SmartGames - Walk the Dog 1 Player Puzzle Game

Got this for my 7 year old niece. Took a bit of getting to grips with but she has good concentration skills and really liked it once she got going. Need an adult to help get them started with it maybe. Well made and good design. Comes with storage back to keep all the bits together.

This review is for "Walk The Dog" game from Smart Games. Contents 1 x game board 3 x people with dogs on a leash 1 x sitting dog 2 x cats 1 x tree 1 x booklet which lists the challenges and the answers (if required) 1 x drawstring bag for storing the pieces Age This game is perfectly suited for the manufacturer's suggested age of children seven years old and over as well as adults. However my six year old granddaughter has also played and thoroughly enjoyed some of the very early levels in this game, so maybe six years and over is more appropriate. Design/quality This is a very well designed and thought out game. All of the pieces are good quality with no sharp edges or unfinished bits. In use This is an absolutely brilliant game ... it tests your logic, planning and problem solving abilities to the max. It's very simple in concept but can be very addictive and challenging in reality. This is a single person game and you are faced with 80 challenges starting at an easy level and then increasing in difficulty up to the 80th level. And believe me when I say some of the higher levels are very hard to solve indeed. The idea is to place the dog, cats and tree following the set up in the booklet, then you need to solve the puzzle ... by placing the owners with their dogs on leads around the board. Sounds simple? It isn't ... you have to make sure that the lead is fully extended straight ahead, that none of the leads cross each other, nor go over the obstacles, nor be placed diagonally. I like ** Ingenious game ** Great fun ** Can be played by yourself or with others ** Well made ** Increases logic, planning, cognitive abilities, problem solving etc. ** Relieves boredom ** The 80 challenges are very well thought out ** And if you really want to cheat ... the solutions to the puzzles are included in the booklet. I dislike ** Nothing it's all good Price I think the price of £18.56 (price correct at the time of this review) is a fair price for this game ... after all someone had to come up with the 80 challenges. Highly recommended

Slightly strange 1 person game

A really cool puzzle game. Some of the challenges are really tricky. Perfect for a workout of the brain. Both my 8y and 11y old think it's great. Must admit, Ive found it good fun too.

My kids had fun playing this and trying to solve the challenges! this comes with a booklet of challenges which you must solve on the board, with the dogs and their walkers. This really encourages problem solving and logic so I really liked it for the educational side of things.

Very well made, very well presented, and his (Dutch, as far as I remember) game is fun even for 2-year-olds. The rules are easy to remember and if your child is into board games (which mine isn't), this will provide a good challenge and will be easy to play so well made and great looking it is. I, personally, like it very much, but you have to be honest with yourself and admit whether your little darling will really like this type of games. I am happy to recommend.

small figures and a puzzle game which entertains -quite simple to play and not easy to win always so enjoy!

I do like a good puzzle and although I really got this for the older grandchildren when they visit I keep getting it out myself. You wouldn't think that 16 squares could put your mind into overdrive. This is a 1 player game where you work through new challenges from easy to expert. 80 challenges in total. I really won't move on until I complete each one in order. The rules are simple set up the board as per card and take the chalkenge without crossing the lead over anything or where something is. This is a games where hours disappear and you haven't done anything. Brilliant from ages 7 up and up and up.

Another cute Smart Games product. This one has the usual top quality plastic playing pieces and fun theme. I love the fact they threw in some cats! If like solo games that helps you think, and enjoy dogs and cats, this one is for you.

Bis her haben alle Smartgames überzeugt. Spitzen Produkte und auch das „fang den Hund“ kann ich nur empfehlen
