THE GENIUS SQUARE | The Happy Puzzle Company, 2 player game

It doesn’t take long to solve and with 62,208 possible puzzle combinations it should last for years. I’ve had some games last over 20 minutes and have beaten some in less time than it took me to set up the board. If you're looking for learning toys that will help your child learn a specific skill then it's important to make sure that the toy is age appropriate. These are all important topics that you may want your child exposed to from an early age so that they can begin learning about these things before school starts and continue learning throughout the year. The plastic grid is grooved so that the pieces don’t move around and the blockers and coloured polyomino shapes are wooden, a good size and easy to grab, hold and place on the grid.The plastic grids in The Genius Square are good quality with little grooves to stop the circles and wooden playing pieces slipping around.

There are plenty of games and activities that can be done at home that don't require spending a ton of money.This puzzle game encourages sequencing, spatial awareness, speed of thought, strategic planning and visual perception. However, pitch two contenders of a similar age together, and you can really sit back and enjoy the mêlée that ensues. This can be played as a solo game to challenge yourself and beat your previous best time or, as there are two boards and two sets of shapes and blockers, as a two player game to challenge each other to see who can complete it first.
