\"IQ<\/p>\n

Just in time for summer, we got another big box of educational games and puzzles — including IQ Circuit<\/a> — to review for Timberdoodle last week. <\/p>\n

\"IQ<\/p>\n

We’ve loved and used Timberdoodle<\/a> products for decades, so my kids were thrilled to see a package from our favorite homeschool supplier sitting on our front porch.<\/p>\n

\"IQ<\/p>\n

Abby called dibs on IQ Circuit as soon as she saw it, so she was first to try it this new critical thinking puzzle by Smart Games.<\/p>\n

\"Abby<\/p>\n

Designed for ages 8 and up, this one-player game includes 120 different challenges grouped into four skill levels: starter, junior, expert, and wizard.<\/p>\n

\"Easy-to-follw<\/p>\n

The instructions are simple to understand — just connect the dots to complete the circuit. But the challenges are much trickier than they look at first glance.<\/p>\n

\"perfect<\/p>\n

I initially thought our instructor booklet was misprinted, because the starter level puzzles give so much information on the set-up page, it looked more like a solution page at first glance.<\/p>\n

\"small<\/p>\n

Even so, we quickly discovered why that level included so much information. Beginners need all the hints they can get to complete these brain-training puzzles!<\/p>\n

\"portable<\/p>\n

Each level gets a little more complicated. I’ve successfully completed one of the expert level puzzles, but it took me long enough to complete that one that I have no illusions of being able to successfully skip straight to wizard level.<\/p>\n

\"IQ<\/p>\n

The size of this game and the fact that the tray opens flat to hold unused puzzle pieces makes it a great choice for road trip entertainment. Sadly, our shipment didn’t arrive in time to take on our last vacation.<\/p>\n

\"IQ<\/p>\n

But that’s okay, because it’s going to take awhile to get through all 120 challenges. We’ll probably still have a few to go when it’s time for our next road trip.<\/p>\n

\"puzzle<\/p>\n

Interested in giving this critical thinking puzzle a try yourself? You can order IQ Circuit<\/a> through Timberdoodle as a stand-alone product or as part of their 9th grade curriculum kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n
