EMPOWERING MINDS THROUGH PLAY

We work with the craziest mathematicians, engineers and inventors to create the world’s best logic games and puzzles. Why? Because we believe that learning should be fun, safe, interactive, and affordable.

FUN GAMES THAT SHARPEN YOUR MIND

At ThinkFun, we’re passionate about our effort to make learning fun. It drives everything we do – and every game, brainteaser and puzzle we create. We love being the spark that ignites young minds and gives children an early learning advantage.

So let me start this review by saying that ThinkFun games are my FAVORITE! The creativity, quality, and fun seriously cannot be matched. And to top it all off, there is ALWAYS learning to be had as well. (Shh… don’t tell the kids!) Educational games for the win!

We loved the Stratos Sphere game- its kind of like connect four, but it requires even deeper thinking and logic- even for grownups! I also love that it is a great two player game, because sometimes it can be hard to get the whole family together for a game- this is a great one that I can play one-on-one with my boys, have fun, use our brains, and connect!

We also LOVED Clue Master! It is so creative. It reminded me of Sudoku, but a little more kid friendly. As a mom, I love that it is compact and magnetic- everything stays together in the booklet and stores super easy so you can store it in a kid accessible place so they can play whenever they want and easily put it back away. Score. It’s a really fantastic logic and problem solving game that kids can play on their own, or work together on. My boys seriously love it.

We haven’t had a chance to play Escape the Room yet, but just looking through it makes me so excited! I am SO looking forward to getting some of our extended family members together to play- I mean, doesn’t this sound amazing? “Spend an evening working with your guests to solve puzzles, unlock hidden clues, and unravel the mystery of the Stargazer’s Manor. Will you and your guests be able to solve the mystery and save the astronomer before time runs out?”
