SkillmaticsEducational Game : Mind Challenge | Reusable Activity Mats with Dry Erase Marker | Gifts, Travel Toy & Learning Tools for 6 Year Olds and Up

[This review is for Mind Challenge only]I researched all the games in Skillmatics Educational Game series, and I am so happy that I purchased Mind Challenge, as it is great in every way. Especially after reading some reviews of the other games, I didn't find any of those problems with Mind Challenge.Mind Challenge meets the product description very well: it is indeed suitable for a player of 6-99 Years. It has Erasable and Reusable Activity Mats, and it's Travel friendly.1. The activities are very repeatable. I bought it for my daughter when she was 6, and she was challenged by a few activities, couldn't figure some out without help. Now she is 7, she would take it out and play those activities again, successfully completing most challenges by herself. The final activity is so difficult that three engineers in my house couldn't solve it without peeking at the solution. I am sure I can save this to have my daughter try it again next year!2. The included marker is totally dry-erasable and writes well on the mat. The marker has an eraser head that also works well. I do complain of the dry ink crumbs from erasing the writings, but the included soft cloth or tissue paper would solve the problem. (Mind my clean freak!). I saw some complaints of the included marker that is not dry-erasable with the other games in the Skillmatics game series, and I guess those may be due to quality issues? At least it's not a problem with our game.3. Solution is provided on each activity mat, and is cleverly printed upside down at the bottom of the mat. I use stickers to cover up the solutions so that my daughter really has to put her brain to work :) Again, not sure why some other reviews mentioned no solutions, which is NOT the case in our experience.Bottom line, I do enjoy this game and enjoy seeing my daughter (and myself) play with it. I came to search for another similar game today, and sadly didn't find any others comparable to Mind Challenge. But I want to write a positive review for this game that we truly enjoyed! Hope this helps!

Mind challenge is great for kids ages 6 and up. I gave it to my 6 year old cousin, and he immediately engaged with the product and had fun trying to solve the different puzzles. His 18 year old sister was also engaged with the Sudoku, which was also extremely interesting.Given that it uses dry erase markers, all games and activities are reusable. I can picture my cousin and his friends dividing the different cards up and then switching when in a group situation.Highly recommended for anyone with kids who are 6-10 years old.

Good quality. Bright colors. Pen works well. In general is good idea, but wish it has more mats. My 6 y.o. finished it all within 30 min.

I bought these for my Dad with end-stage Alzheimer's. He took to it immediately, and with a little help he was able to complete some of the tasks. He won't remember doing them the next time he picks them up, which is why the eraseable surface is so great! The provided pen is a bit thick for some of the exercises, so I just bought a package of fine tip dry erase pens in different colors.These exercises are all about problem solving and pattern recognition. Both are excellent for people with dementia, as they promote the use of skills they will lose if they aren't used enough.

The games were good but I was very disappointed with what I paid and what I received it was 6 small sheets and I thought it would have been more. I was very disappointed when he (my grandson) opened it.

This is a great concept. It has challenging activities and puzzles that are super fun and make kids and young adults really use their brains. It has reusable mats and a pen that is erasable. It guarantees hours of entertainment :) It’s surely one of the best brain building products I have bought. Do recommend!!

My kids loved the challenges and so did I they worked together and did a great job even the sudoku part made me have to think a little harder because it had a little twist to it but was actually a way to make the puzzle easier after you figured out how to do the first one only thing I wish was different would be to put the answers on a separate page. Other than that great family fun on any day!

I purchased this for my 8 year old grandson. He enjoys playing the 12 different games that encourage thinking outside the box. As a teacher of 42 years, I'm happy to see him using various skills to solve problems in a fun way. He takes them in the car, to my house, and when visiting cousins. The package arrived promptly in fine condition.

Very good. Whole family can play with this

Grt game to keep kids busy during travelling with engaging worksheet on the go .Useful for 3-4 round of play and then kids get bored by repeating solving same sheets / puzzle

Don’t buy for 15+

Product is okay and price is more...i thought of activities of game but...simply writing some puzzles....some what disappointed...

I really liked this product. It had 12 activities that can be repeated by erasing. It was a total value for money. Thank you, Skillmatics!
