicely back in the box so clean up is a breeze. We have a lot of trips coming up so we will definitely be taking this game with us both on the plane and on the road. I received this product as part of an incentivized review program.

I received this product as part of an incentivized review program. Students and adults loved playing the many different games with this one piece. Although students see this is only a game, it allows them o think and focus their attention on patterns and other problem solving skills. The product is sturdy and durable; it can withstand a lot of hard use. It is easy to understand, but not always easy to solve the puzzles! This product is a new twist on the old Sudoku puzzles.

My 1st grader loves this! I love that it has 1 or 2 player games. He can play by himself or with his older brother who enjoys it as well. It can be easily taken in the car or plane. I wish it had some more fun puzzles in the puzzle book because I can see my kids blowing through them all because they love this game so much. This would also be great in the classroom setting. Would be great for center times where students could work independently or in groups. Another great project.

I received this product as part of an incentivized review program. This toy not only entertains but, more uniquely, stimulates critical thinking. It is one of the few toys that I have found that was both engaging and thought provoking. I could almost see the wheels turning in my daughter's head as she played. The accompanying "instructions" suggest a wide range of activities, starting with the fairly simply for a younger child, and progressing in difficulty. Thus, a bonus: this toy can "grow" with my child. It is compact and packaged in a sturdy plastic case for easy transport. I can see this being a toy that endures, both for its solid construction and for its very varied activities.

What a great travel game and 'mind' game in general. My daughter plays this when she has used up her 'electronic' time for the day. This game keeps my daughter busy for hours. There are so many different combinations you can do with this game- whether you make up your own games or follow the multiple instructed games included. My 6 year old daughter liked to stack the shapes to see how may ways she could stack them until they fell, how many different ways she could alternate colors/designs, and played a matching game per the instructions to name a few. This game has a hearty case that fits tight so the pieces don't fall out which makes this an excellent choice for a trip, the car, camping etc. My daughter loves the bold colors and the fun patterns on each of the shapes. The shapes are the perfect size for any size hand. This game does get addicting once you start challenging yourself on how many different ways you can combine the shapes, colors or designs. I was given this toy as part of an incentive program. Had I not received the toy due to the program, I probably wouldn't have purchased it on my own unless I had known that this game would be as fun as it is and that there are endless ways to play. I would definitely encourage others to purchase this for kids of all ages. It's a great way to keep the mind thinking and moving without the use of electronics. I'm hoping that my review will encourage others to try this toy and find as much fun in it as my family has.
