This is a great jigsaw puzzle game that you can do with the whole family including kids. While it might not be as challenging in piece shapes and sizes, it’s certainly still fun if you like jigsaw puzzles. Thanks GGOTD!

Played the game for a few days. I have to give it the thumbs down. The pictures may change but not the pieces. The pieces go in the same spot for EVERY picture. Remember the shape of the piece and you will know where it goes. Also, there is not enough time to enjoy the picture. When finished with the puzzle, a window comes up over the picture so you can’t enjoy it.

Thanks from me as well, Helen. My 5-yr-old really likes the game but it was starting to get frustrating for her not being able to access the other puzzles. The arcade version would be too advanced for her.

With a bit of work to make it more family friendly this could be a really good kids game.

#28 – I found out the scoring problem. You only gain points if you play in regular mode. If you select relax mode the points will NOT be scored.

This looks like it could be a good game to relax with, but the arcade-oriented feel (even on Relax Mode) and lack of a way to create your own puzzles pretty much removes my desire to play it at the moment. It’s also just a little too easy for someone that wants to spend hours on just one puzzle.

An excellent childrens’ puzzle and game. This fits nicely into the Elefun mix of family games.

It is perhaps a little less challenging as an arcade game but it is a great mental exercise that helps the child develop skills of differentiation. In consideration of the family, the pictures are interesting and pure, no unsuitable content. It is easy for a young player to get the game started and playing without going through many options and menus. There are difficulty levels to encourage advancement and a star points systems to provide incentive.

This game should rate 5 stars for the family educational games category. I recommend that the publisher market this specifically in that genre. It deserves a better audience than the one it has received here today.
