Educational Insights Kanoodle Extreme Puzzle Game, Brain Teaser Puzzle Challenge Game, Easter Basket Stuffers for Kids, Gift for Ages 8+

As a girl in her 20s, I love these games! I have several of the Kanoodles with varying levels of difficulty. I love to take them when traveling (specially on planes). They are small, nice quality and keep me occupied for hours while traveling. I think they would be great for older children who enjoy puzzles, or someone who wants something compact to do while traveling!

Challenging but enjoyable. This incorporates two ways to work the brain teaser. One dimensional and a 3-D pyramid. Booklet gives placement of pieces to start, the rest you figured out. The puzzle is in a secure case and the pieces are colorful. I'm looking forward to hours of fun, and sharing with others.

My kids are obsessed with the puzzles games. I ended up going back and buying two more kanoodle games. Great for a brain puzzle!

Loads of fun and challenging

Such a great gift! Bought this when it was on sale as a stocking stuffer gift and then bought one for myself too. It’s very fun to play and can be quite challenging as well. Great for all ages (adults and kids)!

Obsessed. This game really keeps you engaged.

I play with this a few times a week. It’s very relaxing to me, just difficult enough to be a challenge and not so difficult that it’s frustrating. I don’t enjoy regular cardboard puzzles because I don’t like seeing everything that I have left to find all spread out everywhere and I don’t like the mess and lack of portability, this game solves pretty much all of that for me. The puzzle pieces have a nice weight and texture to them, I really love the way they feel in my hands. I also like how everything goes neatly back into its tray and can be taken anywhere. The puzzles start off very easy to help you get the hang of it and then progress to more complex puzzles. The first few only took me about 5-10 minutes, now that I’m about 15 or 20 puzzles in, it takes me about 20-30 minutes to complete one (while watching tv-so some light distractions). The way the pieces sit just so into the tray and the slight clacking sound they make, is a pleasurable sensory experience for people who are like me and are more sensory aware. The puzzles are nice to do again even after you’ve beat them before because, unless you have a photographic memory, you forget exactly where everything needs to go after awhile, you could really get a lot of game play and re-play out of this. I definitely want to buy the other sets after I complete this one! If you like neat and compact things, organizing and sorting are fun tasks for you, and you like simple challenges, you really might like this so it’s worth trying it out!

It’s great that this set allows you to enjoy both 2D and 3D puzzles! The soft clicking sounds it makes while playing aren’t too loud—almost like ASMR, which is oddly satisfying, haha. My child started by following the instructions step by step, then eventually figured out how to build a pyramid on their own. It really keeps them thinking and engaged. Once they get more comfortable with this one, we’ll definitely try other versions too!
