Lonpos 3 Dimensional 505 Brain Intelligence Game Gray

Bought this for our 8 (almost 9 year old granddaughter). I helped with the first puzzle to explain the concept of the missing (I called it the "mystery" piece) and she was off and running. She played this for close to two hours (on and off) the first evening we had it. She loved doing the pyramid puzzles. The next day her just turned 7 year old brother had to sit through two of her softball games and so he and I spent quite a bit of time playing it. He, of course, had a harder time, but he still loved doing the pyramid puzzles. They both picked up the concepts quite quickly and enjoyed the challenge of figuring out how to "intertwine" the pieces in the pyramids. I was pleased to see how they learned to follow the instructions and he, I think, learned the concept of 3D by learning to follow the pyramid instructions one level at a time. This game is small enough to take anywhere. I played this for a while on my own and enjoyed the challenge. I would absolutely rate this as a must have for all families as it can be enjoyed by all ages. The only con I can think of is that it's not easy to put the game away quickly because the pieces have to fit exactly inside the case. I think I'll mark the inside with a permanent marker to know where to place the pieces to be able to quickly close up the game. The Lonpos website provides hints (what the missing pieces are) plus a weekly puzzle. By the way, having purchased both the 505 and the 101 versions, the only difference I can see is that the instruction booklet for the 505 version has 505 puzzles whereas the 101 version has only 101 puzzles.

Product is small and quite portable which is ok. What's bother me is that 505 puzzle challenges are printed in a super tiny little book; it is hard to read and follow at certain pages. I do not see answer keys either. So good luck playing it!!

again, this is a "miniature" version of the game; i guess it is a travel version, not for large adult fingers, will have to return it.

This is a fun game, but with our extensive collection of SmartGames and Thinkfun products, this game was definitely lacking in overall quality. I also don't really like the puzzle booklet. Sure there are a lot of puzzles, but the quality of the booklet is poor and the instructions are not as large and clear as I would like. There does not appear to be an answer key. Of the 505 challenges, only 25 are 3D challenges, which was a bit disappointing. We got the game for my 5 year old son and he does enjoy the game a lot, it just doesn't impress in comparison to the quality of the top puzzle brands.

These were stocking stuffers for for 11 year old boy and 10 year old girl. I wasn't sure what they even were but they received high reviews and I loved the fact that it was a brain thinking game and especially liked the fact that it didn't take batteries. They LOVED them & still do. They even go against one another to see who can get done first. Well worth the money!

I bought this for my nephews for Christmas and they loved it! It's extremely addicting and I personally found it kind of hard! ;-) My nephews love brainteaser-type games, so this was perfect. It didn't matter what age, from 9-15, they all enjoyed it! I ended up buying two so they could play against each other to see who could finish the puzzle the fastest. What a great game and a great price, too!

It's not an Uh-Mazing!!! item, but my kid likes it and it's compact and the materials are good and it met my expectations. A lot of items of this sort on amazon are so disappointing, and this one is exactly as good as advertised, so, I like it.

Gift for grandkids. Can't say if they liked it.
