Smart Games - Penguins Pool Party, Puzzle Game with 60 Challenges, 6+ Ages

Well made game with lots if different levels of difficulty, so played by all ages over Christmas

Brilliant super-fun game. Challenging for kids and adults alike. What I love is that it has many hours playability. Even when all the levels are done, you can’t remember the solutions so you can just start again. Smart Games are so well made - they just exude quality. Perfect for improving brain power and a great alternative to screen time.I can’t speak any more highly of these fabulous games!

My 6 year old got this for Christmas. He really enjoys it. He is good with puzzles, and so far has tackled the 6 hardest games, and got them in a few minutes. So I am not sure if this game will last him for more than a couple of years, but he does really enjoy it, and the feeling of achievement is great. It was a good buy.

These games are great for adults & children-my nephew loves it.

My little boy loved this but be careful if your house is like ours and you loose pieces!

Smart Games makes the nicest puzzle games for kids I've seen. This is small enough to throw into a backpack but in no way feels cheap or disposable. It's beautifully tactile with chunky attractive components. The puzzles are divided into several difficulty levels. Each puzzle sets the location of the penguins (harder puzzles = fewer penguins) and the puzzle involves fitting the ice flows around them. The idea is simple enough that my 5-year old grasped it immediately, but even an adult would find these a challenging diversion. As a cognitive scientist, I'm keen on logic and reasoning puzzles for my child. It's true that there are good app-based logic games and puzzles, and apps offer a cheaper alternative. But minimising screen time is a good thing, and working with tactile puzzles is a healthy and nourishing experience you can't fully replicate with virtual puzzles.

Excellent for all ages . 5yr old loved it. Obviously gets harder as the games progress. Kids love the little penguins. Ideal for travelling and taking on holiday.

Bought as a present. Good concept and like how it goes from easy to hard to build up skills. The kids liked it as did the adults. Well presented and decent instructions. There are loads of games from this manufacturer for different age ranges and already have a few of the others.
