Lost – The Hatch Jigsaw Puzzle 1000pc

Posted on April 22, 2009 by Myler

41ofA%2BBi7sL Lost The Hatch Jigsaw Puzzle 1000pc Lost – The Hatch Jigsaw Puzzle 1000pc Search for clues to television’s most puzzling hit drama by assembling any of the four jigsaw puzzles in this series! 1,000 piece 19″x 26″ mystery jigsaw puzzle. Do not assemble this puzzle unless you want exclusive new insight into TV’s most puzzling drama series!
Customer Review: Really tough!
I treated myself to Puzzles #1 and #2 for Christmas since I’m a huge “Lost” fan and I was feeling deprived while the show was on hiatus. They turned out to be quite a challenge, and I just finished #2 today, February 6! Here’s a hint though: I used “mod podge” on the front to glue the puzzles together. Once it’s dry, you can stand the puzzles up against the wall while you work the rest in the feverish quest to find all the clues (yes, I just ordered #3).
Customer Review: Feeling “less than fresh” ?
Then you are in luck because this puzzle is a DOUCHE!!! It is one of the most challenging puzzles we’ve ever built. As many people have pointed out there is no picture of the finished image on the box and we did not spoil the fun by googling the image. The best system I could come up with was to group pieces by color and then go at it in smaller chunks since the puzzle is broken into a number of small sections. That worked out okay and moved us along pretty quick from there. Even so it took us well over a week to complete. Still it was pretty satisfying to finally complete it and then lay on the floor under the glass table we had built it on and charging up the back with a flashlight to see the secret messages underneath. Overall this puzzle was just so “Lost”, it really captured the flavor of the show! We’ll gloat over the finished puzzle for a few days before tackling #2!

Educational Insights Smart Games Safari Undercover Game

Posted on January 14, 2009 by Jack

51izz%2BycZML Educational Insights Smart Games Safari Undercover Game Educational Insights Smart Games Safari Undercover Game Can you help these Arctic dwellers “hide in plain sight”? Using snow and ice to camouflage the polar bear and blue water to conceal the whale and fish, arrange the six transparent puzzle pieces so that the animals are camouflaged in their correct environments. But watch out – animals can’t overlap people. With 48 challenging puzzles to choose from, you’ll be thawing out your logical reasoning skills to solve these multi-leveled puzzles.

Puzzle pieces and cards store in the game board’s pull-out drawer, making this the perfect on-the-go game. Includes game board, 48 puzzles (with 4 levels of difficulty), 6 transparent puzzle pieces and solution booklet. For 1 player.
Customer Review: Fun for all ages!!
What’s NOT to like here?!?! There are challenges of varying degrees of difficulty so that everyone in the family can enjoy this game from child to adult!! Even my four year old LOVES this game and is successful at it too, even though I think the recommended ages are 6+. A 12 year old relative loved it so much after he played ours that his mom ordered him is own too. How many other games can not only be played by all ages, but really enjoyed by all ages too. PLUS, added bonus is the game is self contained and the cards fit inside it, no flimsy outer box necessary. This would make an awesome gift for anyone. I HIGHLY recommend!
Customer Review: Challenging toy for wide age range
I really like this game because it truly stimulates spatial thinking, yet it has a simple premise with only 4 pieces with which to work. It can appeal to a wide age range as well. My four year old understands how to do it, but it’s a little challenging. We work together and he helps count the animals as we try to leave the correct number of animals exposed. I can see this game lasting for a number of years.
