Comments about Kanoodle™:

To get started you pick a 2-D or 3-D puzzle from the included booklet. I recommend 2-D first. For 2-D there are 6 levels each one has 12 puzzles Pro, Super Pro, Champ, Whiz, Expert and Genius. Then there are 4 super hard 2-D puzzles, I only have to finish #4 to complete 2-D puzzles. 3-D pyramid puzzles have 3 levels Whiz, Expert and Genius. There are 6 brain teasing puzzles per level. There are also 7 super hard puzzles. I only need #6 and #7 to complete all the 3-D puzzles! If you can't locate the 3-D side just flip over the pocket size case. The 2-D side is in the case. There should be a 48 page booklet with exactly 101 puzzles. Also 12 colorful already connected pieces. They should be tan, orange, dark blue, purple, light blue, yellow, red, dark green, pink, gray, white and light green. You play by picking the puzzle you choose you. then set it up as shown in the booklet and using the remaining pieces to solve it and you can't move the pieces it shows you to place in the booklet. If you do not know what a color looks like in the beginning of the booklet it puts a letter on each different piece, it even does that in the actually puzzles they have. For ages 7+, I don't recommend this to children 3 and under for there are small parts they can choke if tried to be swallowed.

Comments about Kanoodle™:

I actually don't own this game, but I work in a toy store where we sell it. There are a lot of slow days in our store, so I have spent many hours playing Kanoodle (not all at once of course). I have solved every puzzle except the last two 3-D puzzles. Eventually I will get figure them out. I recommend it to customers daily. Having one out on display helps tremendously. Thank you Educational Insights..you rock!

Educational Insights Response: Glad you love the game - and OUR demo policy. Letting people TRY before they BUY is the name of the game!

Comments about Kanoodle™:

This is a great game. But I'm pretty sure the first puzzle under 3-D level 3 is actually unsolvable. This is frustrating, because it makes me wonder which other kanoodle puzzles don't actually have solutions.....
