Gely terrible atención noooo lo recomiendo en absoluto, nunca me llegó no me respondía el vendedor y prefirió reembolsar me sin aviso mientras que yo seguía esperando la entrega , tampoco me avisó de la cancelación y el reembolso tuve que comprar otro con el tiempo encima en mercado libre: Aparte de la excelente calidad, estaba a un super buen precio satisfecha al 1,000 %

Maria: Hello,
I only gave it a 4 star because I want more cards either available in the box or as a side digital download. I'd even purchase more cards if they had them as an accessory...but free download is much better. Just an idea to advance the product. Overall well made great idea!

Luna Agnes: Great activity for toddlers

Lady K: Please ignore all the negative reviews saying this game isn’t challenging enough and made for 3-5 year olds...these comments are founded on ignorance and/or a general misunderstanding of the purpose of these puzzles. The game is plenty challenging, and lots of fun if the game instructions are FOLLOWED PROPERLY. My 3 and 5 year old had a blast (with plenty of potential for them to keep growing into this game as the puzzle levels increase in difficulty). Even my hubby and I took turns and shared a few laughs ourselves on some of the higher level puzzle cards.

2 individuals (or you can even make it team play), race to complete the shape structure in the correct order/positioning FROM MEMORY. Players only have 10 seconds to look at the card, and then it’s supposed to be hidden from sight during the building process...the puzzle card is not meant to be used as a building instruction sheet…this is NOT LEGO! Lol! It is supposed to help develop short term memory, strategy and spatial understanding. Puzzle cards start off easy, and the challenges increase in difficulty (40 in total). The direction of the patterns on each block is important too when constructing each puzzle...

A Sharp: I use this game in my Public Speaking course (Freshman-level Speech) for college students. We play the game 2 different ways:

1) Active Listening/Effective Communication: There are about 5-6 students in a group. I have the picture cards. One student from each group will come view the card for 10 seconds and then return to the group to describe how to build the structure in the picture. They have to employ memory skills and effective communication skills during this process. They have to remember the shapes, colors, and patterns on each block and how they were positioned in the picture, and THEN they have to communicate all of that info back to the group. And when they are actively competing against other teams, it's even more challenging, but it gets them up and moving and working in teams, which is my goal. (15-30 mins)

2) Team-Building/Small Group Communication: Again, there are about 5-6 students in a group (I would prefer 4 or less, but I only have 2 sets of these blocks). They determine their own roles in the group and what each member will do. Some choose to observe, some prefer to build, and some prefer to interpret the cards and direct the building of the...

Britta Hon: I bought this game for my 3, and 4 year old children. I wanted something that would be a bit educational but still lots of fun. All my children love to build and play with blocks so I thought it would be a hit. Right now the kids just like to look at the pictures and build the structure shown. Basically there are 2 ways to play.
1. you get to look at the card for 10 sec and try to build the structure based off of what you remember. The first team/child to build the structure correctly wins the round.
2. The second way to play is you build the structure then try to follow the clues on the card to alter the structure to solve the clue.
As others have said the clues have some pretty intense vocabulary such as "attributes" that seem a bit advanced for the kids but I work on trying to modify the verbage so that my kiddos can still play along. They still have a hard time with this aspect of the game but I like that they can grow with the game. The blocks are colorful and a nice size. My only complaint is the plastic they are made of makes them loud if the kids like to knock down the towers at the end of the game.
If I could give this a 4 1/2 I would the only challenge is the...
