This review is from: Mindware Square Up (Toy)
I got this for our (at the time) 9 year old son. It is fun to play and a challenge for a child. As an adult, it is easy to figure out that the outer ring of squares can be used to move the inner set of nine into place. Once you get the gist of this, it is easy to complete the puzzle in less than a minute. This makes it tough because children take quite a bit longer.
So, the point is that the challenge is not there for adults (but it is really a child's game) so be prepared to take your time while playing. The game is well made, colorful and durable. We also do pattern play and other harder puzzles that are suggested in the directions. I have to add that after its initial thrill, it is not a game my son has gone back to a lot.

This review is from: Mindware Square Up (Toy)
I was disappointed to see that the colored tiles are not interlocking, but are loose in the provided playing tray. I am sure they move a lot faster this way - which is necessary as you try to win a race, but that makes it also one more game where you have to have all pieces or it becomes useless. The little shaking thingies to set the pattern are easily offset, so make sure you are putting them on firm ground. They are also small and a bit hard to recognize. The cardboard box to store it all could be made better, it's a flap opening box instead of a base and lid box.
Altogether it's a nice idea, but as a perfectionist, it also leaves me a bit unsatisfied that you only match up the inner nine color pieces, not the whole tray. That would take longer and would be a bigger challenge, but feasible. The game could have pattern cards where both players need to complete the same pattern with all tiles. Just an idea...

This is one of the best toys I've purchased. I bought it for my 8 year old daughter and she loves is. One big draw back is the tiles come out. Little did I know she took it to her grandmothers house to play and lost 4 of the tiles so it is useless now. She only had it a week.
