Description:

This review of Smart Games, Challenge 1 has been in development for quite some time - because we've been playing the games since May! Besides containing a collection of over 300 incredible games, Smart Games, Challenge 1 is a contest to find the smartest person in the U.S. (Not valid in all states; see contest rules for details.) Imagine that! There are cash prizes to be given, but enough advertisements - visit their website to learn more. There are twenty different puzzle categories and the title even keeps up with your current score and your best score for each puzzle. You'll be amazed at the array of word, strategy, math, logic and visual puzzles.

Features:

• Crosswords
• Native Tongue - translate cave drawings
• Word Melt - "melt" one word into another.
• Car Jam - strategic thinking
• Take a Number - here's the answer, figure out the formula!
• Viewing Cubes - Imagine flat objects in 3-D
• Generations - create matching life-form patterns
• Entropy - can you turn the white squares black or gray?
• World Series - try to spot the pattern
• Anagrams, visual teasers, crosswords, strategy movement games, cryptograms, hidden word puzzles and MORE!

Comparisons

There is NOTHING to compare Smart Games, Challenge 1 with! There are hundreds of hours of entertainment here and the title is very reasonably priced. So just who IS the "Smartest Person in America?" We all know somebody who THINKS he/she is - wouldn't this make a great gift for them?? Might get them out of your hair awhile, even.

Reactions

Smart Games, Challenge 1 offers an unbelievable amount of multi-level gameplay, and you may post your scores on their website, although net access is NOT required to join in the contest. We found this title to be utterly fascinating, a big challenge and a lot of fun.
