Smartgames are games that exercise your kids brains! Kids have to use their own skills from spatial insight to pattern recognition, and work on their problem solving abilities and memory. Smartgames include several challenges, so games never get boring and can be played over and over again!
These games are great for car rides or when kids are bored on a rainy day. We received the Ghost Hunters game to review. With Halloween right around the corner I thought this would be a fun game to play on family game night. Ghost Hunters was great. You had to arrange the puzzle pieces correctly so each ghost was lit up. It was challenging for the kids and it made them think. They had many game boards so you could play over and over again!
Catch the ghosts in the light!
Have you ever wondered what ghosts do in a haunted mansion? Play Ghost Hunters and use your brain to find out! Light up all of the ghosts in each challenge by placing all the flashlight puzzle pieces correctly. With 60 challenges it’s a scary good time for players young and old!
Smartgames are perfect for long car rides or when you are looking for a unique birthday gift! The award-winning game company gears its thought-provoking puzzles for everyone ages 3 to 103. Sitting at the kitchen table plotting the next move on a puzzle with Grandma has the same brain boosting effect as playing solo in the backseat of the minivan. Planning, problem solving, STEM subjects plus communication all come together as a child (or adult) moves one game piece and then another. Educators and toy experts have globally applauded SmartGames with more than 70 industry awards for its clever ways to explore pattern recognition and spatial insight.
