IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE BEEN TREATED TO A BRAIN TEASER

I was super excited to see a Brain Teaser game today, and I had a blast playing it. With that being said, I do wish they had included a "freeplay" section option, that would allow you to select specific categories to play, not just Wheel of Fortune, luck of the draw feature. I also wish that the categories increased in difficulty levels as you progressed. I have a game I purchased several years ...Show more

I was super excited to see a Brain Teaser game today, and I had a blast playing it. With that being said, I do wish they had included a "freeplay" section option, that would allow you to select specific categories to play, not just Wheel of Fortune, luck of the draw feature. I also wish that the categories increased in difficulty levels as you progressed. I have a game I purchased several years ago, in this same wheelhouse, that did just that, each category progressed in levels, and each level became increasingly more difficult. You could also choose the exact brain teaser you wanted to master, and I gotta tell you, some of the simplest sounding games were the hardest. (since I can't mention the name, you're welcome to PM me :)

You start out with 5 Lives and you can either spin the Wheel of Fortune wheel or click the "I'm Feeling Lucky" icon, to randomly select the next Game Category. The wheel of fortune also has extra lives you can win if the arrow lands on a heart, and then you'll receive an extra spin, so you'll probably want to opt for TWoF over the feeling lucky icon.

Each game category begins with a simple set of instructions, and each game category will cost you one of your Heart Lives to play, Then you simply choose the Right or Left picture (either by clicking the arrows or by clicking the picture itself) to answer the question or select the correct answer. If you select the correct answers for an entire category, you will earn an extra life, but if you select the incorrect answer, you won't lose a Life, but the game category ends at that point.

After completing the game category, you continue by answering Trivia Questions in the same manner, (right or left) until the Time Remaining from the game category runs out. After each question don't forget to click "next" for the next question, because the more questions you can fit in, the more chances you'll get at earning more lives. There are also Extra Lives available, by clicking on Hearts that randomly appear on the game pages, but if you don't click them quickly, they'll disappear.

I played this game for the entire demo, but was never given the opportunity to play all of the game categories, which I assume was their way of getting you to purchase the game, so you could finally access the other categories. The categories I was able to access, aren't really that difficult, which is why it would have been nice if the games in each category, would progress in difficulty each time. If they were more difficult each time, I didn't notice it. Here's a list of brief descriptions of each of the game categories I was able to play:

1-Word Search: choose the side that contains the words (shown 1 at a time) in word search samples.

2-Stacked Discs: choose the side that contains the exact shapes that are shown stacked in the example and not stacked in the picture choices.

3-Hidden Objects: choose the side that contains the hidden object shown as either a picture, or word for the example.

4-Mystic Symbols: choose the side that has the exact Symbol shown.

5-Memory Game: you are shown cards to memorize on each side briefly, once they flip over, a card is shown at the top, choose which side contains that card by memory.

6-Pattern Finders: choose the side that contains the exact pattern shown.

7-Bigger/Smaller: choose the side that contains the biggest value.

8-Color Blocks: choose which side shows the same number of blocks as shown.

9-Missing Numbers: choose the side where the given number is missing in a series of numbered tiles.

There are 7 Trophies to earn, and if you run out of Heart Lives, the game simply starts over. The Trivia questions range in questions about Movie Stars, Animal facts, famous Landmarks, Countries Currency, Colors, Fruits, Flags, Population, and even Inventions and Which came First questions. Although it's a Timed game, there is usually plenty of time to finish the games themselves but is designed to prompt you to make split second decisions on Trivia questions. It's not as "Brain Challenging" as the game I mentioned in the beginning of this review, but it is fun, and worthy of a PCC, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I’m really enjoying this game. Challenging and has plenty of variety. There are hundreds of fun trivia questions and you can get more life with small puzzles. My favorites are the Stacked Discs, the Word Search and the Hidden Object puzzles.
Happy gaming!

I recommend this game!

This is a good game! It's challenging and fun. You get to see just how much you know. There should be more games like this instead of all the "dark" games that are offered. You get to use your brain more. Keep these type of games coming.

I recommend this game!

For older people like myself this is a great game. Think fast choose carefully. Taxes my brain and it is so much fun. Lots of trivia questions so I am learning as I play. Nice to have fun, learn, and challenge the brain all at the same time.

I recommend this game!
