The Happy Puzzle Company - The Genius Square - 62,208 Puzzle Challenges for Friends and Family Board Game Night - Logic STEM Educational Learning Resources (The Genius Square)

The Genius Square is a fantastic little game that combines logic, strategy and speed in a way that keeps both children and adults equally engaged. It’s one of those rare puzzle games that’s easy to learn but genuinely challenging to master, making it ideal for family game nights or quiet solo play. Setup takes seconds - roll the dice, place the blockers as shown, and race to fill your grid using the geometric shapes. Despite the simplicity of the concept, the sheer number of possible puzzles (over 60,000 combinations) gives it massive replayability. Every round feels fresh, and the balance of skill and luck keeps it fun for players of different ages and abilities. The components are well made. The boards and pieces feel solid and durable, and everything packs neatly into the box for easy storage. It’s also compact enough to take on trips or holidays without taking up much space. It’s a great mix of entertainment and education too, promoting spatial reasoning, logic, and quick thinking without ever feeling like a learning exercise.

A great game that is good for all ages. You’ll only get about half an hour of playing time before it gets a bit repetitive but each game is quick and lasts no more than 5 minutes. Good fun.

I don’t normally write reviews but this game is absolutely brilliant. It is fun to play and really is suitable for all ages. It can get very competitive too if playing with multiple people. Highly recommend!

Brilliant game. Simple concept, but such good entertainment for adults and kids alike. This game can be played with two players but like solitaire can also be played independently. You have to fit certain shapes around several counters against the clock to beat your opponent. It's interesting how you can play this repeatedly and you'll each come up with a different strategy. Solid wooden pieces and a plastic grid are included as well as several dice. We've played this game for hours and can see that there a lot of longevity in keeping the whole family entertained. My 3 year old son even enjoys solving the puzzle by himself.

Simple but addictive fun game, takes seconds to learn how to play.

This is a brilliant game which was given to us as a present. We are totally hooked on it and have introduced it to our daughter and son-in-law - also totally hooked. However, when we ordered another set for a Christmas present, the one that arrived was subtly different. In our original set, there is a handicap facility which is really clever as it makes it a suitable game to play with children, so they aren't always the loser. The website doesn't make this distinction entirely clear, and I feel it should. I would suggest it is important to buy the set with the handicap facility. You don't have to use it, but it's there if you need it.

Great game - highly recommended. Simple concept. All ages in our family loved it. Brilliant brain game.

Keeps the noodle ticking. Highly addictive and a great way to keep our 8 year old off screens. Will look to buy other puzzles from this company.
