SmartGames Cats & Boxes Logic Puzzle Game with 60 Challenges for Ages 7+

This is more a mind bending incredible puzzler rather than a game. The size is perfect for playing and for taking on trips. All ages can play this. My adult daughter loved it and was great at solving the many many options, as was my 7 year old grandson! It stretches the mind and everyone really enjoyed it. There are so many options for playing, this item will never get old. I'm still trying to figure out how various minds react so differently to this very incredible item. It says a lot about the way different people solve situations. I have to admit I wasn't the top players which is a great curiosity to me that I've yet to figure out, lol. The 7 year old performed better than i did. This is a phenomenal activity that everyone should have and experience. The tactile aspects are great, fun to use and move the pieces about. A keeper that should be in every home. I am so curious about the mind of the person who created this!

I really love the quality of this logic puzzle as well as the variety of challenge levels it offers. The plastic cats, tiles, boxes, and board look realistic and are really fun to manipulate. (They cats are awfully cute, too!) It's not only fun but a great tactile (and visual) experience for both older kids and adults. The first page of the full-color, glossy instructional booklet offers hints to get you started. The game is easy to store in its own container and box, and easy to travel with on car rides. This game is made to last. I'm beyond impressed with this puzzle and am looking forward to purchasing more games from the Smart Games brand (they have a digital game platform as well, but you need to subscribe to it after a trial period). Great for gifting. Very highly recommend!

Picked this up as a travel game to pass time on our road trips. I was originally looking for the exact game "Rush Hour" to replace an older version I have and ran across this instead, took a chance and love it! It's designed PERFECTLY for travel wether you want to use the box or not. It's fun and at least somewhat challenging for all ages, I'm not too far from 30 years old and it was a delightful experience! Kids would enjoy it even more and find more challenge to it but I absolutely love how fun it is and the construction & quality are superb, I doubt anyone could make this better. This is definitely made by a top-teir gaming outfit. You get 60 puzzles to solve in the book, all sorted by most easy to most difficult with solutions in the back few pages. You set up the board as the book's visual diagrams describe for the puzzle you're solving then you move each tile one at a time until you have a cat in every box (very cute!). Like I said they start easy enough that only 5 moves solves the puzzle but towards the end of the book you'll be working on puzzles difficult enough that you're BOTH boxing and unboxing cats in the same puzzle to complete them. This makes it versatile enough for all ages.

I bought this for my grandson. He likes puzzles and challenges, and cats! One thing I liked about this game is he can play it with others or by himself. I also liked that because this game has 60 challenges he is not going to tire of it or outgrow it any time soon. He loves it! He quickly learned how to play and was hooked. His mother said my grandson often plays it at night in bed before going to sleep because it helps him unwind. I like that the game is fun, but also teaches logic and problem solving. It's a win-win when a game is fun and also has educational value without a child even realizing they are learning.

This is an addictive, clever toy and my 13 year old grandson can’t put it down. The puzzle gets increasingly challenging and is very well made. Highly recommend!

Kids love it! Fun challenge!

This game is exactly what I hoped for! Super cute and cozy game. Meant for solo play, the kids also have played taking turns which was fun too. It's super easy and quick to learn HOW to play, but challenging enough to keep them playing. The other thing that I LOVE is the case it's contained it. No floppy box to deal with- just the cat pieces, tile pieces, instruction booklet and a clear lid that keeps them all together. Perfect size for travel while not being too small either. They all want their own set- they're 10, 13 and 20! Highly recommend this game for puzzle lovers and cat fanatics of any age.

I really love the look and feel of the board and pieces. The puzzles are challenging, too! Highly recommend!
