Logic Game for Adults

Visual Brain Storms: The Smart Thinking Game, created by ThinkFun, is a set of 100 cards designed to challenge and stretch the mental faculties of children who love word games, logic puzzles, secret codes, mazes, and math mysteries. The cards feature humorous, full-color drawings, each accompanied by a "brain-teasing" question that often involves characters with quirky names or faces, or puzzles requiring spatial reasoning, logic, or sequential thinking. The answers and explanations are provided on the back of each card, along with a related bonus question.

Many of the puzzles in Visual Brain Storms require the application of math concepts, spatial reasoning, logic, or sequential thinking, while others can be solved using common sense. For example, one question asks, "Frank and Helen's annual singles elimination tennis tournament has drawn 18 players this year. How many matches must be played before there is a winner for the year?" The answer explains that every match will produce one loser, and every person other than the winner will lose once and only once, so it will take 17 matches to determine the tournament winner.

The stack of cards includes more than 100 "zany eyeball tanglers, logic puzzlers, twisted mazes, coded messages, 3D be fuddlers, and brain conundrums." Each card has a bonus question that frequently depends on visual clues, encouraging players to pay close attention to the details on the front of the card. The cards are color-coded to indicate difficulty, allowing players to choose challenges that match their skill level.

Visual Brain Storms can be played alone, with one opponent, or in teams, making it a versatile and engaging game for players of all ages. This version of the game won a 1996 Parent's Choice® Honor, with the reviewer describing it as a "humorous, painless way to improve those higher-order thinking skills."

In conclusion, Visual Brain Storms is a unique and entertaining game that challenges children to use their problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and visual acuity to tackle a variety of brainteasers and puzzles. With its colorful illustrations, engaging characters, and bonus questions, the game promises to provide hours of fun and intellectual stimulation for young puzzle enthusiasts.
