My 4 1/2 year old daughter just opened this for Christmas. It is a first rate toy! It looks easy, but it is more challenging than it first seems. Some of the most difficult puzzles even took me a little while (and I'm an engineer). My daughter worked through the first 20 puzzles before deciding to move on to another Christmas toy. She was very proud of herself when she solved each puzzle. It is well-built and doesn't have too many pieces (which is nice for clean up). It is awesome for teaching logical problem-solving skills. This toy makes a great gift.

I had bought this for my 4 1/2 year old son for Christmas but ended up opening it early because we got bored one afternoon! We had so much fun going through the pages of the little booklet, completing castle after castle. He was better at it than I thought he would be, and he loved doing the harder ones and shocking me by doing it by himself. "LOOK MOM!!!" :o) The wood blocks are excellent quality, and they fit easily back into the box each time.

The product is recommended for ages 5+ but even my 1 and 3 year olds can play with it safetly. It does not contain any dangerous pieces and even though they are too young to follow the pattern-guide book...they spend LOTS of time creating their own castles!!!! My 5 and 7 year old love to follow the pattern-guide and then get creative on their own. This is a great hands-on educational toy for all ages and abilities. The pieces are well made and fit easily back in the box, even the 3yr old can find their proper space and put them away. I truly recommend this for families with multiple age levels!

I have a child who wakes up early and wakes everyone else up.

And now it's summer.

Castle Logix is a puzzle set we have had for about 4 years, and every now and again it turns up and saves the day. My little guy played with it by himself for about an hour (in one sitting) last week. Yay!

This toy is self-reinforcing. The player moves through levels of challenging puzzle layouts, trying to create the same 3-D castles as shown in pictures. The pictures are printed in full-color, and spiral-bound in sequential order of difficulty, with a little graph for mastery level progressing at the bottom. On the back of each page is the solution.

The puzzle pieces FEEL GOOD -- very smooth wood, very well made. The turret pieces are durable -- countless falls onto tile floors have not chipped the paint, damaged the wood, or caused them to break. The set comes in a high-quality box that has not been ripped or crushed in 4 years (that's some kind of record). The children can do it by themselves! It doesn't get tiresome -- like I said, they play with it a while, then put it away, then it resurfaces months later and it's all-new again. With only 7 pieces, there isn't much chance for losing pieces and ruining the game.

I like to play, too, it's a soothing way to spend time.

Best of all -- this is a great toy for the thinkers in the family, and the do-ers in the family, but even the TALKERS in the family (like my littlest) enjoy it.

This toy is great for both boys and girls and all types of learning styles. My son and daughter have two very different learning styles one is a tactile, visual and the other is my thinker and audio learner. They both sat down and played with this for hours! I literally had to pull them away as they whined and complained so we could eat lunch.
Very sturdy wood blocks with painted detail not cheap vinyl stickers. We love it! I plan on this being my go to gift for birthday parties.

I bought this last year for my 4 year old son. It is very challenging for him and for me. However, there is a lot of educational value in this toy and I would recommend it for kids age 5 or older. It is very durable and we will keep it around for a few more years.

My G/T 6 year old son loves this game. It is perfect for him to work through on his own during quiet time and the levels keep him motivated. Surprisingly he enjoys going back and redoing the challenges. We also have Castle rescue and find it equally enjoyable.

I think this is a fantastic toy! I've bought it for my daughter when she was 4 yrs old and I've since bought it for birthday presents. While I think it is a high quality/educational toy, my daughter doesn't play with it that often. I guess she isn't a builder.

Wow, I love this product. My six year old daughter spent two hours working through the puzzles. She had a blast using her logic to figure out the puzzles and working her way up to harder puzzles.

My son got into it right away - in less than 24 hrs he spent enough time with it to do all the puzzles except the 'expert' ones - and in those they do not show the colors on the castles so they are much more difficult to build.

The pieces are very high quality, I can tell this toy will last a long time. The pieces are very large, so you don't have to worry about younger children being around this toy, and odds are we won't lose the pieces because they should be easy to find due to their size.
