The game has serious flaws in it. It will not allow you to pass levels if you score the same each time you play. If your child plays a game, chooses the easy level and scores 100, he will not be able to pass to the medium level in the same game due to never being able to improve the original score. The game does not recognize the child scored the maximum points allowed, therefor the child has not improved their score which means they do not get to pass to the next level. Another words, ask your child to play dumb so they can pass to the next level. I am sure this will apply to each level and game. I have deleted the profiles and recreated it hoping to fix this issue so my children may play it without pretending not to know the answers. This is impossible. I attempted to play the games, the first three tries being below average, then on the fourth try exceeding, which allowed a pass to the medium level and unlocking more games. This must be done repeatedly in order to continue through the game. If you make a mistake and score high, you will have to delete the profiles and create another one, starting the process all over again.
My recommendation would be not to purchase this game unless you plan on teaching your children to dumb down or pretend to be something they are not. As for the makers of this game, send out a recall and make it right with those who purchased this game.

thinkSMART for Kids 8+ is the perfect game for your average grade-schooler. It gets kids to think without thinking about thinking. That's a mouthful! What I mean is, they are concentrating on playing a game but at the same time strengthening their mind. It's a win-win for both kids and adults.

The beginner level of this game is too easy for my 8 year old son, and it will not let us select any other level beyond that.
