SmartGames IQ XOXO Portable Travel Game Featuring 120 Challenges for Ages 6 - Adult

My son saw a friend using these at a Scout event and I purchased these to throw in my purse. They are great, super compact for a bag or pocket and love the fact that it is an activity for him outside the house that's not a tablet. Great design, love the fact that it's durable and compact. My son is 7 years old and has played it with kids as young as 3 or 4 who it enjoy it too. Awesome product!

Really good game. Whole family is hooked up with it

My son loves this game. Great for on the go!

This is a fun puzzle game that can be played at home or on the go. IQ Twist is very well made, the pieces are sturdy and the game comes in a nice case. The puzzle book is also well made, the pages are not flimsy, are made out of coated material, and are easy to turn. The controls on the gameboard are easy to read, which is necessary to set up for each puzzle. The pieces fit well into the slots.Not only is this a well made game, it promises hours of fun as well. There are 100 puzzles included in the booklet. Set up the game board according to the puzzle you are going to work on and go to it. You set the pegs in holes based on the puzzle design, then you have to make all the pieces fit on the board while making sure the piece fits on the same color pegs. This is a lot harder than it sounds - it's challenging from puzzle number 1. Twist and turn the pieces around, taking them off the board and putting them back on until you find the exact combination/placement for that puzzle. Answers are included in the back of the book to keep you from tearing your hair out, but honestly what's the hurry, just keep at it until you get the placement just right.

I bought this for my 6 year old son as a stocking stuffer. I knew it would probably be too difficult for him, but I figured that I could help him play with it (and maybe even play it by myself).Overall, it has worked out well. He and I spend time working on the puzzles together, and when he gets stuck I explain problem solving approaches that may help. Even some of the the beginner puzzles can be too tough for him, but he'll grow into it. It is pretty fun for me, though, as I figured.The game is very small and the pieces could easily get lost, but we are careful when we play it. I would not recommend the game for travel unless used by a much older child (10+), although the case seems fairly sturdy and clasps fairly tight.

I got one for my grandson and I enjoyed it so much that I got another one for myself. Many puzzles in the little booklet. Fun way to keep brain puzzling!

Fun, sometimes very tricky to solve. Nice diversion.

Our daughter is one that has to keep busy. This is a great way to keep her busy and thinking without the use of a tablet. There are so many different "games" within this game that it keeps her entertained for longer periods of time than other games that are more simple. I am looking into other games from this brand for future gifts as they work great in the car and in the house alike!
