SmartGames IQ Puzzler Pro: What to Know

This is the one to buy if you finish puzzles quickly. The headline count of 120 is lower than Kanoodle's 228, but the challenges are not the same kind of thing: some are flat two-dimensional arrangements and others build a three-dimensional pyramid from the same twelve pieces. Solving a shape into a plane and solving it into a stacked pyramid are genuinely different spatial problems, and the 3D set is where the real difficulty lives. SmartGames' own framing, do not be fooled by its size, more layers of complexity and replay value than typical puzzles in its class, is reasonable rather than boastful.

The build quality claim is also specific. SmartGames says the game is crafted with durable high-grade materials and a sturdy board, explicitly comparing itself to others in its class, and the set includes a compact game board with a transparent lid, 12 pieces and a booklet containing all 120 challenges and their solutions. The transparent lid is the practical detail: you can see the state of a part-solved puzzle without opening it, and the pieces stay put in a bag.

The stated age is 6 and up, which is the lowest on this page, and the listing describes it as suiting ages 6 to adult. The player count field says 1, which is accurate and honest rather than inflated.

Two honest notes. Solutions being printed in the booklet is a mixed blessing with children, since the temptation is immediate, and some parents remove that section. And the SmartGames IQ range is large, with IQ Fit, IQ Twist, IQ Link and others using different piece shapes, so the name on the box matters when ordering.
