If I could give 10 I would do it
This game is SUCH a rare exception to the other meaningless PC games on the market that it should be separated into its own category. FINALLY there is something on the market that forces our kids and us to THINK, LEARN, and EXPLORE. I loved it, and for me the word "love" is a very strong word never used before for PC game. My 11 years old son was suspicious at the beginning but he played for 2 hours straight and needed to be pulled out of computer. My sincere thanks to the creators of the game and to all other folks who participated in creation of this beauty.

Totally fun and worth it!!!
Hours of enjoyment will surely come with you and your family working together to solve the puzzles. My son impressed me with his willingness to persevere. Great choice!!

Should carry a warning: Highly addictive
Purchased this for my 12yo son. He got his 9 yo brother hooked. I decided to take a look and see what it was all about and spent the next day at work yawning 'cause I stayed up WAY TOO late just doing one more puzzle... and then just one more.... My husband is the only one who hasn't gotten hooked on it yet - due to our warnings and lack of access to the computer to play!

Some of the puzzles get a little frustrating but there is a "cheat file" with screenshots of solutions to resort to. It is often a matter of just a very fine difference between solution and failure, and hard to see, but so far we haven't come across one we couldn't figure out. The boys love being able to set up a screen full of explosions and just letting it go in their own "free form" designs.

I bought this game for my grandson's 9th birthday. He thinks it is the greatest--so does his Dad.

This is a great puzzle game. If you like shooting a cannon to turn on a switch to start a fan to blow a blimb to... You get the idea. Fun fun fun!
