2d puzzle number 5. I don't think it has a solution.

Awesome Non-Screen Challenge!
We have had this game for awhile, and there is even a piece missing. My 6 year old who is obsessed with numbers and figuring out problems has discovered this game on our shelf and has spent hours (not on a screen!) challenging himself and celebrating each time he solves a puzzle. I would love to purchase the missing piece if possible - but even without it, he can do all...

A real Keeper for combinatorial-puzzle collectors!
These Kanoodle puzzles are joining my Tenyo "Beat the Computer" puzzles as all-time classics! I've been collecting Combinatorial puzzles nearly all my life, and these are great! I love the addition of the 3-D pyramid challenges. They are fun, and the packaging is perfect for taking along on a trip. I can't wait to share these with my grandchildren.

Great fo all ages!
We use these at the Boys & Girls Club. The kid love puzzles & brain teasers. Especially handy when we are split up into multiple groups working on different activities.

Love these puzzles
Kanoodle Extreme provides more challenges and goes beyond the original Kanoodle. We have both and both are a ton of fun. we love trying to figure out the Kanoodle puzzles. There are different type of puzzles you can do from 2 d to 3 d puzzles. They get harder with the 3 d puzzles.
This is well made, gets you thinking, and easy to take on the go.
Love Kanoodle

So many reasons to love
Independent Play - We love busy play, and Kanoodle Extreme does just that. We love that it's a game that is all about strategy and helps the kids develop some critical thinking skills. It also challenges their spacial reasoning. All skills will benefit them as they grow.
Progressive Play - As you play, the levels get increasingly difficult. We love when games can be pla...

Brain Buster for 8 kids and adults
Kanoodle Extreme is a travel sized puzzle game where you slide open a compartment to maneuver little plastic spheres. Everything fits nicely in a plastic box just bigger than a smartphone so it is completely portable. The instruction booklet has 303 brain-busting puzzles to solve. The player has to fit the spheres on the plastic board to fit various combinations, with t...

A puzzle you'll actually be excited to finish
Finding ways to keep my 10 year old entertained is not easy but this game provides a fun challenge. My son and I spent hours figuring out the 3D pyramid. I like the fact that it forces you to think two steps ahead and develop a strategy in order to complete it. Ultimately I believe it inspires curiosity which in my opinion leads to a need to learn.

Challenging and fun
This was definitely too hard for my 7 year old, but she sure did try! And she had fun trying :) My son is 10 and we worked together to figure out some of the puzzles. This is definitely a game that keeps on giving - there are lots of different ways to challenge yourself and have fun. It is one that YOU as the parent may even find yourself playing from time to time!

Suits all brains and all levels - perfect for summers!
We had never owned Kanoodle but had played it once - so Kanoodle extreme was a triple bonus, as it had three versions of Kanoodle game in one set. The 2 D sliding puzzles were more fun than the 2d ones for my son, but he loved the 3D ones the most. The booklet was rather useful and my son played it in the car instead of on ipad for the first time.I must say it was easy ...

Challenging!
This toy was a hit for my 11 year old and my college child. It is a wonderful puzzle that helps to keep an active brain. It utilizes problem-solving skills and critical thinking. The 3D puzzle is their favorite one to try to figure out. I received this as a gift in return for my honest review.

For older children with problem-solving skills mastered
This is a great game, but very challenging for mom and kiddos. My daughter is 8 and this is probably geared more to an older child which problem-solving skills already mastered. This is a well made and sturdy game. The pieces are easy to use. After reading the directions several times, we began to play. We will continue to try this game as my children get older.

Too Challenging for Mom!
I like to keep my kids brains working over the summer so they don't turn into moosh! Maybe it's not all that bad but I definitely want to keep them sharp. My seven year old son Reed especially enjoys a good challenge so I thought of him when I saw Kanoodle Extreme, even though the recommended age is 8+.

Great way to get the gears turning in their brains!
GREAT GAME! This is the perfect cure for the summer brain drain for kids. This puzzle will keep kids on their toes and interested! It is great that you can play two different ways, either 2D or 3D. If kids are struggling at first, have them go with the 2D version and build their way up to 3D. This will get their minds flowing and challenge them. You definitely won't hea...

Great game!
My kids (8 & 9) love this game! The puzzles can be difficult and they are enjoying the challenge and helping one another out. They even got all the neighborhood kids interested in playing. My husband and I have had fun trying the puzzles as well. It is very compact and will be great to take on a road trip this summer. I found the directions a bit confusing, I think they...
