I have purchased other Nina Ottosson games. They usually have a number indicating the level of the puzzle. What is the level of this puzzle?

This game can go from pretty easy (with all the " bone pegs" out) to pretty complex depending on how you set the pegs.

It is the "difficult" level. My dog was hysterical with this one. He gets all the others within 5 minutes but this one gave him a run for his money until he realized if he tipped it over some of the bones come out and once one does it is easier for him, but it is still the most challenging of all of them in my opinion. I also got the bowling pin that dumps out little by little and it also take him time but he absolutely loves both of those. Have fun. His tail was wagging the whole time too each time he uses it.

The twister is the most difficult level....I forget the number. It took my dog a while to get it down, but I think mentally challenging and exhausting to do it repeatedly to eat his dinner.

The website says it is 3, most difficult.http://www.nina-ottosson.com/Difficulty-levels-2.php

The box is labeled 8+, but I've played it with 5 year olds who have requested to play it again.Cheers,Dominic CrapuchettesDesigner of Wits & Wagers and Say Anything

It is definitely a difficult puzzle. I started with the border and the windows and built up from there. It takes a lot of attention to detail to finish it.

The term "puzzle" for this game I think is used a bit loosely. There are questions you will develope while playing the game because something seems amiss or just not entirely clear, but are answered as you progress. When they say "puzzle" it's probably more along the lines of "how do I want to define my character?". The choices you make during the game, whether verbally or physically, will alter the story and relationships later on. Example: a scene where people are mean/abusive to you. You can choose to seek revenge or let it go.I'm not sure if you remember these, but there were "choose your own adventure" storybooks. You were given a scenario and each choice you made had a different outcome. The term "puzzle" for this game I think is used a bit loosely.

The Double Numeral Mexican Train Set has numbers. You can get one with the dots also. Either way it's a great game to play. Enjoy!

I believe it was eight. However, you can make up extra characters. The extras can ask questions and make accusations, but do not have a script. Therefore they cannot provide information to the mystery or be suspects. Asking and accusing is the best part of the game, especially if you have a group who really gets into its characters. Hope that helps.

I believe so. But not all are used in the puzzles. I don't think any of the words use the Z or the Q.

All of my grand kids 5-10 play the regular version and love it. Boys and girls. Individually and cooperatively. I will be buying some other versions, but not the Jr. They start with the easiest puzzles and work their way through them. What they learn in one helps with the next. Hope that helps!

I took a look at the DV Giocci (the publisher) website and it has 8 and up. The listing is not correct. I will see if I can get that updated. Either game should be fine for families. The game is pretty easy and not graphically violent. Dave Boardgames4us

We bought our Moraffs Maximum Mahjongg maybe five years or more ago. That great (!!!) game was being sold very cheaply - as if it was a "leftover" game that was not selling well. In that older release version of that game there was NO need to install any code word. Our feel our Moraffs Maximum Mahjongg game is the BEST puzzle game we have ever played!

Hi, The puzzle is the width of a standard card table, (30 inches), and the height is 24 inches. These are good puzzles.

My husband and I enjoyed the game very much. I also bought one for my grandson. He's in second grade but knows multiplication tables. Players must know factors of 3,4,5, and 7 or be able to add those numbers.

I would say at least 14 and up. It is all easy to read and follow but it is about murder after all. I have only played this with adults over 21 though.

Peggy, if i am getting your question right you are asking how to play this game. You basically arrange the pegs as per the instructions for each puzzle (there are a total of 100 puzzle problems) and then make sure that all the twists can be placed such that the peg of a particular color is covered by the twist of that color. It does get a little tricky for kids and depending upon their age they might find it less or more challenging. I think it is a good game for up to 9 or at most 10 year old kids.

I buy Jigsaws Galore! and they have 50 puzzles on each disk. They sell one for $40 that has 200. I've never seen one with 2200 of them.

Also. At least one person who works with this puzzle MUST have small hands. My husband and my 14 year old son could not manipulate the top portion of the puzzle. Not sure how people without kids or women helping managed it. Lol.

I have played it with 10-12 year olds and they enjoy it. It takes thinking about the color rules and being able to understand multiplication factors - that the row or column must not repeat a color and the numbers must total to a multiple of the target number. This can be a simple, for example, as adding to find how many 3s there are in the row (if the target number is 3). This leads to the understanding of multiplication. So the younger kids who are handy with their math will benefit and have a good game.
